Just saw this bike in person yesterday at Mods vs Rockers in Chicago. Met Big Sid and Matthew at Restoration Werks afterward, and got to see and hear it up close and personal. Big Sid lights up when he talks about this machine, and his son. Stephen Pate, owner at Restoration Werks (www.restorationwerks.com) was given an opportunity to ride it (only the 6th person), and came back amazed. Sid really tuned the heck out of this machine. Great book and a nice story – even better when you’ve met the men.

In a discussion about Vincents with another grey beard motorcycle enthusiast … he described the Black Shadow as being the Ducati of the mid 20th century. Meaning that it was the cutting edge of performance technology and happened to be powered by a sophisticated V twin engine.

I agree. I was also startled to see the bike in that picture … I bought a 1970 GT from a dealer in 1972 … it was one of the first imports to North America of the twin cylinder bikes.

It was the same blue metallic color … seeing the bike in the picture I thought “Gee my old duc” .. but what’s different … then I figured it out … har!

Now that put a smile on my face.
