Haven't got a photo of me ON a Vincent, but here I am with my sisters in 1953 NEXT to Dad's C Rapide - you can see the nose of the sidecar he designed and built himself. On the way to Cornwall I would stand with my head in the slipstream with the sidecar's canvas roof rolled back, wearing an old pair of Dad's goggles. Saw 93 mph on the clock across Bodmin Moor too - dad didn't hang about !!

My son's first picture on a Vincent. I was 26 the first time I sat on a Vin, and not as cute (He's inherited my lack of hair, and he plays Rugby now).

ps How do we make photos bigger?

My first motorbike (actually a 50cc moped), but it was mine. And impounded by the police because I was only 12 years old. Had the thing already for years...
The other one is my first Vincent, and the first time I started it myself in front of the house. The tank breather pipe A69 was not present and not blocked, so it was an oily business. As new Vin-owner it took me a while to find out what was happening! And yes, I knew it was not a Grey Flash...
Between those two motorised moments a lot of bikes and sidecars passed my hands...

I always put them on photobucket then post them here using the URL !!

May I bring your attention to Rule 1 in the Forum Rules :-
All posts must be written in English.

Photobucket? URL?

I think it's easier for me to put them in the photos section with a link. :)

I think I've got it now. I put them in a bucket and give them to Earl (spelt Url in Kent apparently). Does Earl give them to Graham Smith, and how does he make them bigger? It's all very confusing. ;)
