As one of the late starters, I decided on a leisurely ride up the Indian Ocean Drive.

Stopped at the Nilgen Lookout...

Then at the Molah Hill Lookout...

Arriving in Jurien Bay, then stopping at the Family Cafe for a human re-fuel, I thought, I'm in a fishing village, I'm eating fish and chips! Not a meat pie.
Although the chilli sausage roll was terrific. Ten different flavours of home-made sausage rolls. That's what I'm talking about...

Together, we rocked up at Ian's Vincent Collection.
Now Ian has a passion for old motorcycles. I know that because when you are greeted at the front door by this incredibly tasty Vincent morsel... you are immediately aware that Ian has a passion for old motorcyles. And for those in the know drooling over this beauty, the level of technology and sophistication HRD Vincent had back then was incredible.

You're in awe and wondering what will happen next.

And then you spy this amazing twin drum brake setup out front of the next Vincent... at the front door!

Topped off with this magnificent instrument cluster and headlight nacelle!

Then you tear your eyes from these beauties, and look left into the shed (shed?)... and gasp!

And to think Triumph had an opportunity to work with the engineer responsible for these incredibly advanced designs, and turned him down. He actually built a V-4 for Triumph!

Just want to go on the record as saying, "if this is a boring old fart ride, then I'm sticking with it... awesome, awesome". And I reckon these guys agree!

JD rode the HD up from Narrogin. He said that he was happy to ride 400 km to see this. He would have ridden 4000 km if he had known just how important a collection Ian has up in Jurien Bay.
