Buying a Vincent

You are truly a man of vision.... a nice Ulster could ease much sorrow and pain.

Tinker toys are always a thrill too.

This is true, however the car purchase did not suck up all of the Vin funds. There's just enough left over for another old MC of some sort ( maybe Goldstar or Rudge Ulster) and some lathe tooling. That should ease the pain and suffering quite a bit.

That sounds good Glen. And, moreover, you actually still have a Vincent to enjoy right ?!

A mate has two Rudges, lovely things.

Yes, I'll hang onto the one we bought in OZ, it's setup for touring so it gets ridden a lot.
Rudges are rare over here, Goldstars can be found.

Lots of Rudges over here. Import one. It isn't a big deal anymore.

worntorn · Apr 22, 2021

That's likely what I'll do.
I read the production numbers somewhere and they were quite large. It seems they are like the Vincent in that many have survived.

Yes, going to put some miles on it soon.

I'm already kicking myself a bit over selling the pristine one pictured above.

Did you sell the Glenli?

Storm42, if you want the gem of Vincents, and have the money, why not make a bid?

Buelling asked " Did you sell the Glenli?"

No, that's the 1360. I'll hang onto that.
