Look at this from Youtube ... best to turn the sound off 'cos it's dire ... :( Stop the vid at 55 seconds ... Is that a scale Vincent Black Shadow or is it a big bloke ???? The petrol [ gas ? ] tank does not look right though ... :scratch: Dave |

I think it is the perspective and wide angle lens causing the bike to look small. That oil spot underneath is authentic enough though. |

well guys it looks a bit twee to me , they were quite a lump , I have not own one but ridden a mates many times when I was an apprentice , the old days when some off shore bikes had the gear change on the wrong side :doh: the guy in question had a SS100 but he would not let me have a go on that these are the days before you had to wear a brain bucket I am basing my comments on his hand on the seat those seats were ample that looks a bit small , but as usual I may be totally wrong in my assumptions Stuart PS just had a look at Bonhams and the tank looks OK but I am not convinced its full size http://www.bonhams.com/press_release/13490/ |

I'm still not convinced ... that tank is just WRONG too much of a hump at the back ... This is a real one ... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=vincent+black+shadow&qs=AS&form=QBIR&pq=vincent+blac&sc=8-12&sp=1&sk=#view=detail&id=22A0CB1BFC7AA317A0BF91E0589F5F8032BBFBF0&selectedIndex=0 Looks more like one from a Velo Clubman like mine .... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=velocette++clubman&qs=HS&form=QBIR&pq=velocette+&sc=8-10&sp=1&sk=#view=detail&id=7B1C2AD12F876E09E1DDDD49E8FDC704DA56063A&selectedIndex=7 Stuart, that one you posted is for the 24 Hr. event. at Montlehery or whatever. It's not the standard tank. Presumably to increase the range as fuel stops decrease ave. speed. Dave. |

Dave My brain cell has sprung into life The tanks were teardrop shape as were all the big bikes of that ilk. Stuart |
