While searching for something entirely different, I came across an
article that mentioned the above man and his bike, and remember seeing
The Thing in action during the 70's. It had a Vincent engine and twin
rear tyres.

Is there anyone here with more info on the bike or the man? It would be
nice to know if both are still around.

That's the man, the misspelt name came from the article and a defective
memory.
Thank you.
