[QUOTE="Cannop, post: 121669, member: 4663"] I've always been a fan of the marque, ever since my schooldays. Back then my physics teacher owned a Comet which was a non runner stored in a number of tea crates in his garage. I pestered him for three years to sell it to me but of course he never did. When I left school I had a succession of Triumphs, BSA's, Royal Enfields even a Velocette and Matchless but never graduated to a Vincent. I'm currently riding a BMW R1200RLC but I've never forgotten the yearning I had for that comet! I'm hoping to be in the market for the larger v twin in a year or two so I thought I'd better start boning up on what is desirable in the way of modifications and what the common problems are. I've a whole lot of learning to do! Of course before I can seriously start looking there's the fact I've got to find the perfect house for the wife with the perfect garage/workshop/storage for me. A minor detail! [/QUOTE]
