"In my opinion there is nothing in this world...

...Like a '52 Vincent and a red-headed girl "

 

I certainly thought that way in the summer of '63

A good day today and starting to breathe again. Might even   get back to the hils after all - eventually.

    I rebuilt a 1952 pre-unit Bonneville and went round the TT circuit on it. magic.
    The Vincent is nice and so's the red head.

      Big British Bikes !
      In town before Christmas there was a small crowd of greasers gathered round an Ariel Sqare 4. A beast of a machine!

    Hmmm As long as you're not giving any bikes away, this sounds like good news!
    Beautiful looking machine, that.

    It was the first production road bike with a (quite enormous) speedo calibrated to 150mph.

    The stuff of which legends are made!

      And of course, in them days those kind of speeds were legal on the public highway.
      Especially the Donnie Bypass !
