[QUOTE="broski, post: 35052, member: 2758"] Cheers lads for replying! Howard- what a great idea, but you know what? Im scared to do just that. Why? Because the more and more I have read on this subject- bearing in mind I only started off needing it for the book- the more I am salivating and getting excited about the marque. If I went along to a meeting that would be the end of my will power.. lol,. Thanks for the idea though and Im sure i would have met a great bunch at such a meet. Alb- some great stuff in there emate, just what i was after. So much do I like the idea of it being a Black Shadow (a name which has an aura of its own!) that I think I will adjust the story around it. Rather than pootling round the Cotswolds I will adjust the scenarios. As regards the cost of one- this in fact fits ideal with half an idea as to how he came to get the bike in the first place. His wife - knowing how much he drooled over the bike, inherits an aunts house and rather than sensibly spend it on their own house she spends it all on buying it for him. God- if a woman did that for me I would keep her forever too. Indeed I am looking rather resentfully at mine now and wondering why..... heheehe only joking. Found a good article and image which were useful [URL]http://images.motorcycle-usa.com/PhotoGallerys/88352Untitled-6.jpg[/URL] and [URL="http://searcht2.aol.co.uk/aol/imageDetails?s_it=imageDetails&q=vincent+black+shadow&v_t=client-sbox&b=image%3Fs_it%3Dclient-sbox%26query%3Dvincent%2520black%2520shadow%26oreq%3D77a543d37e564b998d4679c173e61d8e&img=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.motorcycle-usa.com%2FPhotoGallerys%2F88352Untitled-6.jpg&host=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorcycle-usa.com%2F19%2F872%2FMotorcycle-Article%2F2007-Vincent-Black-Shadow-First-Ride.aspx&width=120&height=90&thumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fimages-partners-tbn.google.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcR5sqwJKi4v77_r0sVdjH4DyA4KbamxBQKS6POEoacXmG12br7v_oHdCQ&imgWidth=1024&imgHeight=768&imgSize=85180&imgTitle=vincent+black+shadow"]http://searcht2.aol.co.uk/aol/imageDetails?s_it=imageDetails&q=vincent+black+shadow&v_t=client-sbox&b=image%3Fs_it%3Dclient-sbox%26query%3Dvincent%2520black%2520shadow%26oreq%3D77a543d37e564b998d4679c173e61d8e&img=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.motorcycle-usa.com%2FPhotoGallerys%2F88352Untitled-6.jpg&host=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorcycle-usa.com%2F19%2F872%2FMotorcycle-Article%2F2007-Vincent-Black-Shadow-First-Ride.aspx&width=120&height=90&thumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fimages-partners-tbn.google.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcR5sqwJKi4v77_r0sVdjH4DyA4KbamxBQKS6POEoacXmG12br7v_oHdCQ&imgWidth=1024&imgHeight=768&imgSize=85180&imgTitle=vincent+black+shadow[/URL] What a feat that was to build a bike from your own spares company!
