[QUOTE="Calle, post: 177592, member: 1266"] Was there a Black Lightning in Ceylon/Sri Lanka? I have a tachometer and tachometer drive gear similar to the ones on the Polish Lightning for sale at Bonhams. The rumor I heard is that it came from a Black Lightning in Ceylon that was for sale in the 1980s. The same seller had a Shadow and a Lightning. The man I bought the tachometer from bought the Black Shadow (the machine is still in his possession) but wanted to wait to buy the Lightning until he had enough money. When he returned to buy, the bike was gone. I've never taken much notice of this story, it feels like a car dealer story, but picked it up when I saw the picture on the forum of the tachometer and it has the same face as the one on Cyborg's picture. Could there be any substance behind this story? Not all good stories have to be true. [ATTACH type="full"]61433[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
