Top Five All Time Favorite Production Bikes Number Four. Vincent Black Lightning and Black Shadow.

The Vincent Black Lightning and Black Shadow. Jesus.  Talk about ahead of it's time.  I considered the Royal Enfeld Interceptor here but much as I love that bike the Vincents are just all that and more for me.  They speak for themselves really.  Not much else to say.

And before you start beating me over the head I know they are not the same bikes and I do know the history.  But in my eye they're close enough so sue me.

Vincent Special

You Guessed it... Another Stunning Vincent.

Maybe I should just start a code system.  ASV for Vincent, ASMG(Mot Guzzi), ASD (Ducati), ASN (Norton, AST (Triumph) etc...

Although in this case it would be AS"E"V for Egli Vincent.

Ho Hum. Another Stunning Vincent.

Riding into History Show and I had the wrong Camera... Brough Superior. Arial Square Four. Vincent. Triumph

Next few days will be some of the better posts from the local Riding Into History Motorcycle Concourse in St Augustine Florida. Sadly, I packed the wrong lower resolution camera so my pics are not as sharp as I'd usually hope for. A little post processing seems to have given them some usefulness though. Here's some of the first pics I snapped. I was an perfect day and an outstanding event. 

FYI: If you want to see the whole album go to the "Links to full albums" page at the top of this blog and there are links to this album as well as most of the rest of my pics.  Enjoy!

Ohhh BABY!!! Vincent Drag Racer.

Vincent.

Got this from a reader. Not sure if it's his bike or not. Beautiful either way.

A 150 MPH speedometer.  This was a HUGE deal at the time.

  

Radical Vincent. Is it industrial art or is it industrial pornography?

The old adage of "I know it when I see it" still applies I suppose...

 

 

Radical Vincent under a shady tree...

Another Custom Vincent. WOW!

A Beautiful Custom Street Tracker Style Vincent behind a White Pickett Fence

I just love this tracker style on a Vincent. Really well executed. I found this bike anonymously posted on The Adventure Rider site. If anyone has any specific info on the builder it'd be much appreciated.
