The West Coast
Переглядів 18414 днів тому
We decide to spend Christmas camping on the West Coast of South Africa. Before reaching he coast we see the longest ore carrying train in the world. Up to 7.5km long with 660 coaches. The West Coast can be beautiful but also very harsh when the weather changes. The coast is enormous and it is easy to find a camping spot with your own beach.

Not a good thing to hit one of those 80Lb teeth on legs, one thing being on the twin, but quite another for the cyclists to approach. We only have Wild Boar and Roe Deer here in southern France to worry about. Those carbs give a very quick throttle response, very impressive set up. Ride safe! Chris B.

Amazing to think that Vincent originally fitted a 3 x 20" front tyre. I have a happy memory of seeing the great George Brown sprinting his special(Nero or Super Nero) at Madeira Drive, Brighton UK, in 1971....he wore tattered leathers and a pudding basin lid-wonderful. Thanks for the post. P.S. Although the exhaust note is exhilarating it does sound a bit like those awful modern Harleys with unsilenced exhausts.......no offence to Harley owners who can't afford a Vincent!
