Well when it comes to the 'us' regarding helping each other, most of the local Vincent owners over here offer their help willingly and freely to each other. Brian Chapman is a very good example of someone who was best in the world at the time and yet will happilly tell those, who are interested, what he did to tune the bikes. When it come to the 'us' who would like to know how to make a road bike exceed 150 mph then all if us who still have delusions of youth and speed. I think of it as learning at the feet of a master.
