My 7th Mid-life Crisis dictated that I had to buy this.

Still a slow slug by modern standards, but a bit of a laugh nonetheless..........

I have been a complete wus and SORN'ed it at the moment until the weather improves (I only want to tax it for 6 months.....)

Yep, I'm a "V-Twin" fan through and through - Guzzi's, Ducati's, Aprilia's, Hardly-Able-to's, and who would not love a Vincent: or better still a Nor-Vin.

Sorry, is Moto Guzzi better. Funny the Coronet got called a Mk 3 Zodiac the other day.

MMMMmmmmm..............Zodiac..................Cooooooollllllllll

For the Uninitiated, the CX was nicknamed the "Plastic Maggot".....I think that says it all. Nothing beats Italian styling........

Pete, did you ever have a look at the place down the road from you that used to do the Egli-Vincent replicas, bit pricey but absolute V twin porn! They used to be at Buntingford but a quick google has revealed they are now stalking you as I type! http://www.jmcclassics.com/contact.htm

I've just had a Trouser moment!!

I wonder if that is Roydon's mate - I know he has a couple of Vincents, as you do............

I'm surprised you weren't aware of them Pete, I found them by chance a few years ago when they were at Buntingford, I needed some fixings for a job I was doing in locally & there was a supplier on the same industrial estate so I called in for a look as you do, they were really friendly & chatty, showing me around the workshop & telling me all about their work, even though I had pointed out that I was not likely to be a customer unless I won the lottery.
