    That Vincent you photographed in Chimay, do you have a larger piccy of
    that? I *think* you're onto something about it being an Egli-Vincent
    but a better photo of the frame might make it easier to identify. I
    think I've got some photos of an Egli-Vincent somewhere, just a case
    of finding them...

    Oh, and what's this "do you want to fill Bob's seat" thing in the back
    about then?

    I've got a pic, yes, but it'll need hunting out. This Saturday (maybe)
    Eh? No idea, but then I haven't seen the latest ish yet.

    The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    No worries. I'll (hopefully)[1] be mostly Panning this weekend...
    Latest issue arrived yesterday and the ad looks like they're searching
    for a new editor...

    [1] Friggin' cheque I've given the owner hasn't shown up in my account
    yet. Bit worrying seeing that he said he'd carry it to the bank on
    Monday.

    Looks like an Egli to me too.

    If you read the editorial you'll see why Bob is leaving...

    Seen it now. Yeah, but who wants to live in Lincolnshire?

    Oh, I knew he was leaving. Didn't know they were advertising for a
    successor until today.

    Having had a squint at SOB Monthly, I think this is the same bike:

    Original 1280 x 960 available at
    http://www.network-topology.co.uk/images/Vincent.jpg

    I'll have a rummage in the study and try and find the programme - it
    may provide a little more detail.

    Surely that's a Godet?

    Rummage completed and programme located. According to the runners and
    riders relevant to the Regularite class[1], Number 17 is an Egli
    Vincent, ridden by Serge Vollard. However, close inspection of
    Vincent.jpg reveals what appears to be "Godet" on the tank, just below
    the rider's wrist. Well spotted that monotreme.

    [1] Rough translation of the notes: "Valuable or technically
    interesting motorbikes that the owner doesn't want to race
    competitively." SOB track day, then.
