The photo on the Vincent.com is of Tim Cameron of BC, Canada.

It does not look anything like this now, but here is a photo of the current owner which ties things together.

Chris rides to most of the rallies. He was in Minnesota this past year. Chris is on the Forum also.

When Dave Hansen of Langlitz Leathers 1st bought this bike from Tim, I thought I'd ride it back to Portland, Oregon for him.. Or so I thought! I got to Tacoma and had to let somebody else ride the rest of the way! It was absolutely torture with that set up. The bike really handled, but the seat, foot pegs and clip ons were sheer death on a trip! Tim was a one of a kind great guy!

What does it sound like with that Fishtail muffler on it ..............?

Let's have the history of Brookland cans was it for sound or performance ?

 

[david bowen]

Pat Mc Iver raced his HRD TTR at Brooklands in the 1930s with a Brookland can and lapped at 108 MPH.

Wasn't the brooklands can the silencer fitted to the two road going factory flashes that were sold ? (asked he with a replica with a v5c)

As with most bikes with this sort of set up, probably great up to the age of 21, sort of OK till you get to 30, after that forget it. I made a huge mistake when I purchased a Ducati 750S because I thought it looked nice, 10 miles of riding was about tops so beautiful or not she had to go.

I rode a friends Goldie a couple of years ago for 8 miles with my fingertips on the bars, it now has standard bars and can be ridden all day long.

Yes, Touring Gold Star is the only way to go, if you want a Gold Star that is.

The road going Grey flashes were built in the works, not in the lightning dept. and had standard silencers quite a few standard race Flashes were built there
