Been out today and the speedo packed up within 3 miles followed by a worsening misfire after about 15 miles.
Upon checking the speedo cable is broken.
The misfire caused me to stop at the roadside eventually just as the engine cut out.
Checks revealed there was fuel in the tank and the engine started as soon as I lifted the fuel cap so a blocked breather is suspected.

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.

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

Hi Gareth. I’m well on the road to full recovery now after my op. So, yes please count me in.
If my rs250 tracker is well on the way I’ll bring that down. If not I can either bring the xbr tracker or the standard rs250 👍
Cheers, Michael

Brilliant ....I remember it well. I feel a lot better having had an apology 😂
