This Vincent is branded in about 11 different places. That includes the way cool cali plate. And yes, that’s a saber handle there next to the seat.

Amazing and fantastic!

Ever try to place a small piece of wood under your center stand like that? It's not easy. I think he had help.

Several years ago I went to Vintage Days at Mid Ohio when Vincent was the featured marque. There were about 15 Black Widows in one place as well as several of them cruising around. I was speechless.

Lovely, but whoever installed the top box should be taken out behind the barn & shot. Practical? That's not really a question to be asked when riding a Vincent. The modern air filters & rubber don't do much for me either.
You want classy, period-correct carrying cases? Something along the lines of what this Brough wears, then:http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadelvis/3805974543… -
'Black Shadow of a Vincent
falls from a Triumph line,
I got my motorcycle jacket
but I'm walking all the time'
Is the sabre hilt Sheffield steel, by chance?-
oh, and that box is wrong. Just wrong.

The only time I saw a Vincent in person was in Moab, Utah, when I saw two of them parked on the street. I waited around for quite a while, taking pictures. I wanted to talk to the owners, but what I really wanted to hear was the sound of them riding off. And, yeah, the box on this one looks like hell. I think the guy just wanted someplace to put a modern taillight and license plate so he could keep the originals in place. I hope that was the case, anyway.

That "saber handle" is actually the operating lever for the center stand and folds forward when riding.
