It's a beutifull thing and I'd love to have it, but I think they should have there arses kicked for doing it.
A bit like getting a beautifull body pregnant, should'nt be allowed... unless I did it.
AC.
 
You guys must be getting real old or something!! By God the guy took a old motor and built a work of art. If you look at an original Vincent the motor was the only thing on it that had any style, if you ask me, The seat is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. It's the attention to detail on this bike I find awesome. So go ahead now and tell me I don't know S*^T but I think it looks way better than any original one. Most are all trailer queens now anyways. :roll:
 
I prefer the earlier,( as seen in Iron Horse mag if memory serves, many years ago), incarnation of Jeff Decker's Vincent. Meaner, dirtier, and actually ridden.
 
Yes its a real shame that bikes are being built that cant be ridden, and that for some strange reason people think these things are far superior to machines which can actually be used.
 
Don`t get me wrong, I'm sure that the Falcon Vincent is functional, but anyone willing to spend the kind of money required to pay for the time and material in the build to buy it will likely do so as an art statement rather than ride the thing other than to parade.

I just believe that bikes are meant to be ridden. Vehicle, toy, sport article, call it what you will. If they are too pretty or valuable they tend not to get used.

I'm curious to see what they do with the Norton mill. I should hope that it will be more reasonable with expenses and be a good runner.

On a side note I had some Vincent connecting rods in my hands the other day and can`t get over how heavy they were.
