Aladdins Cave discovered!!

[ventura]

Was out for a ride on the old bikes today which was unfortunately cut short due to a snapped throttle cable on one of the bikes.

The offending bike ended up being recovered back to a friends house who you could say is a bit of a Brit-bike enthusiast!!

I took some photos (unfortunately on my phone camera) of the Aladdins Cave in his back garden.
Some of which I think you may enjoy........

A 1940 Ariel which he uses when he regularly goes shooting....



One of 4 Coventry Eagles which I spotted.....





This, would you believe, is a shot of 3 of the NINE Vincent/HRD's he ownes!!
Oh, and another Coventry Eagle!....



And how about this HRD rig!.....





Oh, and another....



Under here is an all enclosed Vincent Black Night....



Which in the flesh looks like this.....



Then a trio of A65 BSA's hidden away in the corner.....



And this was my favorite, which I was lucky enough to take out for a run.
Its a Ducati 750SS engine shoe-horned into a Featherbed frame, Norvin front end and custom tank and seat.
It handles a dream!!....







Do I look happy!!

Believe it or not there were many more bikes which I either didnt get shots of or couldnt identify.

I think I'll pay a return visit very soon!!

You need to take a ride on them all, and give us a report on what they are like. Be nice to see some more of those Vincent's...and maybe a video or 2???
