Great link, thanks for sharing. Know the tune and know Richard Thompson, but never heard that version, good stuff.

We installed a 1953 Vincent Lightning in a Museum show on 1950's history. Unlike most of the objects in the show that came crated and packed carefully, the owner showed up with the Bike on the loading dock and we just rolled it through the downstairs galleries and into the elevator. The look on the staff's face when the elevator opened and the Preparator came rolling out on the Vincent was priceless, he sat on it and steered as we pushed him into the upstairs gallery. There was a story/rumor that the owner (who was also the architect of the building) had ridden the Vincent over the (sort of pyramid shaped) building right after it was completed, if true it would have been quite a thing to witness.
