[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 133187, member: 456"] The world of Vincents is a strange one. A week or so I got an email from one of our Canada based friends with the photograph of the front of a Vincent with the question "did the number plate mean anything to me? Indeed it did. It was the number of the first Vincent I ever owned back in about 1957. I looked out some photographs to ensure that my memory was not failing me and sure enough there was a picture of a fresh faced young chap sat on the bike at my place of work. I sent a copy of the picture to our Canada based friend who then informed me that it was no longer a Shadow but was now a Comet. ??? It turns out that sometime in the intervening 64 years someone has had a massive blow up and destroyed the original Shadow engine. For your amusement I will attach a photo of me on the bike as none of you have ever seen me before. [ATTACH type="full"]39666[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
