may be wrong but he appears to be riding a mobility scooter in the first link.

watermelons, and turnips, and a contaminator

It's just stuff, and it belongs to him, but as a rider, I don't have to be pleased and proud about him sitting on top of a load of Vincents just so he'll have them to not ride, like Smaug sleeping on top of a pile of gold that he can't do anything with except say "I've got it and you don't" ....

i agree. but thats the nature of collecting. i have enough motorcycles for each of my kids to have one, if theyre interested.
thats already more than i can keep running.
but theyre just things, in the end. eventually there will be a fire, or an earthquake, or a bomb, and each of those vincents will go to the scrapyard. maybe not while he owns them, but sooner or later.

thats already more than i can keep running. Amen to that ! I commented to someone that just keeping all those tyres pumped up would nearly be a full time job ! And you'd need a small power station just to keep all the trickle chargers trickling ... before you can say Jack Robinson. I think you mean before you can say Ja .....

Pretty sure I just read and article about him in one of the latest classic bike mags. Leaving trickle chargers plugged in and unattended worry me...
