Just had that view of the 5"speedo this aft. 57degree November weather was too much to let pass, 15-20 degree F below freezing temps coming next week.
I did one last afternoon ride on the Vincent plus a morning ride on the Triumph Daytona 955i. It always amazes me that the old torquesters still feel so good after getting off something with 160hp. For a long trip the Vincent still ticks all the boxes, reliable, comfortable, decent suspension, very good brakes, great power and tons of luggage capacity. Hard to believe it is nearly seventy years old, built very early days postwar, just the 38th machine assembled after WW2. A quarter of a million miles and eight owners later it still is a pleasure to ride. Irving and Vincent had no idea how long these things would run, they just built them as well as humanly possible at the time.
Would have snuck out on the Commando too but it still needs some electrical attention.
