[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 8306, member: 4034"] [b]Value of a Vincent[/b] First "merchant banker" has been UK rhyming slang for "****er" for as long as i can remember. It's called "folk wisdom". It never errs. Given that by the time the bankers have trousered their bonuses, the interest they can pay on ones $50,000 wouldn't buy a packet of cornflakes, so what has one to lose by buying a Vincent to ride? Just how keen are you on cornflakes? Lucky enough to retire on 31/12/2008, just before the whole tottering edifice went tits-up, as anyone with an ounce of sense could see it would, I promptly "invested" - read "spent" - my money on "things". And "things" get you through times of no money better than money gets you through times of no things. Banknotes probably have a similar nutritional value, and not much less taste, than breakfast cereals, but neither brings joy to one's life the way a rideable Vincent does. [/QUOTE]
