A song springs to mind.... "I can hear music.... I can hear music.... Sweet sweet music..." 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That smoke is probably vintage Castrol R, that aroma in the garage must have been something. You should have bottled it.
I’d ride it for a few hours first. Then tune it
The way all Vincents should sound!
Something That Will Piss Off The Neighbors...Priceless!!!
I love the way the guy Takes a deep breath of the fumes. Some internal combustion is sweeter than roses
What a lion's roar that bike belches out! Unbelievable for something from the Mid-20th century. Pure black gold.
That bike demands respect.
When I was a young bloke, father and son duo, Eric and Ron Nicoll campaigned Vincents in their road racing outfits here in Western Australia. They sounded amazing with the megaphone exhausts, long before noise was considered an issue. Ahhh, the memories of methanol and castor.
Fantastic - especially when it smokes up that MV Augusta...bike to bike know your place.
Possible the coolest bike ever
Love the smell of Castrol R. A friend of mine's Dad used it with Scott water cooled twins.
I love the sound of a Vincent, I can't afford one but I will be out riding my nasty old bevel Ducati caff racer tomorrow in cold English weather. Conti 'silencers'and screaming intake sounds of open Dell'ortos is just as good. Thank you.
Love the way you nearly dropped a million dollars then.
Sounds goooood!
This is so cool! I love the videography and editing!
Ah yes Castrol R, we used to put some in our petrol tank. Just to smell it.
I thought there was 31 made but none the less the fasted production bike of it's time and a modified supercharged version topped 180 mph
You Guys Have Great Kick A$$Job.
There was a pool of oil underneath it at the end of a brief run. And I believe that it's is backfiring through the carburetor.
Reminds me of starting my old employers Rapide after it sat in his billiard room for many years ,absolutely smoked the house out and boy did we cop it from his wife.
She's had a 'Life' that bike . You could make a Movie just about that One-Bikes racing career , epic . Dave NZ
TAKE IT OUTSIDE ?????😣Awsome ICONIC BIKE !!!😀 I WOULD NOT BREATH !!!???g
Put some new rings in it and let it idle.........................................................................
Behold The unenforceable no smoking sign! -DU69160
In the 1950's a Black Lightning was $1,800 when a full dress lndian Chief was $1,400.
I can see why you wouldn't want to ride this thing on the road, a million dollar bike
Hope the extractor fans are on
There was actually between 33 and 39 made
I heard there were 33 made on classic motorcycles show
So glad you have started a Channel. Followed you for a while on other socials. Hoping to visit later in the year on one of my Throttle Downunde Travel videos
Wonderful!! just one thing ,those "ball end "handlebar levers look so wrong. but what a beast.
What bit(s) began its life as Black Lightening? I would not have thought one half of one crankcase would constitute the title, Black Lightening.
If the bike has been sitting a long time, I'm not sure I'd have revved it up as high as he did when first starting it. Also, why was it backfiring thru the carbs (Amal's?)?
The fact that it was smoking like that indicates they have just dragged it out of a barn and reved the nuts off it, at least he checked to see if the oil was returning, but this is not a good way to treat a bike that has been sleeping for many years.
The smoke is almost certainly caused by ‘wet sumping’. Oil seeps down into the crankcase past the oil pump so when first started you get the billows of smoke from the exhaust. My 52 Rapide was the same after a winter lay-up. Cured 100% by the late-great Patrick Godet fitting a new oil pump. The smoke can be minimised by draining the crankcase before starting. It looks like they didn’t do that.
@@peterg2yt Totally correct, it seems they have not even drained the settled oil in the crankcase before thrashing this sleeping beauty.
Yes, makes me wonder if that have much experience of dealing with old bikes... it LOOKS not.
@@peterg2yt Very sad to see this historically important machine being abused like this, loos like it was purchased for a low price 30 years back and is now being thrashed for the camera.
No need to call the exterminator now !
If only You Tube came with exhaust smells.
Excuse my ignorance but what does HRD stand for, great sound, would be nice to hear it idle.

Appologies It Should read Howard Raymond Davies .
Leaded gas?
Some or all of them ran on methanol.
Curious. Is throttling up and down the best way? Or does that keep it going? Must have been exciting and nerve racking. Ears must still be ringing!
It wasn't runnng that well and backfiring quite a bit, so he was trying to keep it going. It certainly didn't want to idle.
Seems to me the timing was incorrect
🤯🤯🤯
A pity how bad this is...put some love in it MTFS...
Skip the first 2 minutes...
Don t think it is. The one auctioned had the motor rebuilt.
If your gonna put music over a video about a Vincent black lightning there's only one option
Yup.
RIP Little Horse GBNF FIMH
I guess you saw that one went for auction in the US not long ago for $934,000? Don't know what that would be in new zealand dollars but it was bought by an australian.
NOT Looks like a different one to me .. Does not have the World Record info painted in gas tank ....
There goes the ozone lol
Why the fuck that sexy roaring nostalgic beast has to polute so much?! It's gorgeus and it's tearing me apart!
Wet sumping caused by worn oil pump. If the excess oil had been drained before starting it would do it much less.
😳...
Is this the Vincent auctioned off and sold to Australia for a record sum of money!?
Sounds like a Frog with a full Mouth
Mind you:
1- I'm watching/listening on a phone
2- Your video was probably recorded on a phone
3- I've never hear a VHRDBL running
4- It might be a bit scratchy after many years of not running
5- It was running inside an echoey workshop ...
... and absolutely no offence intended, but jezzus it sounds really shit! LOL. Reminds me so much of my old Post-war BSA and AJS and Matchless 650 twins ... that bloody pushrod noise, that bloody chain case noise, bloody rattling mudgaurds, bloody leaky exhaust gasket AND that bloody smoke, no doubt it leaks bloody oil like a sieve too .... aaaaghhh ..... Truly British. No doubt, with a bit of a tune up and warm up, at 140mph along the Utah salt flats she'd probably purr like a pussy, or should that be scream like a banshee!
Not to mention backfire through the carbs! How much tuning was done prior? I imagine not much....nobody wants to "over alter" such a valuable bike. And nobody wants to be on the end of "he did it!" Hell, thanks for showing that bike running,yeah!!!!
Maybe actually put some work into it before you start it? If you need a rear wheel spinner to start it, you failed.
There's no kick start on a Black Lightning. The spinner is definitely safer than running across the shop hanging on to it!
Have put god awful music over everything
runs like crap
