Going to the VOC Rally in Montana in 2016 we came across a little town called Sturgis in it was a motorcycle museum in there was a sad looking '52Vincent Black Shadow that had been well used complete with an aborted flexible exhaust system.
Displayed on the bike was a plaque giving the usual guff and ending with the note
ON LOAN FROM LEO SPLINTER SOUTH DAKOTA.
If this is a HOG riders view of the best V twin its not the most enticing one and certainly not the one in Thompson's song - or is it? whats the story?

Quite agree, it was shabby along with the Comet that was there. I got the numbers for Simon, one of which was overstamped.
