One month after the first early spring ride we ride again. The trees are covered in new leaves and the road looks stunning. The Vincent sounds amazing as it flies along.
Amazing, much better than any sleep therapy to destress. Wonderful sound and experience!

To appreciate the sound more use headphones or a JBL unit. A Hi Fi system works the best with good speakers. Cheers.

Lovely roads, all clean and tidy, nary a pot hole in sight. Where this beautiful beast came from, sad to say, your looking out for potholes more than watching the traffic, and the traffic is horrendous. You have a bit of British engineering from a time when Britain could be proud, it is irreplaceable as Britain has now lost it's way.

We are lucky in this part of South Africa the roads and countryside are pretty neat. Bought the Vincent thirty years ago, restored it twenty eight years ago and it has stood the test of time ever since. Sorry too hear Britain has lost its way. I have noticed over the last decade some bad news about the state of some smaller towns and the financial struggles of some older folk. Those problems tend to presist.

Must agree with you, that combination of cars, runners, cyclists and the odd troop of baboons on a road with no verge makes for potentially dangerous situations indeed.

When I bought the Vincent the engine was painted black. The specifications on this motor is better than the standard Shadow engine. Black does look good though. The bike is a Rapide hence the unpainted motor.

Hello Phil, kind regards from the Rhine River to South Africa. I'm a German filmaker - a fried of mine is rebuilding a Vincent HRD 1000. I'll do the pictures and make the movie. My question: Could we use for the preview of this project some of your sounds? This will be very helpful. Of course we'll say (and write) where those sounds are from. (I think it's better asking than stealing...)

It is impossible to be bored riding these old bikes. More power is nice I am sure but maybe it is like a drug, you need more and more power and speed otherwise it to can become boring.
