[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 39065, member: 2781"] I submit that very few bits were poorly designed or made considering the moment in time of their production and the poor machinery and financial condition of the factory , and with the underpaid employees that made them . They created a miracle of soul and beauty never equaled , records around the world and undying love in the hearts of their owners . Two guys rode a Shadow steadily almost every day for 100,000 miles , solo and sidecar through the worst of weathers to prove its worth and durability with few replacements and never a carbon removal or valve job . Tell me any other bike in 52 that could have equaled that feat . No one will convince me otherwise . Who in the late 40s produced the equal of a Black Lightning in beauty and performance ? No one on Earth . My case rests . There is simply no counter argument . Sid . [/QUOTE]
