The owners of the Vincent Rapid motorbike were camping on the recreation ground when they were disturbed by engine noise outside their tent. When they looked outside they discovered the valuable machine had been stolen.

Witnesses say they saw a white high-top van leave the site at about 10.30pm and head towards the A338.

Registration number PVX 299, engine number F10 AB/1/2293, frame number RC 4193, was first registered in 1950 although made in 1949. Be aware of any parts offered for sale that may have come from this Vincent.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the van at this time to ring them on 08450 454545.

Some Irving Vincent Action...

SSSssssssssEXY!

Holy Shh.. A well attended to Vincent.

Just stumbled acoss this and had to post it. From Jehu on ADV Rider..

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.
