It's been a while since I posted but as we are about to start an epic journey on our two Vincent's I thought I'd record it.
We set off tomorrow morning so Marty is currently working out our fuel stops as the bikes don't have the fuel range of our more modern bikes.
I will be riding the 1950 Comet on which I have done about 50km some 2 months ago so I'm expecting it to take me a few kms before I get my head and feet completely around the change in position of gear and brake levers, not to mention the fact the gear change is also opposite in direction to my BMW. Will be fine I'm sure.
Marty will be on board the 1954 Black Shadow. He is quite used to the reverse lever operations.
We will be accompanied on the journey by our friend Blair who will be aboard his GS 1250 BMW. Hopefully he won't mind the slightly slower pace of these old machines.
So it's time to get some shut eye so we are ready to roll tomorrow.
