Hello,
French motocycle enthusiast, 58 years old, living near Paris.
I do not own a Vincent H.R.D. at the moment but looking to buy one (a Comet).
My interest in the marque dates back to the early 1990s when I first met Patrick Godet. I then owned a 1954 Series C Black Shadow and an Egli Vincent for several years.
Charisma, engineering excellence, a strong following are for me some of the qualities of the marque.
I love to travel by bike, all by myself (been twice to Morocco before the Covid19 episode with my 701 Husqvarna, riding through the Atlas mountains, the sand dunes and to the Atlantic ocean, and then back to Paris).
Will a Comet take me there ? A trip to the Alps or to Brittany seems more realistic (and maybe as exciting) but who knows ?
Kind regards
Jean-Christophe
