We would like to thank everyone who attended the 2008 North AMerican Rally in Colorado for making this event so much fun. We had 160 people registered for the event with 56 Vincents presenting themselves for the showing in Central City and approximately 75 Vincents in all. The weather held out to make our daily runs picture perfect and the evenings were spent socializing and making new friends. We would like to thank our sponsors and raffle prize contributors for making this rally a sucess. We would also like to give a huge "Thank You" to all our helpers who without all their hard work we would not have been able to pull this off.

Sorry Peter but my B isn't a Shadow but a black cased B Rapide, and the Grey Flasher really has been known as the Grey FlUsh for many years!! Ah well. It was all good fun

I know, I know, fooled a couple of people, but I did it purely as a replica (sort of) with a bike that is probably made up from 10 or more machines. Cases, covers,frames, cycle parts from all over. It is my attempt at "Onedownsmanship"!

Watch out for JRO 100 coming from S Cal!
