[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 19031, member: 99"] Bill, Forty years ago I had my only prang on a Vincent, touch wood. It was near Watford. A Ford Anglia pulled out from a cart track right in front of me. I pulled on the front brake so hard I buckled both brake plates. It was not enough. I hit the front wing and flew into the air. I actually saw the bike somersauting beneath me. I landed on my head, fortunately with Everoak helmet. As I staggered to my feet a man got out of a Ford Anglia. I swung a punch at him and passed out. I came to in the Peace Memorial Hospital in Watford. A little shy man was sitting by my bed crumpling his trilby hat. "I'm the man you hit," he said apologetically. "but I'm not the man that hit you. That was a different Ford Anglia." [/QUOTE]
