[QUOTE="Prince Duster, post: 55510, member: 154"] Hi all. Just back from the IoM last night. It was a great result – most of the entries were new bikes, of course, assembled from parts from outside suppliers. Godet’s entries were built by him and his team from the ground up, over the past year. I understand rider Bruno Leroy’s 14th place qualifies him for a Silver Replica. According to David Wright's 'Vincent HRDs and The Isle of Man' the Roger Slater 500 Egli-Vincent entry in the 1971 TT, with Roger Wittich on board, qualified to race with a 90mph lap. But weather delays meant the team could not compete. So, I think Bruno's is the fastest official lap time for any Vincent powered motorcycle. It was wonderful Fritz and his son were there to see the result too. First visit to the Island for both of them; Fritz Snr was a justifiably proud man to see such an effort and result. He commuted around the Island in the chair of Patrick’s Black Prince outfit. David Lancaster [/QUOTE]
