Cool. Did you restore it yourself?

[homie]

Reduce them about half that more Arn and we can see them on our computers. I see you are trying.

that is proper!

My Boss did this one with the help of an old Vincent owners Club friend who lives locally. He, sadly is unwell but we have ambitions to bring it over to the States with a Triumph Tiger 110 which I would like to ride at Mulholland Drive one Sunday morning. Watch this space! I will try to reduce it a bit more Homie. Sorry!

I had to know... learned me something about HDR motorcycles

Howard Raymond Davies (27 June 1895 – January 1973), was an English motorcycle racing champion, motorcycle designer and originator of the 'HRD' marque which later became Vincent-HRD motorcycles. He died in January 1973.

[you you]

Yes, that is gorgeous.

I for one am willing to exercise my mouse to see that beauty. Sometimes a big pic is a bit annoying, and other times... well, this is one of those times. Thanks.

Here my Granny on some sort of thing in the 1930’s
There’s a bit of a debate of what it is. I’ve been told it’s a Cotton.

I'd be the my house that that is a Cotton. Don't know what model. Mid to late 30s 600. British plate. The two strokes were more my era.

Come clean. That's you and GN2 on it

It could be a "Cotton". The tank and knee pad looks about right. No chrome rim on the headlight though. . ..

That's a tough one to figure out.

The engine has some "New Imperial" characteristics. "Ariel" eventually took them over.

Also has a bit of a "Matchless" look to it as well. . ..

When I first started getting into riding (1970) there were a few Vincent Motorcycles seen regularly in my area. At the time they were admired but BSA, Norton, and Triumph sold more. Royal Enfield 750's were scattered here and there also but not in quantity. I miss seeing the variety of motorcycle marques in the day to day riding that there was then.

Nice bike Arn. Refreshing!

I'd still bet on a Cotton. Can't work out whether that's a reflection on the tank or the handchange.

When the picture first opened I thought it was a Panther Sloper. I'd still kill for one of those. No Vincent of course

Could be a Cotton. A local fella around the corner from me called John Kitson rode a Cotton Guzzi on the Isle of Man for a few years. Just to wet your appetite, here is a "pic" of the garage where I am working at the moment for my Mate, Ben Niblett.

[you you]

And no oil on the garage floor...

[Arn]

There is oil in em! The one in the far corner is a 1932 Scott water cooled. One of my favourites and he has got two of them. I am trying to get hold of one. I have seen these in action at my local Hill climb circuit. Check out "Prescott Hill" Gloucestershire.

I saw the Scott. They are strangely beautiful for a two stroke. I always wanted a Silk. Kind of like a old Pharos LC in my mind . I bet they are crazy prices now. What is the yellow Vincent. Any more pictures

I'd like to go to Prescott Hill someday, I live next to Harewood hillclimb. That is lovely too.

TV1125 the Scott?

It was suggested it’s a New Imperial.

The yellow Vincent is a genuine "Egley" model. The guy used to work for Vincent like Mike Hailwood and decided he could build a better frame. There is one of Hailwoods racing Triumphs here somewhere. When we dig it out I will send Pics!. The latest project here is a 1930 Scott and a Moto Guzzi in bits at the moment. Cheers Arn
