If it was good enough for T.E. Lawrence, it has to be good...Apparently, he owned about seven of these, including the one that led to his untimely death...

I remember an aquaintance of mine in the 60s, buying one and finding out that it had once belonged to T.E.L., it increased its value many times instantly (I have no recollection of any of the values, its too long ago......but was a lovely bike eventually......though i never got the chance to actually ride it - sadly.

The owner of a Brough Superior, or a Black lightning might look down his nose and ask what makes a Hemi 'Cuda so valuable.

I was riding down The Great West Road on my Calthorpe, when a Black Shadow went flying by but the beat of it's engine only just matched that of my heart. He had hit an oil patch and spread himself over the back of a milk tanker when I got further down the road.
