[QUOTE="flashvin, post: 159643, member: 193"] No Barrbell pattern rubbers. #14 currently shows a crusty old worn pair of std foot peg rubbers. New John Bull Barbell pattern shown in the pic are to hand just not deployed on the machine. Norman Curnow owned #14 in the mid 70's and when he heard from John Marshall machine registrar at the annual rally that the machine had originally been a police bike he wrote to the Hertfordshire police and recieved quite an enthusiastic response which he wrote up an article published in MPH 288 Jan 1975. The police sent him 2 5X7 photo's showing an officer on the machine from both sides. According to Norman prior to his ownership it was last used on the road by a Mr. L. Ryall. Being In touch with Norman recently he recalls purchasing the machine from a "pig farmer" who also had purchased the Vincent 3 wheeler. This would have been sometime in the late 60's early 70's. Norman was quite active in Vincents and rode them hard and for great distances moving onto to Ducati bevel drives and then becoming a passionate trans atlantic sailor and racer with his own boat. By the 1980's i#14 had found its way to Conway Motors under Chas Guys ownership. It then passed to Hugh Hall in the USA. Then it traveled east to its current garage. It is the current owners all time favorite Vincent to ride. A quick one as well. Still in std. tune with orig carbs . [/QUOTE]
