A big shout out goes to the dedicated crew who often work 16 hours a day to keep our Vincent fleet rolling. This group, all dedicated motorcyclists themselves, do the following:
- Inspect and service the Vincents every evening.
- Load, secure, unload, and drive the support trucks and trailers.
- Haul our luggage, tools, spare parts, and backup bikes.
- Fetch supplies including gas, oil, cleaners, tools, and personal request items.
- Set up the workshop every day. negotiate parking spaces at the hotels.
- Connect the power, generators, compressors and work lights
- Pick up room keys and deliver them to the riders as they arrive.
- Set up, dismantle, and transport canopies, tables and chairs every day
- Haul the refreshments and keep them well-stocked and iced.
Every day, tired riders roll in, hand over their bikes, report any issues, and go to their rooms to freshen up. Everything is ready for their comfort and relaxation: snacks, wine and beer, water, music... This is all done with smiles, jokes, and incredible patience. Imagine arriving every night to be greeted this way. Unbelievable. But that is exactly what these merry men do day after day.
