[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 13075, member: 161"] If you are looking for an entertaining read with lots of Vincent background see if you can get a copy of Phil Irving's biography. It is out of print but you might be able to beg, borrow or steal one. Here's a review someone posted on amazon. "In Phils easy to read, yet interesting and informative, writing style we are given an insight into his very active life. Phils knowledge and experience in the motorcycle industry in Australia and in the United Kingdom from the 1920's to the 50's is unbelievable. If you love The Vincent HRD, you can only love this book. Phil also has a fair bit to do with AJS, Velocette and other motor bikes in the glory days of British motorcycles. PEI was a very talented motorcycle engineer who also worked with racing motor cars getting an Australian onto the world champions podium. Phil made his writings on engineering readable and interesting to the non engineer. Phil didn't suffer fools and you will not be a fool to read this book and I'm sure your knowledge will be considerably enhanced when you complete it." Regards, Eddy. [/QUOTE]
