[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 55820, member: 1632"] Matching numbers don't make them run any better. Matching numbers are just icing on the cake to my mind. I'm fortunate in that both of my Vincents are matching numbers bikes. I don't give a fig if the numbers on someones bike match or not. When my father bought the Shadow in '78 he only cared that the numbers on the bike matched the numbers on the title. When I bought the Comet I don't think I even asked or Lanivets in Cornwall even mentioned if it was a matching numbers bike. The only number I cared about was the price. I suppose if I ever get fortunate enough to buy another or unfortunate enough to need to sell then I might care, a little. But until then.......let's ride! Steven [/QUOTE]
