    If I had 30K I'd be buying it myself, I might let you call around and polish it though

    Don't know

    who owns it, but I often see a Vincent , A v twin one, going thru the manawatu gorge when I am doing my daily commute top work. Looks like he is doing the same but in the opposite direction. Can not be many vincents doing commuter duties around any more!

    new ones not the same

    apart from missing the third wheel, it might be reliable. whats the fun in that.
    Nothing like the madness of persevering with old shit. Its nice seeing this old stuff still being used properly, out getting dirty and rained on.
    That comet was very perty and has the magic third wheel! A better investment than shares and stocks

    Live your life in such a way,

    Satan shudders & says....'Oh shit!....she's awake!!'
