More from The Family Photo Album
My parents were into bikes all their lives, Vincents in particular.
I'm now sorting old photos so if anyone has any history about any of their bikes or knows where they are now I'd love to hear from them.
Most photos will have been taken around Tyneside as that has always been the family home.
Touring trim as the bike was often used for trips away, including several around Europe.
Gateshead, Tyneside :
LNE936 DVLA has no record https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/vehicle_enquiry/
One of the Vincents was involved in a serious crash near Glasgow in the 1950's and came back to the Tyneside family home in big pieces, I'm not sure which bike it was or what happened to the bike afterwards.
Tyneside has had a thriving motorcycle scene for many years, also the family and their friends raced Vincent sidecar outfits and rode Norvins so there is a possibility the engine from this bike was sold on or put into a racing outfit or a special after the crash.
