[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 97034, member: 1632"] I can't recall which of the Vincent books I have, has a few pictures of this in it. But I always wondered how the engine was started, particularly if not used for racing. It always seemed a bit impractical to me to rely on a passenger or passerby for a push start and a bit awkward to have to lift the tail section every time. Plus what a bother if you stall at a light. But now with the all the electric start options available for twins I think it would make a neat little run about / sport racer. But I suppose the powers that be would have such a plethora of requirements before it would be allowed on the road, that it would never make even if built in kit form let alone standard production. Oh well, it's still pretty neat. Steven [/QUOTE]
