gas spark explosion! working with my hands mentally relaxes me I have played with bikes (pedal and motor) and messed with cars. Luckily I have the best wife who understands my "Mechanical Issues". Now I am restoring a Burley Samba for us to ride as I go thru it

The famous race bike Gunga Din, F10AB/1A/71, was the first Vincent with Mark 2 (Lightning) cams
the most famous Vincent there ever was Gunga Din
here are a few shots of the factory lightening of the internals
this fender is a Gunga exclusive item
notice the ONLY wire is the ignition wire no lights no battery
only wish I had a better shot of the race magneto, a work of golden art
she will be put together and most likely never be "opened" to the public again
you can see her at Pebble Beach
correction from a source that I would call gospel -
Actually # 70 which was sold to Jose Amat,the Cuban dealer was the 1st.They were stamped around the perimeter of the cam wheel with the initials "PEI" ,Phil Irving.
