 Big Sid and Mat's Vincent Comet at the Maxton Mile, ridden by Aaron Frank of Motorcyclist magazine |
Here is a pic for you, one of Aaron on Tina going through the traps. Our best speed was 105.506, not too shabby a start in an open class (M/VG-650/4).
We did four runs before Tina decided to spit a push rod. We were done anyway.
Sid had decided the only way to push the speed up was to go to a larger carb bowl and do some head work. Of course after the ex valve seized we realized another reason we were getting all we had hoped out of her.
Still we lucked out. The valve guide was simply too tight and it scored the valve stem and the guide but beyond that, nothing. We will ream it and polish the valve and refit. It is really like the bike said, that's it, we're going home!
I will forward you Aaron's email: he is a great guy and would be happy to do the show.

MatthewHello , its Sid . I overheard parts of your conversation with Matthew earlier , and your keen observations , real interest and personal experience really set you apart among talk show hosts . Really refreshing after hearing so many ask questions about something they know so little about . Keep up the good work , - Tidewater is truly lucky to have you on the airwaves there .
Here are the photos of the Australian built Irving / Vincent built by the two Horner brothers , Ken and Barry . Horner visited us in Louisville . In the group shot Horner is seen to my left . Seen here in our shop . Matt to my right. Click here to continue

Hi Phil,
Mike sent an email requesting shots of our bikes for the
website. I attached a couple of photos from a trip my buddy Rick and I took
through the Columbia Icefields this past summer. Mine is the silver R100RT -
Rick rides the red R80RT. Also is a picture of my wife's (Liza) new ride. As
you may have guessed I am a beamer guy - truthfully I am a motorbike guy with a
love of beamers.
Check out our local riders club website - we have lots
of events throughout the year. http://www.valleybmwriders.com/ If I
can get it together I will call in to the show this weekend.
