At http://thevincent.com/ a Flash (or replica) is shown. The owner (I assume), Mike Hawthorne, has made a brake mod with only one shoe pivot to cure the 'pivots in the wrong place' issue. The bike beat Manx Nortons! We need a good Tom Gaynor analysis of that.
The bike also has the elusive special pushrod tube gland nuts, as did the previous feature bike, Tom Gross' Norvin. I can't remember if the restored Gunga Din has them. Maybe Somer Hooker will see this and chime in.
