[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 27130, member: 1632"] Peter, Please take solace in the fact that you are not alone in being annoyed / irritated / infuriated / down right angry , pick one that you feel best applies to you as they all apply to me when I read those kind of advertisements. The only reason I can offer for individuals making such incorrect or mis-leading statements to is cover themselves should someone who is not versed in Vincent facts purchase their machine and realize they have been duped and bring legal action. Then they can say they never hid the fact that it is a Rapide upper frame member with a Comet engine. Though here in Michigan when you register your vehicle the engine number is of no significance, only the frame number matters. I've done a number of title searches for motorcycles I've bought and rebuilt and the police officer who has arrived to confirm my vehicle identification number (vin) has only ever checked the frame number never the engine number. But I agree it is irritating to read those advertisements. Just take a deep breath and move on and hope no one falls for their subterfuge. all the best Steven [/QUOTE]
