[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 24564, member: 586"] There is some "imaginative" writing in the book "Vincent in the barn" regarding the "Vietnam" Vincent. I think it is fairly safe to state the real Vietnam bike is in Australia and its owner has recently written some informative articles about it. As far as this "Montlhery" machine is concerned I think it could be best described as a "replica". It concerns me that new "facts" and "truths" are appearing on a regular basis and the transfer of vast amounts of money can cement them. As Mr Harris is an "attorney" we had best be careful in our choice of words and stick to irrefutable facts rather than subjective assumptions :-) Thanks Peter for some good detective work. [/QUOTE]
