Haven't seen Bill in a few years. He used to turn up at motorcycle rallies on one of his Vincents, in scruffy riding kit, and generally looked like a bum with an esoteric motorcycle interest.

He financed and built, a 500 GP bike back in the fairly recent days of two - stroke racing and owns and races ( successfully ) a very snazzy squillion dollar yacht.

Apart from his millions, a very ordinary bloke. Don't understand just what he does but, thank goodness for us that he does ! 8) 8)

Sounds like a neat guy. Wonder if he plays Guilds.

There are far more weekend warriors on cycles than what you might think. When I was a member of the Antique Cycle Club of America I knew of 100's of other members that had more than one pre-1954 Harleys, Indians, Vincents, etc in their garages (with security sytem).

I am glad to have re-discovered playing music, and have less grease stains to deal with.
