[QUOTE="flxible, post: 159922, member: 998"] Hi Robert- The same type of experience must have unfolded in many forms throughout the Vincent world. For me it was right after first getting my Vincent home, and before getting it together. (the first time...) An older friend of my brother's in the next town (whom I did not know) heard about my acquisition, he'd been a long time owner in years past, and kindly gifted me his old Rider's Manual, (I didn't even know a manual existed at that point, but I still have it) and said something similar- ".. back when I had mine, there was this Harley guy in town who really wanted to beat me, and he'd come looking for me every time he got himself a new H-D, and we'd go up to old Route 8, [it had some very long straights] we blasted on up the road, an this time he really hung right with me, and when we hit a hundred he was still right there, grinning ear to ear, an that's when I dropped her in fourth. Never saw him again after that." Sounded like gospel at the time, and so remains lodged in my lore of the marque. Best- George [/QUOTE]
