It was in the MCN yesterday that this Alain de Cadenet recently wrote off his Vincent HRD Black Shadow after hitting a pothole in California.
He was pretty gutted at trashing his £35,000 piece Classic exotica.
What really cheered him up was that the paramedics decided to cut off his leather jacket even though he only had a fractured wrist.
The leather jacket had been given to his mother as a present.....by Marlon Brando.
Not a good day.

£35k for a Black Shadow seems a bit on the high side to me. Is he working an insurance fiddle?
How about this for the "how
much" stakes?

Depends if your buying from a good dealer or from Atlantic Motorcycles.
Those thieving gits have taken the mick out of classic bike prices. They even advertised a BSA B31 for £4000. They are rip off merchants that bump up the prices to sell to the states.
I reckon on £18-25k for a Black Shadow depending on cond.
My dad gave away a Series B rapide to a friend of his in 1956, he's been kicking himself ever since.
