Not mine unfortunately. Spotted on a recent trip on the pcx - I think this was Skegness.
Shame about the tank bag being in the way of it's good looks.

Never mind the tank bag, that topbox and the disc conversion are utterly honking looking.
But very functional.
So nice to see a bike like this actually being put to the use it was built for.
That's some serious big money right there, maybe 60k's worth.

That much
I'm not up on Vincent models, I've heard about the Black Shadow and the Lightening - don't know which model this is though. On the original pic I can zoom in and get the engine number.
I agree, it's nice to see it being used. My brother's got an early 60's Norton 500 Dominator that he took to bits in the late 1970's and put in boxes - it's still in the boxes

Send me the boxes in a van and I'll put it back together and give it some very prolonged road testing....

According to
http://www.thevincent.com/vinprod.html the engine number (F10AB/1/6475) makes it a 1951 1000cc Rapide C.
