  • AMCA Library Service

    G'day fellas.
    Just been looking at the library downloads specifically for Vincent information, and there's none listed. In fact, there's next to nil British bikes provided for.
    Why wouldn't the AMCA have any info on British bikes as there were so many brought into the US, and they even set World speed records there.
    This isn't meant as a complaint against the AMCA, just an observation.
    Are British Marque owners less generous with their publications that they won't share them with the members (i.e offer to have manuals etc scanned) unlike the American Marque owners??? Or are there just so few members of this organisation that are British bike owners?
    It's possibly the same as the British produced bike mags focusing on the British product, and the American primarily focusing on the American product.
    Interesting.

    Us Brit-bike folks seem to be the red-headed stepchildren of the AMCA, for data I would suggest that you talk to the folks at the VOC or Ron Kemp. Incidentally I got wound-up when I saw your username as I live very close to Baytown, Texas.

    Good luck.

      I would expect you gents are donating copies of what you have.

        G'day Vince.
        Thanks for the tip. I'll look them up. I've recently joined up to a few Vincent web groups and ordered a few books from Amazon. I'm developing an interest in these bikes after having a locally owned Black Shadow displayed beside my 47 Chief at a recent show.
        Re Baytown, I used to live in a street called Baytown Close at a little coastal town in Oz years ago.

        Best wishes mate.
