Hi There!
Thank you for the reach out! Live from San Francisco. I am 56 with two grown boys out of the house and a wife who is indulgent of my vintage motorcycle obsession.
I am daily riding a '67 BMW R69S and I am in the process of selling my ground up restored (not by me) '69 Triumph Bonneville to make room for a Series B or C Rapide. I love the smooth craftsmanship of a BMW and the flair and sound of a Triumph..I think a Vincent will a perfect next rider. Looking for a Rapide in terrific condition (mechanically and cosmetically) as I am learning my motorcycle maintenance and spend about .5hrs cleaning my bike(s) seemingly for every hour of riding.
I have only been riding for 3 years as a '78 Vespa turned out to be a "gateway drug" to a motorcycle. Love to do vintage rides and have done the Moto Melee (800 miles) and Northern California TT (450 miles) in the last two years. Planning a vintage ride (socially distanced) around Big Sur California as we are blessed with wonderful rugged Pacific Ocean cliffs to ride around.
Probably too much for now
Warm Regards,
Mark
