[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 47490, member: 59"] When I first started riding my Comet I met an old gent who said a friend of his had ridden a Vincent in the film. A few years later the South London Section did some fund-raising to buy a communication device for a wheelchair bound ex-owner who had ridden his bike in the film. I always assumed that they were the same person. Only a rider in the film could say if he still owns the bike and in thirty odd years of D ownership I've only met a couple of owners who had bought new and none who owned up to being a Thought Police Trooper. The filmed bikes did not have identifiable numbers and were fitted with some modified parts to look different from standard. Do any of these Thought Police parts still exist? How many Vincents, of any model, are still owned and ridden by their original buyers? [/QUOTE]
