We recently had The Southern Classic historic race meeting at Broadford and had a veterans parade on the Sunday. Barry Smith rode one of these beautiful machines and I can tell you they are magnificent. My thanks to the Horner boys for making the bike available and to Barry for riding it for us.
Cheers, John

my mother used to swing passanger for G Atherton on a rapid powered sidecar back in the 80s at rowley park speedway and it breaks my heart to know I will probably never own one of these beautiful works of living art, well done on your concept I would go custom fat arse chopper myself.MHorner@tpg.com.au

Mr. Horner’s Vincent has got to be incredible standing next to it, especially with the openness behind the rear cylinder. You could practically get your head in there…love it.

the cases are organic looking like they were hand-beaten

brushed aluminum megaphones, black rims, chrome spokes

It looks good from the tank+engind forward. the rest, I don’t know. also 1600cc seems to be wrong, don’t know why

Good points Todd;

I still think the rear could be done better. Catilever (SP?) the tail section from under the gas tank and reverse the 45 angle for the footrests again coming from under the gas tank. That would open up the space above the rear whell and draw the eye in a flowing manner from the fairing to the tank and then down towards the rear wheel.

Using the pipes from his classic racer # 1 would also help.
