[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 136997, member: 1683"] l think Vibrac is bang on the money; as PEI stated in his book motorcycle engineering; we only had thirty years of design experience to work with so it follows that after all these years many design and engineering solutions have evolved and make yesteryears construction seem questionable. ln my opinion back in the day the Vincent was the very best motorcycle available both in construction and aesthetic appeal but like all things times change and new solutions come along. Personally l think if you want incredible performance, fantastic braking and amazing handling etc just go buy a new modern bike, if you want a slice of motorcycle history then a Vincent is simply the best, but there's nowt wrong with enhancing the basic machine. Must close now, the grandkids say its dinner time so l am going to get in my high chair ready to be fed, happy days!! [/QUOTE]
