    Thanks, winter has just set in here in not sunny Devon. I'd better sort out a dji for next summer. When the Vincent was younger we had so much less traffic and better road surfaces,still know where the best kept secret roads are though. I think of my Harley as new at 26 but that's not much less than the Vincent was when I started biking. Terrible image quality short on my channel. Must try harder but I'll leave the baffles in. Have a great summer and good luck with your channel.

    My grandfather died last week in his late 80s and he owned multiple Vincent's over his lifetime. The one I remember sitting on when I was very little, in the late 90's/early 00's, was his last which I believe was a C Series Rapide. Sadly that was sold very soon after as he hung up his riding boots and used the money to buy a Volvo estate. At the time my father was more into modern sports bikes so it made sense to sell it (although I think in hindsight collectively we wish we had stayed custodians of it now 😅). Currently, I ride around on my 2011 Kawasaki W800, but at some point I have said to myself I will own a Vincent. (For now) finding and watching these videos are about as close as I can get to having an idea of what he would have felt. As others have said keep these videos coming, there will always be someone that is truly interested in these magnificent machines !

    Not beasts. Hand made motorcycles with good roadholding and excellent brakes for the time. Top speed of110, maybe 120. Their beauty was to cruise at 80 all day, purring like a cat. I always found anything over 80 was uncomfortable unless you had a fairing or laid on the gas tank. The unique Rollie Free achieved 150 on a specially prepared model, lying flat on the machine after shaving his hair off, having a bathing cap painted on his head and wearing swimming trunks and sandshoes to comply with the protective head, clothing and footwear rules. Superb machines, now objects of investment and speculation.

      No, it is not a rocket stove but works more like a wood stove. Front load for wood or charcoal with good air regulation. The chimney can take a metal grid to boil water or even make a potjie from the heat escaping. The other nice thing is that it is cast iron and holds plenty of heat for heating purposes when out camping. It is also not a big turbo although it looks like one. It is an AIR BOLWER similar to a water pump. The innards have been removed. I added the steel door on the front and the air regulation slide at the bottom. It looks cool and works really well. I named it ' The Black Mamba'
