Hi, Just thought i'd make an introduction though i'm likely to be doing more learning and lurking than offering much in the way of anything positive.
Recovery from recent back surgery has made me re-evaluate a few things. I have a few bikes, mainly BSA/Triumph but at present I can't get the majority of them on their centre stands. The fact that i'm not able to ride them at present has made me bite the bullet and if I can't enjoy then I may as well let someone else... so i'm selling a few. I hope however that this will not be a permanent thing and that in 6 months or so i'm able to ride again.
I've always harboured a desire to at least try a Vincent so I can see what all the fuss is about. I don't know a lot about them and they've always been that bit beyond my reach even when i was younger, such that i've always been BSA/Triumph/AJS/Norton really. I couldn't tell a Comet footrest from a Rapide so i'm hoping to learn a bit and I guess this is the right place to learn - after all mistakes seem to come pretty expensive on a Vincent.
So, in a few months I hope to be looking for one - and as such am I right in guessing that the best place to find one that is right, is within the club?
Any other advice for a newbie/wannabe ... other than don't?
