[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 36095, member: 456"] The way that I see it there are those who are totally new to the world of Vincents and need some help to guide them towards 'Know thy Beast' etc. Then there are others who are just too damn idle to look it up. If that is the case then they are almost certainly too idle to do the job properly. What continually surprises me is the number of people who seem prepared to buy a 60 year old bike and who have little or no mechanical knowledge. Perhaps they are the ones who regularly require the services of the 'Get you home' break down services and perhaps they also provide a regular source of income to the Vincent rebuilders!! Whatever the circumstance, they almost certainly cannot get the same pleasere of ownership and riding as those of us who know what is happening inside those shiny cases and who know where the rattles are coming from.
