[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 158851"] Matthew Bibberman posted these photographs on Facebook that his father Big Sid took inside the Rally tent on October 2nd 1953 at the Vincent Motorcycle factory. Sid never forgot wandering around that tent. He emerged a changed man: nothing short of developing his own Vincent beyond Black Lightning specs would suffice. Little did he know that at that moment his Vincent was rotting in sewage water waiting for his return.
