Oh stop this, Mountain Dog, I promise not to turn this into a Vincent motorcycle love feast...but. Just try and find the late 1940's shot of the sainted Rollie Free of blessed memory streaking (almost literally) across the Bonneville Salt Flats at over 150mph clad in nothing but a pair if bathing trunks! Mental stuff!!
Incidentally RT attended the memorial to Dick Busby (a friend I think) who built the Vincent featured on the inside spread of the Rumour and Sigh album it is said that 'The Song' was sung.
Jay Leno is another Vincent enthusiast but what would I a mere Brit know of such people. Thanks for your indulgenmce.
