  1. Great photos and good to hear you're on the mend.
    is ' Vincent' a nickname for one of your bikes or do you own one? As You don't strike me as being someone who doesn't do nicknames.

  2. Mrs 1952 put £5 on Trump at 9/1. So the misery of the result is slightly eased by having an unanticipated £45 to spend.

  6. I won't tell you my nickname then! Hahaha - yeah I'm lucky enough to have a 1952 Black Shadow - supplied new to a lovely old fella about an hour north of Amsterdam.First saw it 9/10 years ago and he flatly refused to talk about selling her but I kept in contact and finally ended up recently buying it (won't say for how much but it wasn't crazy €) It's one owner and totally unmolested right down to the torn seat which a horse bit! Originally planned a total nut n bolt resto but I detest trailer queens so it's what it is inc the seat!

  7. The lovely old Clog who I purchased my Vincent from is bang 1st on my Christmas card list (and his birthday!).He also owns a Brough Superior,Facel Vega,Lotus Elan plus 2 and a mint Citroen DS Convertible all of which are not for sale? But you never know???
     
  8. My mate phoned me today, to tell me he'd just made love to Taylor Swift in Blackpool.

    Then he got thrown out of Madame Tussauds

  10. Yeah and quire a rare bit of kit? Think it's got Yank V8 power unit? The paintwork is flat as a witches tit but it's all there and he religiously turns the engine over about every 6/8 weeks as he does with all his cars and bikes.He is such a lovely old gent and I made him a solemn promise then shook his hand that I wouldn't flip the Vincent for a quick profit.I won't go back on my word either
     
  11. yea sure,, how much for the Black Shadow ??

  12. Nothing! - I made a solemn promise,shook hands and gave my word that I would not sell her - that's why he dealt with me and will deal with me again
     
  13. Sometimes,just sometimes it ain't all about the money? - and that comes from a car dealer/motor trader of 43 years

  17. I went to the hospital today with a toilet brush up my arse.

    The doctor said, " How did this happen?"

    I said, " Well I met this girl in the pub, one thing led to another, and we ended up back at mine."

    He said, " Into the kinky stuff was she?"

    I said, " No, my wife was home"
