Ok, so ever since someone here posted Richard Thompson singing “1952 Vincent Black Lightning†(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxKTzwaEa2o) I’ve been enthralled by the lyrics and musicality Richard Thompson lends in the song.
I do have a question: Where did “Red Molly†sit and where did she put her feet? I have yet to find a picture or a write-up concerning having someone on the back of a 1952 Lightning. It appears the “Vincent Shadow†had room for a second person, not the 1952 Lightning. So, if the 1952 wasn’t available with room or foot pegs, for a second person, it means, either: “Red Molly†squeezed in very close to “James†and had her feet dangling or; that James added additional seating and pegs, taking away from his “rebel†persona! Any thoughts?
Bottom line questions: Did the Lightning come in a “two-up†configuration? Could “Red Molly†have sat on the back with her feet dangling, for any length of time?
