[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 41721, member: 161"] Dear Steve, I have been lucky to have the loan of my brother's BMW RT for a few months while he was enjoying some milder weather in Spain. The RT has been great to use, especially while it has been so cold but I've missed riding the Vincent. I'm looking forward to when the ice and snow has cleared and getting back out on the Rapide. Then, like you, I'll listen to and enjoy that Vincent twin sound. I also agree that the Vincent twin clutch is really light and controllable when set up correctly. [I]"My Shadow is nearly totally original, and the stock clutch is sooo nice, very little effort to disengage compared to the Honda clutch conversion I have in the Comet, and I can really feather it out when engaging it for pulling away from a stop. And the sound of the twin, just listening to it after all this time was so enjoyable."[/I] [/QUOTE]
