Another excellent vehicle from Coventry ... and after record setting returned to Coventry to take it's place in our transport museum. The day it returned, it toured Coventry (on the back of a lorry - not really designed for driving round the streets ....) My kids were allowed out of school to see it - as it came through our part of the city - must have passed within 100m of home.

It is mainly black ... I believe they were keeping the bronze paint on standby to add the extra-performance-highlights should it have initially failed to take the record.

Getting a bit bored of this now. This argument has been raging since time began (or at least since the motorcycle was invented).

Can we just all agree that yellow bikes are just wrong in so many ways and just leave it that

The trouble with that picture is the pots on each side of the armchair, they have silver inlets as everyone knows that silver moves the fastest. the rest is black cos its just envious.

... or to obliterate the nasy rust bronze colour of course
