Spent an enjoyable day at Crich Tram Museum. Lots to look and ogle at. Including the expensive line in my pic.

They are gorgeous aren't they. Back in the 1970s I had a mate who had 3 Vincent twins including a fully faired Black Prince. He told me that one day they'd be worth £1,000 and then he'd sell them. They did and he did. I lost touch with him but he must have regretted it many times.

The only time I've ridden one was at one of the NMM "ride a bike" days. It wasn't a fair test as it was just round the car park but it wasn't a nice bike to ride there. In fact the Brough Superior was - dare I say - superior. This is me on the Bruffsup. I probably looked too scared on the Vin for the photographer.
