[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 122605, member: 60"] I have been doing MCC events since I was invited to do a long distance trial when competing at Silverstone in 1965 (I am still at it and hoping in 3 weeks that I can get entry for the next one in the main trials class) I used to often ride with Ron Kemp one year he did it on his Grey Flash all he changed from Silverstone trim was his tyres and handlebars he got astronomical mileage from his TT carb,and being Ron he got an award in both events!. Nowadays there is a class R for road bikes and cars all tarmac and tests. Last year I did not have a suitable bike so for a change I was navigator and Angela drove my tin box Mereva FWD and thats as gray porridge as you can get we did class R and we only failed one climb (all sections tarmac) I think would have done it OK on a road Comet. Doing it on a Vincent would follow in the footsteps of the great I have a program from 1933 Lands end Trial and we have No 35 Tingle R F, No36 Clark W, No 37 Vincent P C, all together on 499 Vincent HRD bikes so it looks like a factory entry (and a certain G Brough on one of his Bitsas in the sidecar class) [/QUOTE]
