yep I'm with dave 1000cc vincent, looks fairly standard under the few modern add ons. the front brake was pretty fancy stuff by the standard of its day, rear suspension looks stock and I dont blame the owner for adding indicators. read a tale about them years ago where the factory sent their test rider out and he used the bike hard for a full year, put 100,000 miles on it and 80,000 of them it was lugging a chair, when the factory stripped the engine they found no significant wear.

Got to clean the conservatory windows tomorrow - the buggers have crapped on them again. And I know it's pigeons, they sit on the roof across the road then attack as soon as I've gone in

Hope you and Gill are keeping well๐ We're fine Dave, just fed up stuck at home, like most people. Had hoped to get on the bikes for a hospital appointment tomorrow, but that's gone virtual now too, he's going to do it over the phone . Just hope when this is over, there's a bit of the summer left for us to get on the bikes & come & meet up with you lot
