When I was a young bloke, father and son duo, Eric and Ron Nicoll campaigned Vincents in their road racing outfits here in Western Australia. They sounded amazing with the megaphone exhausts, long before noise was considered an issue. Ahhh, the memories of methanol and castor.

If the bike has been sitting a long time, I'm not sure I'd have revved it up as high as he did when first starting it. Also, why was it backfiring thru the carbs (Amal's?)?
@453421abcdefg12345

The fact that it was smoking like that indicates they have just dragged it out of a barn and reved the nuts off it, at least he checked to see if the oil was returning, but this is not a good way to treat a bike that has been sleeping for many years.
@peterg2yt

The smoke is almost certainly caused by ‘wet sumping’. Oil seeps down into the crankcase past the oil pump so when first started you get the billows of smoke from the exhaust. My 52 Rapide was the same after a winter lay-up. Cured 100% by the late-great Patrick Godet fitting a new oil pump. The smoke can be minimised by draining the crankcase before starting. It looks like they didn’t do that.
