[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 37488, member: 2781"] As so often pointed out every Vincent , particularly with considerable mileage on it enc. occasional drag starts , high revs etc is uniquely different . And needs after close study and pondering attention suitable to access its needs . More serious maintenance than what we call a full restoration . This is a riders bike , not a posers machine or seeking the highest market value . The owner wants it ready for the road and with assurance that he can expect performance and reliability on the order of that delivered 50/60 years ago . Not today's OOooos and AAaasesss from the crowd of onlookers it draws today . He's a Vincent man , proud of what it delivers on the road and how it makes him feel when riding it . Thats the way it was way back then . Sid . [/QUOTE]
