Awesome video guys! What a treat to be along for a ride on such a fantastic machine. I would have never guessed that it was up to 60 mph; the bike appeared to me moving along effortlessly. I think it's wonderful that Arthur shared this bike with us. John's narration provided an excellent description of the riding experience along with a nice it of supporting history on the Series A Rapide.
What was amazing on my Shadow was how much headroom in the power band it had. Shifting from 3rd to 4th at 7,000 rpm and watching the tach drop to 2,100 I always felt like I'd just entered some sort of time warp, the universe daring me to take it back up to 7,000 again, I never had the nerve too. The bike could cruise at 100 mph all day long with no effort at all while it begged for more throttle.
When you laugh while riding a motorcycle. That alone says so much.
What a beauty!
Amazing to think it's an 85 year old bike. Great video.
