Does the rider take his foot off the peg to press down with his heel?
Using this site to access all the Vincent & hrd photos is not immediately obvious.
There are about 10 pages of Vincent photos.
On the top RHS go to "Media Per Page" which enables you to vary the number of photos per page from 6 upwards.
Just below that "Media Per Page" is a string of numbers such as "8 9 10" which shows you that you are on page 10 because only '10' is in ITALICS.
At LHS and RHS of the string of numbers is an arrowhead symbol < and >.
Click on one of these to move to a lower or higher page number, or just click on the page number you want.
Obvious once you know how! Others may have found better methods of using this site.
The only way to get hold of a top quality copy, as far as I know, is to order and buy a good print.
If you start providing hints now, you might just get what you want for your birthday present.
Some of them are marvellous.
My favourite is Harold Taylor's JYT 159 - what a machine!
Giving in to a wet Easter Bananaman and I spent some time on the picture of Harold Taylors ISDT outfit

Now we saw the sprocket on the widened front wheel and the brake and gear change on the same side (Didn't the German team protest that Harold with one leg had an advantage because he could mount the sidecar nearer the bike?) We also noticed his crutch laying across the seat and spare wheel, the sidecar speedo( driven from the sidecar wheel?) and a few other interesting items.
But what stumped us was the device on the timing cover tucked in behind the rear exhaust and serviced by what appears to be two bowden cables, what is it?

Not too clear when zoomed in but it looks to have a dark area that might possibly be a site glass. Could it be something to give extra oil like some of the vintage bikes had. The oil tank on my Sunbeam had a tube inside the tank that had a cable operated piston to give the engine an extra shot of oil. If it is an oiler it could be to to give the chain a good dose of oil.
