Have lusted after a Vincent since I got my first motorbike as a scrawny 17 yr old in the eighties (don't laugh you lot out there, it was a 1956 BSA Bantam Major). Saw a Shadow flying down open freeway here in Aus and it was going like the clappers!... 🙂 Lovely elegant bikes.
So glad to be part of the Vincent motorcycle family. Well done to all for this wonderful story to be told to the public in general of two great Vincents.
I have a 48 Rapide that I restored from junk over a period of 13 years. It was one of my lifes ambitions to do this. Now I have about 20,000 miles on this bike and it has lived up to it's reputation. Quite a few of my friends are very experienced motorcyclists, and a lot of them have Thruxton Rs. Some of them own Vincents as well. One afternoon I traded bikes with my friend who has a Thruxton R. The Thruxton R is great but it was also amazing what my friend thought of the HRD, he thought it was powerful and smooth he was amazed by the smooth operation of the clutch and gearbox.
We can only hope that one day VINCENT will be producing motorcycles again like Triumph, Royal Enfield, Norton & BSA. We need the classic ones back to enjoy. I was a BSA mechanic when the Rocket 3 came out. It's too bad that BSA/ Triumph didn't build a 1000cc 4 cylinder to get ahead of the Honda CB750 back in 1969.
Came across my Dad's rapide 60 yrs after Dad sold it, through a video on YT. Went to see it several yrs later, amazing.
My grandfather, Rex...knew him .Thought he was a little bit mad.I suppose you had to be ..trying to achieve those speeds in those days.Looking forward to the film
Been riding fifty two years now two bikes on my bucket list but have yet to run across Harley Davidson "K" model and the Vincent Black Shadow and I ain't dead yet👍😎
My dad worked at HRD in Stevenage in the late 40s at the time he rode a Norton 500 International the third one of the production line after the war
British muscle bikes always my favorite, but i hadn't
learned of the
Vincent (Black Lightning) motorbikes until i heard the
Richard Thompson song.
The German Shephard riding on that dude's shoulders is spectacular.
when will dvd be available please? i was on my 125 honda with my dad between pontypool and crumlin back in the eightees and something flashed past us, bop bop bop, caught up at a red light, vincent rapide, some things you remember for life
After the 'Consequences' of my father owning and crashing a Vincent , the family got tired of his wild-ways and bought him a one-way ticket to NZ, where he met my mother . So I owe my existence somewhat, to a Vincent-Rapide . I have owned dozens of bikes over the years and still ride . My largest machine is the Vincent-inspired Yamaha XV1000 1981 . Yamaha bought a Vincent as part of the development of their first 1000cc bike . They used the engine/frame idea and the shock-placement . The first ones even had a 'mock/imitation' Vincent-like rear-guard, which none of the Reviewers at the time , liked or realised was Vincent-inspired . The model was short-lived as they quickly evolved-it into a Cruiser-style machine . The Vincent still lives on in the other 'Makes' of 21st-Century motorcycles and remains The Legend that manufacturers try to capture . Dave NZ
Great information. I customised a Yamaha XV with Vincent inspiration, I think it turned out quite nice.
We'll said, most of the Yamaha Virago model carryon with the same Vincent touch. Later I spotted on Virago customised like Vincent for rock singer Bille Joe.
@@turbofan67 Good Stuff ! Mines a bit that-way also, other riders can't figure out what it is (1981 TR1 , chain-drive Roadster . Dave NZ
Great to see this wonderful part of English Motorcycle history commemorated in this way.
This is great!! Well done. Such an historic motorcycle! It deserves all honours . I wish I had one! But, happy to see this,!! 🏍
I owned a '51 C Black Shadow back in 78-85 area, loved the effortless power it made. I owned in the 70s-80s all of the English name bikes Ariel 4 to Vellocet and I must say the Vincent was probably my favorit !
Wow... just wow. Long been my favourite motorcycle of all time.
I love the vincent and the story's behind them, it's needs a movie ❤
A great tribute to the man and a wonderful thing to happen for his family, his designs were decades ahead of their time.
really hope this becomes available world wide
His daughter and grandson come over very well in these interviews
Have you ever seen a more purposeful and beautiful motorcycle engine? I haven't.
Really want to see this film. How can I do that? I went to school in the old Vincent works, hung out at George Brown's store across the green. Friend Adrian Reynard (that Adrian Reynard) used to work Saturdays for George and I worked for Hans Edwards who worked for Vincent in the early days. The film brings a perspective we've never seen. Thank you! James
Can't wait to see this film
I am excited to see the film!
Highly recommended :)
@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel how can I see it? Im in New York.
@The Classic Motorcycle Channel : Same question : I'm in Paris how can I see it?
Aaah, yes. Two words that most every motorcycle enthusiast know mean quality, power, and speed. Those two words are simply:
"The Vincent".......
Awesome, thank you for sharing this gift.
Yes speed is expensive .How fast do you want to go ?
Given the contrast to the movie, it's looks like a re-emergence of Vincent in a near future is imminent.
I met the owner a few days ago and unless it is a secret the answer seems to be unlikely
Indian bike company Bajaj brought Vincent bikes and we will see it on roads near future soon
Really can't wait for this :)
Where can I watch this film?
The Vincent......Was the Packard/Rolls-Royce of motorcycles......
I think that was the Brough Superior, but Vincents are Amazing
Hi, does anyone know if this film is available to watch yet, and if so then how?
Hey Tom, yeah, the film is currently being shown in the festivals and not on UA-cam or anything like that yet.
@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel i was searching everywhere and could not find anyway to watch it. Do you have any information about streaming release date ?
very interesting video
Will this ever be released on a cd or something ?
It's doing the festival circuit at the moment so might be a while before you can get it on DVD
Allen Millyard could recreate a Vincent......he is known as The Einstein Of Motorcycle Engineering
No. IMHO, Honda racing associates Mugan built an engine which is the closest Vincent look a like machine I ever gazed through. It's having the exact valve covers and exhaust headers.
@@kabeemer Can you write some details so I can look it up. I own a few Vincents and building an engine up.
I did ask Allen about a probable Vincent project but the answer was a firm 'No'.
@@deepindercheema4917 Why bother, there`s a few already doing that.
@@JohnJones-cp4wh It's asking like Millyard about a Kawasaki project and you say 'why bother' because others are.
Where can I find speed is expensive in the states?
Not sure yet Paulie, the film is still going around the festival circuit
@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel ok thanks
Vincent bought the company for $200k
HRD won the 500cc gp on a 350 he built himself.
Then built the vincent.
Completely wrong. Howard Davies did indeed design, build and ride his HRD to TT victory. Then his firm/business failed. Vincent bought the name and fixtures to start his own business. Kept the name until the sucess of the post war bike in US then the HRD was dropped because it was thought that it would be confused with Harley Davidson.
Hrd built the vincent
