This is the longest time an article has gone uncommented here.

Tragic loss, it was. One has to wonder where v twin sportbikes would be today if we hadn't lost such a creative brain.

RIP, John.

I'll check it out-Mr. Britten was my hero, and I would have loved to have one of those bikes.

A fairly well known Vincent enthusiast has one, maybe 2, the creature.

Hey, as long as no-one is responding-my sub expires in a few days. Fare well, all!

MO at least get some $$$ out of a post like this.

Or maybe you do have something rigged up.

Is that the silent black helicopters I hear coming!

I've read Tim Hanna's book, and it is comprehensive.

what I found was the depth of the man, and his ability to gather and inspire those around him to accomplish great things.

On the other side, his wish to be distinct was a hindrence in some areas, the girder fork is one example in the book that comes to mind.

Yeah, it was a loss of a great creative mind, a good person.
