Vincent All description

Offering up a pair of dead stock, completely unworn vintage rockabilly shoes, these are from the 1950's and not repro's! They are sized a 12D, but I'd say they fit more like a size 11 by today's standard, they are quite narrow fitting, so if you've got feet like table tennis bats these won't work for ya! These bad boys come in a nice chocolate brown color with leather soles and uppers. Rockabilly star Gene Vincent can be seen wearing these in tons of online photos, his band the Blue Caps are also wearing them in a lot of pics. The insoles have long gone (they always curl up like bacon and get lost) but grab a set from your local pharmacy, pop them in and you're ready to bop! Although there's no label I believe these were made by the "Calumet" company. It's unbelievable that the soles of these kicks haven't touched a floor in 60 years!!
Tough ones to find..especially in this unworn mint condition!

International bidders please wait for my invoice!

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Behind the “Bathing Suit” Picture

Fri, 09 Jan 2009

Few motorcycle photographs are as iconic as that of the famous Bonneville “Bathing Suit Picture.” While you have undoubtedly seen this image before, you may not know the story behind it. The scantily clad and debatably crazy rider was a man by the name of Roland “Rollie” Free. The bike, often thought by many to be a Vincent Black Shadow, was in fact a Black Lightning – the fastest Vincent ever to see production.

Video: 180bhp N2O injected Vincent

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

The Greek God Epithemeus - the name of this three-wheeled, 180bhp Vincent record breaker - was the brother of Prometheus. Epithemeus (meaning afterthought) was the creator of many dangerous, ill thought-out beasts. Unlike his dilligent brother, Epithemeus was a bit of a f**kwit who threw everything at his powerful new animal creations with little thought of the consequences. A perfect name, then.

The New Age Of Custom Motorcycles – Video

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

In a world where modern motorcycles are full of computers, sensors and plastic, there are still those folks who yearn for the days of yore. A time when motorcycles were made of metal and you used a wrench — not a keyboard — to make your bike go faster. Careful and skilled craftsmanship, along with independent thinking, is a mark of pride among these men and their machines, some of whom are featured in the video below by Gestalten.tv.
