Apparently I'm not much good at this posting business. Somehow I managed to only post my name with the picture that I was trying to send. The pcture is of a Vincent  in a Trackmaster frame. I'll try to add another pic here.

Yeah Bob, back in the day you could buy just the engines from Vincent dealers, so a lot ended up here in Speedway outfits. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Here is another Vincent to add to the mix. This one is in the Solvang Motorcycle Museum ,which is only about 25 miles from my house. The fairing hides the engine but not the blower drive. You don't want to get anything caught in those chains. The rod on the seat was one that was distorted under extreme use.

Here are a couple more Vincent pics. I saw this one at a show in 2008. It's the best Black Shadow that I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous.
