Yeah Unc, Dad had the Vincent, a Triumph, and a Harley pretty much all at the same time. He drove a Porsche also. I have a 10 speed mountain bike and an old rusty pickup truck!
A lovely looking "Dark and Dusky" looking pair there 'UJ',.
My dear old dad was a Dispatch Rider in New Guinea during WW2, when he was demobbed he swore never to hop on a bike again, (and didn't) he also wouldn't let me buy one when I was younger, The reason I'm probably lucky to be still alive today!!!, however a lot of my friends and relations were not so lucky!!!
I can even fall over in my backyard without breaking ribs. I was thrown off a newly constructed cloverleaf when the bike layer down. It sanded off the driver's boot deep into his foot and threw me 50 ft. Downhill on rubble into a swamp. The blood, the mud and me in shorts and a tee shirt. Mucking around looking for my glasses. Then we had to get back on and ride to Colorado Springs to the hospital. We arrived caked in blood and mud. A scene from Hell. Don't ride Uncle.
You guys are scaring me. I lived and breathed dirt bikes from 16 to 40 then had a road bike. No bikes for the last 20 years. Kind of wishing for one, but would likely not ride it much and it would suck to get hurt or killed. Jim, a VINCENT!!

Thanks, Man!
These look amazing!!
Thanks, AGP. Cool story. I love the word demobbed. The U.S. does not use it.
Thanks, Gary. Me or the guitars? Both?
Your pop sounds cool, Jim. Maybe that very close call you had saved your life.
Dave, I have a perfectly good 27 Speed!

Darkly sweet, Unc!

Best advice, Dave. Maybe a new bicycle.
