[QUOTE="Graeme Langford, post: 133691, member: 4911"] A big hello to everyone. I have been a long time fan of the Vincent. A school friends father, this is back in the early 70's owned a couple of Vincents. Too long ago to remember exactly what they where for sure. From memory one was an HRD, another a Rapide, a Black Shadow and what would have been a Prince or a Knight. There was another chap local to us that drag raced a Lightning engined monster. He was quite happy letting us sit on the bike and dream. I have not ridden a motorcycle in must be at least 10 years but I quite fancy scratching an itch that has never been scratched. Being completely honest I am not much good with my hands. Very basic maintenance I can cope with but delving into the bowels of the machine would be way above my ability. My thought is to go for a Black Shadow or a C Rapide. It will be a a fair weather summer bike and the missus will be along for the ride. Any reason not to go for a Black Shadow ? p.s. the first bike I rode probably aged 14 was an NSU Quickly. Never knew there was a Vincent connection [/QUOTE]

Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
