The RTV Vincent engine with Bosch starter motor, hence no kickstarter visible.
Clearly a fabricator of immense skill working in many materials to create his vision.
I can't help pondering the oxymoron of his design philosophy though.
I suppose I understand the choice of drum rear brake and girder forks to capture the essence of the Vincent's era. but the use of a small disc with two heavy looking two pot callipers is confusing.... The headlamp is mounted on an unsprung part of the fork and will follow every bump in the road... The truncated Lucas lamp as used on the Trident and others in the 70's, not of the Vincent's era?

I can't help staring at in in admiration though...The guy's craftsmanship is highly enviable.
