 The above is a Fueling W-3.. There was a Swiss or French team running one at Bonneville.. may not have been much faster than out local guys single!!

The Vincent HRD Co. was located in Stevenage Herts England..
 What I hate about the black bike, is the use of a cheap Japan powerplant to  pretend its a highe-endClassic lookalike.

 Sorta cheapens it a bit IMO, like using a China motor for a replica of a Honda roadracer...  if he left the HRD off it, be way more classy..I think..

Not too sure BB.... It was probably a basic CB70 model that has been modified, looks like a Ducati fairing....

I just had the pleasure of spending part of the day with Sam Manganaro, of Vincent Works, and Matt and Gary of Colorado Norton Works, all of which are "neighbors". As well as countless other enthusiasts. I of course was the only "Jap"builder there. What a great bunch of people to spend time with :)
