Bid Sid's Vincati
a wonderful machine
..
A few weeks ago under “Head Protection” I mentioned
Tilley Hats, I bought my first
Tilley in the Ontario’s cottage area, I now have three. They are very hard wearing ( A Canadian zoo keepers hat was eaten by a elephant three times and he still did not want to give the thrice bleached hat to the
Tilley Museum. The Zoo Keeper finally relented.

If only I could find a way to “elephant fade” a few hundred pair of indigo blue stiff Levi 501’s what would they be worth on the market..

A few comments on some past posts.
I have really enjoyed “Big Sid's Vincati” but I was on a trip and a fellow traveler finished and gave me a time worn copy of Umberto Eco’s “Foucault’s Pendulum, .
.
a hard read that got me side tracked, I will put aside the Italian’s great work and return to Big Sid’s.
.
The new CYCLE WORLD has a great article about the Big Sid team’s attempt at a land speed record with a single cylinder Vincent, a great machine. A must read with a page on the Vincati.

I spent some time in Rome & Venice, great scooters and motorcycles on the streets of Rome. At a traffic single all of the bike head to the front weaving between cars up to the front to get a leap on the light. Photos to follow with more words.

No vehicles in venice, just boats, but a great city.
