Rode to Solvang and visited Virgil Elings Motor Cycle Museum. There is a lot of cool stuff there.
Like these four Vincent's.
The pre war 39 Rapide is just to cool, even more Mechanical looking than later ones.
The two Lighting's were cool but......

The man himself showed up there and we chatted for a brief bit, he raced this stuff when he was a younger man. The guy on his left is a volunteer.

I have pictures of this also but forgot the deal to down load the pictures at home.
Virgil was racing this thing and spun a bearing so he had another Crank made, amazing I believe I counted 5 Mains and 4 rod throws in only a foot to 16 inches.
