Question:
Quick question... does anybody out there know the true story behind the Vincent "Black Widow"? I have heard some people say that it never actually existed, and that the whole thing is just urban legend. Others have said that a handful of them were built before the company went under in 1955. I know that Vincent made about 30 "Black Lightnings" based on the Black Shadow format, but I have never seen a photo of the Black Widow.
Where is the cheapest place to buy Crotch Rocket Fairings?
Anybody have some solid info? Anybody actually seen one?

Gear reduction on a 2002 400ex?
Yes, the "Black Widow" DOES exist (somewhere)I actually SAW one back in the early '70's. In fact, it was 1973, the year I paid $1200 for my '63 Panhead, that I'm still riding today!
It was the FIRST time I saw a 5-digit price tag on a USED bike, and it still sold to some LUCKY bugger the very next day!
Many a heart was broken the day Vincent went belly-up! Even some hard-core Harley riders I know shed a few alligator tears at the demise of this classic legend!
Digital Speedometer Question.?
They did indeed exist. I saw a special on Speedvision (I think..) about these great and rare bikes. Could have also been on Discovery or TLC -- try the web sites for these channels.What is the Pointiac Roadstar?

Never saw one but yeah I think they were real. I have driven a Shadow however, and if the Widow is anything like that beast, the name is well chosen. An excellent bike to kill yourself on. All power, no brakes, quite unruly.

But fun :)
