[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 79772, member: 597"] The only reason I did not win more races than I could have is simply because I was not a good enough rider, I know the bike was far more capable than me. I did not set out to win trophies at shows with the racer, I am not interested in trophies, I was interested in building a fast "All Vincent racer" not a Vincent engine in a foreign frame, and one that hopefully would not get into a dire speed wobble and throw me off. To say I achieved that is an understatement, that is a far bigger achievement to me than building some hybrid. I have nothing against Norvin's at all, I just feel that making an original frame Vincent that goes, stops and handles well is a win for the Vincent name full stop. Lets not change the thread too much...........This is about improving the front end on Vincent's not comparing whose bike is better.........I already know the answer hands down to that one. [/QUOTE]
