Vincent......that brings back memories. I was on the back of my mates Triumph Thunderbird, going down the road that was always used as a racetrack back in the 50s, Stonebridge Straight, That is near the NEC . We were galloping along at over the ton, and a Vincent Black Shadow came past at around 120/125 mph. What a racket the two were kicking up. More chaps met their end along that road than anywhere else I can think of with all the trees along the side of the road, but what a great time we used to have .
