[QUOTE="Shadowman, post: 53399, member: 162"] It starts easily and rides well, despite the appearance it doesn't leak oil. The lights could do with attention, they are still 6v and not very bright or reliable which is why I keep bicycle diode lights in the tool box and mounts for them on the handlebar and rear frame. The bicycle light is brighter than the headlight! I'm surprised nobody has commented on the home made air filter which was put on a few years ago by a friend to stop it shooting flames before I 'did' the engine. One night at a pub meet it backfired through the carb which caught light. The person who had borrowed it for a year had to run into the pub and get a wet bar towel to put it out. Still rode it home and soon after had the carb refurbished. He said they still talk about the Vincent that caught fire in the car park. [/QUOTE]
