A friend of mine growing up years ago back in the Midwest, had a Dad who had two Vincents, an Ariel, and several Harleys, and lord knows what else, as he was a major hoarder. I remember not being particularly impressed with any of them at our age (maybe 10-13), as we were more into BMX bikes, but over the years after getting my first Harley, and learning more about the Vincent mystique, the more fascinated I grew with these two old Vincents. I tried several times to see about buying or swapping for them, but was always told no. My friend's dad died recently and he dragged them out of the dirt floor lean to where they had been for 30 or more years, and hauled them out to his place. I've heard that they are so far gone now that they probably can't be saved. So it made me wonder how many of you guys were second generation Vincent owners, and if you were, would you hold onto them even if you couldn't do anything with them?
