My foot is not yet back to normal, I just watch it and take it easier<br /><br /><b>Canajun:</b> It is a beautiful bike but I would be afraid to own one, or ride it just in case something were to happen to it<br /><br /><b>Charlie6:</b> I am sure someone, somewhere has put a sidecar on it "back in the old days" . The instruments look new<br /><br /><b>Jack r:</b> I think I am more practical now. I am not a mechanic so I prefer to just look at them, instead of owning one.<br /><br /><b>Brady:</b> I was following a Royal Enfield recently. I didn't know what it was from behind, but later I caught up to it. It looks small . . . I hope you find a bike in Germany<br /><br /><b>BlueKat:</b> It's amazing when you see old technology and how they did things back then<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b> I would imagine the owner is proud of his Vincent. Photos are humbling when you consider that was done to bring that bike to new condition. Hundreds of hours of restoration and I come along to snap a few photos in a matter of seconds.<br /><br /><b>Steel Cupcake:</b> I suppose I have learned to be more un-inhibited, with age, or perhaps with more familiarity with my blogging friends around the countryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-37032454447526111842011-09-05T12:06:46.801-07:002011-09-05T12:06:46.801-07:00Nice to know that donuts and cops go together ther...Nice to know that donuts and cops go together there as well as they do here. However, I thought it was Tim Horton's that was the myth. ;) Statue mimicking was cute. I think you should have mimicked the hats too. heheBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-46716714023692908282011-09-05T11:46:43.082-07:002011-09-05T11:46:43.082-07:00Beautiful pictures of that bike Bobskoot.Beautiful pictures of that bike Bobskoot.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-84605129917843313702011-09-05T09:16:31.309-07:002011-09-05T09:16:31.309-07:00Beautiful bike.

But I would not trade an old Vincent for much of anything, I guess if I needed a kidney it might be fair, but that's about what they cost. Very cool bike, but I don't think I'll ever be able to have one, sad as it may be.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />http://www.behindbarsmotorcycle.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-80585634097565760362011-09-03T08:05:19.400-07:002011-09-03T08:05:19.400-07:00Dear Bobskoot:

A friend of mine recently acquired a Black Shadow in very good shape, and now he is going the extra nine yards. He has the price of a kid's medical school tuition tied up in this. <br /><br />I'm delighted you got a chance to see this one up close. Did you get a ride?<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-35047242816892832092011-09-03T07:18:40.218-07:002011-09-03T07:18:40.218-07:00Definitely a work of art, these Vincents...costly ...Definitely a work of art, these Vincents...costly but beautiful.<br /><br />I really like the instrument cluster!<br /><br />thanks for the pics Bob.<br /><br />Hmmm, wonder if anyone ever hung a sidecar on a Vincent?

Thank you for posting more pictures. The effort put in by the original craftsmen is incredible, they turn oil lines into artwork. <br /><br />BTW, how's the foot?<br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
