[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 93203, member: 161"] I have several modern bikes that have excellent handling, good brakes and more than enough performance. I enjoy riding them. I have a Vincent Rapide that I also enjoy riding. All my bikes provide a different riding experience. I also enjoy making improvements to all my machines. I agree that we all should try to ride according to our brakes and road conditions. The problem is that other drivers on the road may not always be doing the same. In cases like this I like to think that I will have enough stopping power to have a chance of avoiding an accident. I doubt that riders of older motorcycles will ever have the stopping ability of a modern 4 wheel vehicle with ABS braking etc. I think that increased stopping power on our old vehicles will usually be advantageous and improve our chances of survival. Just my view too.;) [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
