[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 42048, member: 2781"] All this sounds like marvelous and feasible stuff no doubt but note that the greatest radiator of heat is the massive crankcase and covers themselves . The oil tank certainly adds hugely to that . When At a Rally attended by Irving we saw him become incensed with anger when he saw a Rapide highly polished top to bottom , gleaming like chrome EVERYWHERE , all fins , every inch of its surface . Phil shouted at the poor fellow as follows . " You have RUINED my motor " ! The guy was crushed . I'd like to know where we're you able to find a road to run and clock that superb machine on , and what speed was reached ? A pal peaked out my modified Rapide , this in road Lightning trim , to 130 in third . Scared the shite out of him ! He was blanched white and shaking never having seen such speed on a bike before , had a 600 cc Norton twin himself . Sid . [/QUOTE]
