Title: The most fabulously breathtaking motorcycle I have ever seen.

I am completely smitten and will go to my grave knowing that I can never own it.

Sorry

Vincent Black Widow

Do you mean Black Shadow? I've never heard of a Vincent "Black Widow"- is it a rare model?. I used to hanker after the Black Prince, but its styling is rather clumsy in comparison to the Henderson. (I was born a few hundred yards from Conway Motors and used to go and dribble on the window).

I must admit I would love to own the re-born Brough Superior; really splendid.

Not my kind of thing but that Henderson is certainly something very special!

Very rare indeed. It was an eight-wheeler IIRC ....

Sorry mate, I don't share the same taste as you!

Never mind, but I wouldn't give it house room.

Sorry brain cell dead again

Must have been thinking that was the result in riding the shadow wide open

It's not my taste, but that Henderson is something special.  Shows a great deal of originality, but I wouldn't want to ride it in a crosswind!!
cheers
