[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 120702, member: 60"] I do understand where you are coming from but I dont want a 'modern vehicle' or more appropriate I already have such a thing (or two) I am happy with the basic design and characteristics of my old bikes and I enjoy non destructive modifications like electrics carburation suspension tires and ignition that only improve the rideability & reliability and like the elctric start will allow me to continue riding into my dotage. I have some 1920's machines and there is no chance of improving them much perhaps a belt drive change, an LED in the gas lamp but thats all. so there is a place for standard, but the two Phils have given us a vehicle that was made on machinery anyone nowadays has access to and were made in such a way that they can be modified, my Vincents are all non matching numbers have no historical significance and they are mine so why not? it can all be reversed to standard which in some cases is unfortunate (vinnylonglegs et al), and anyone who wants to can can put ao a hair shirt its called individual choice [/QUOTE]
