In 1957 I first met a larger than life character by the name of Capt. Ron Hovenden RN Retired, owner of a 1949 Vincent B Rapide that was continuously upgraded by the Stevenage factory and eventually upgraded to Series C, and friend of Vincent designer Phil Irving who I met when he stayed at Rons. So I went and bought a 1953 Rapide from Tom Somerton down in Old Hill. Also that year I met the future Mrs P, eventually in a few years the Vincent lost out, but it was not long before the Black Shadow arrived.	Terry Porritt (14)

The Diamonds I have never heard of, although the noise they made was kind of familiar. Damn you Cicero, I will now have that tune echoing around my head for the rest of the day. Liked the Vincent story Terry. I learned to ride on a Norton Dominator, which I thought was the last thing in bikes. Flatmate in Wanganui had a Manx which he used to race on Cemetery Circuit day, but wouldn't let me near it!!	Richard (739)
