Vivian goes racing.

From the Mail, September of 1913. Via: Lewis motorcycles history

"Still another fine piece of workmanship is a new racing model that (Vivian Lewis Motorcycles) is now putting on the market. Great care has been exercised in selecting a special racing engine, which is fitted up with overhead valves. The frame is specially designed in having a dropped back frame, so as to enable the rider to get an extremely low position when riding at speed, thus doing away with a great portion of the wind resistance. The pedalling gear on this machine is also dispensed with. In place of the pedals and cranks there is an extra set of foot rests, giving the rider two sets of foot rests for change of position when riding a distance. The brake is tandem coupled, and is operated from pedals from both rests. The machine is handsomely finished and scientifically thought out, and should prove a popular mount this season."
