with apologies to Ogden Nash...
My 2 cents: Vincent were impressive but never graceful. The Eglis were thegood-looking ones. Awkward series D seat and 16" wheels don't help.
The seat is way wrong. Also, either the wheelbase has been stretched or those wheels don't help.rdguy
There is nothing RIGHT about that... except the engine. Its lovely.
I agree, the seat is wrong, and the front fork puts visual mass where it shouldn't be, and I had not realized the wheels were smaller...
Also, what is that chrome thingy appx. paralleling the forks, which the damper seems to attach to?
If the seat was a more traditional sort, would that move the visual mass back somewhat?rdguy
OH Lord won't you buy me a Vincent Black ShadowMy friends all ride Harleys, I must make amends
