[QUOTE="Rapide998, post: 536, member: 217"] Hi Stuart. Made a few changes to my thread about the bid for the black shadow in case it was taken the wrong way, as it wasn't meant the way it did appear .:eek::D Read your bit about getting your dads bike back from OZ, it was great stuff, I know exactly how you feel riding your vincent as I also ride my Dads Rapide, I've taken it over many of the roads he once rode when I was a young boy sitting in the sidecar, it lay in his loft for 30 odd years and after spending pretty much 2 years rebuilding it, the day I started it up was quite an emotional moment for us both with the Rapide sitting there barking after such a long time silent. So the Vincent is very much a part of our family. My Father is still very much a Vincent man and a member of the Voc although ill health doesn't allow him to ride anymore but he still gets great pleasure in listening to his bike and looking at it, I will usually bring him over to my place to "help me" when I'm working on the Vin, of course he usually ends up "keeping me right" as usual :rolleyes: perhaps meet you some day at one of the rallys. take care Regards Ken.
