[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 97849, member: 302"] I am not sure what it is, I think my good friend Hugo Myatt got the closest to describing it when he made a wonderful speech at our wedding in Cornwall 12 years ago, I think he referred to it as a terrible affliction, an illness. If we simply enjoyed riding motorcycles I am sure we would ride something more modern and reliable, and something that did not need constant modifications to get rid inherent faults or deficiencies, I could start listing them, but it would be a long list. I was brought back down to earth whilst exchanging emails with a friend living in NZ, he was saying that having moved from Nelson to Invercargill he will have to start looking for some new friends and riding buddies, I said get yourself a Vincent and you would not be short of either, his reply was, I would have to be a bit bloody desperate to ride one of those things! No accounting for taste is there. [/QUOTE]
