I have a feeling she can park anywhere she likes. 'Cause she's "a mean motor scooter and a bad go getter".

Who remembers where that quote is from?

I can't help other than to say you are correct, it is a Vincent. I personally feel the Vincent twin is the most beautiful motorcycle engine ever built. If I ever wind Lotto, I'll have one.

It appears to be a Black Lightning, which was the factory built racer. The pipes and carburetors are correct. The gas tank is interesting, I've never seen one like it. I suspect that it was for a long distance event, maybe the Manx GP that was held in the fall for amateur riders.

Drag racing or top speed run? Didn't notice that before.

Article in Motorcycle Classics magazine about Gunga Din

Gunga Din

Tom and Zookster thanks for the Gunga Din links. I had never heard of it before.

The Motorcycle Classics article starts out listing a couple of other famous bikes with names. It left out the one with the coolest name though.....the Harley roadracer,"Lucifer's Hammer"

While the Vincent is up there, I don't think it beats the Crocker for beauty.

Girl on a (live) motorcycle, not an old model unfortunately, even more unfortunate I'm not the old model.

It is safe for work, scroll down to "sex and moto" video.

I haven't heard much about Crockers before. thanks for posting that website! Both the Broughs and the Crockers are incredible machines. The Vincents fit right in there with them. Now that I've seen what kind of price they sell for, Don't think that there will be one in my future.
