<blockquote data-quote="Graham Smith" data-source="post: 138312"><p><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>The Rider's Roll of Honour was the idea of our Club’s founder, Alan Jackson. Of course, the Club has Honorary Members, celebrated for their various contributions to the world of Vincents and the Club, but this very select group cannot encompass everyone who has done something of note.</strong></span></p><hr /><p>[ATTACH=full]49610[/ATTACH]</p><p>Alan’s idea was to try and gather together a list of the riders whose riding exploits, over the years, have built up into the legend of the Vincent.</p><p></p><p>This list appeared in June 1988 (<em>MPH</em>473), with a few additions appearing in March 1990 (<em>MPH</em>494), together with some advice on the criteria used. The Roll runs to over 80 names, and thus is too long to be regularly repeated in <em>MPH</em>, in the way that Honorary Members are listed every issue. For this reason, it has received little publicity over the years, and so the names, and their exploits, perhaps continue to fade. The objective of this series is to add a little more detail, where possible, to the brief comment accompanying the 1988 listing, and also to regenerate it in electronically held copy that could be more widely used, such as on a website.</p><p></p><p>Much of the Vincent legend was generated in the early years, when sporting use and record breaking was at its maximum. Two important criteria for the list are that it is strictly for riders, and that those rides should themselves have brought attention and respect to the marque. Thus even PCV does not feature, for, although the central character and driving force for the marque, his contribution was not of famous rides (or at least, no-one has yet researched any). Similarly, since the Vincent was built for touring, even quite extensive touring, which is a major modern use of the machines, is not of itself enough for inclusion. Nevertheless, there are examples in the list of outstanding riders, who have succeeded not only in enjoying the machine for its designed purpose, but also drawing the motorcycle world’s attention and contributing to the lustre of the marque – Stuart Jenkinson and Vinnylonglegs with over 1,000,000 km and still leading touring parties on this Series 'D' are a case in point.</p><p></p><p>Alan Jackson did a huge amount of work researching the majority of the listed riders, but he also had the benefit of having lived through the early post-war years when the Vincent legend was in formation. He could make judgements on whether names of the past played a significant part, either shining brightly for a short time, in a less bright but more sustained fashion, from his own experiences and recollections. I have only dusty magazines and reports to work with, so the entries alongside names cannot fully reflect the characters they describe – and any additional comment from Members who do remember, or have studied the carers would be welcome.</p><p></p><p>This list is correct as at July 2017.</p><p>Jacqueline Bickerstaff - Taken from <em>MPH</em>690, page 23.</p><p></p><p><strong><span

[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 138312"] [SIZE=5][B]The Rider's Roll of Honour was the idea of our Club’s founder, Alan Jackson. Of course, the Club has Honorary Members, celebrated for their various contributions to the world of Vincents and the Club, but this very select group cannot encompass everyone who has done something of note.[/B][/SIZE] [HR][/HR] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="254px" alt="rroh_certificate.jpg"]49610[/ATTACH] Alan’s idea was to try and gather together a list of the riders whose riding exploits, over the years, have built up into the legend of the Vincent. This list appeared in June 1988 ([I]MPH[/I]473), with a few additions appearing in March 1990 ([I]MPH[/I]494), together with some advice on the criteria used. The Roll runs to over 80 names, and thus is too long to be regularly repeated in [I]MPH[/I], in the way that Honorary Members are listed every issue. For this reason, it has received little publicity over the years, and so the names, and their exploits, perhaps continue to fade. The objective of this series is to add a little more detail, where possible, to the brief comment accompanying the 1988 listing, and also to regenerate it in electronically held copy that could be more widely used, such as on a website. Much of the Vincent legend was generated in the early years, when sporting use and record breaking was at its maximum. Two important criteria for the list are that it is strictly for riders, and that those rides should themselves have brought attention and respect to the marque. Thus even PCV does not feature, for, although the central character and driving force for the marque, his contribution was not of famous rides (or at least, no-one has yet researched any). Similarly, since the Vincent was built for touring, even quite extensive touring, which is a major modern use of the machines, is not of itself enough for inclusion. Nevertheless, there are examples in the list of outstanding riders, who have succeeded not only in enjoying the machine for its designed purpose, but also drawing the motorcycle world’s attention and contributing to the lustre of the marque – Stuart Jenkinson and Vinnylonglegs with over 1,000,000 km and still leading touring parties on this Series 'D' are a case in point. Alan Jackson did a huge amount of work researching the majority of the listed riders, but he also had the benefit of having lived through the early post-war years when the Vincent legend was in formation. He could make judgements on whether names of the past played a significant part, either shining brightly for a short time, in a less bright but more sustained fashion, from his own experiences and recollections. I have only dusty magazines and reports to work with, so the entries alongside names cannot fully reflect the characters they describe – and any additional comment from Members who do remember, or have studied the carers would be welcome. This list is correct as at July 2017. Jacqueline Bickerstaff - Taken from [I]MPH[/I]690, page 23.
