Another



Sure, we already have a bike there for our Tuesday theme, but this monster is too spectacular to pass up posting.

Egli framed Vincent.
Ooohh boy...

I could explain some of why this thing holds a fetish status in my head, but hell, just look at it.  Just imagine the beautiful bark that comes out of that exhaust.  The smooth surface of the alloy tank, squeezed between your knees as you try to press yourself into a tuck behind that windscreen.  Think of the gentle scent of hot oil that would fill your garage, after you share a ride with this thing.

It really is something.  High zoot street bike, made into a race bike, then taken back to a vaguely legal street bike.  Custom frame contrasted against that chain guard, which looks to have been engineered by a farmer.  All of the spots just crammed with mechanical goodness, contrasted by void and empty space.  And really, Vincent motors are just plain sexy.

OK...


It's for sale, too.  All the details are over here, along with more pictures to ponder.
