There is a saying here, "When the Big Money moves in the nice people move out".. and that applies to all situations not just motorcycles.
As for Vincents, as a veteran of the BSAOC of Southern California back in the days when the late great and dearly departed Barry M L Smith ran the show, a few Vincent guys rode with us on our club outings, and IMHO all of the Vincent snobs were highly suspect at best and outright tossers at worst. In fact, I still recall a particularly good "tosser" joke from one of the Vincent miscreants and will gladly recite it when plied with enough inebriant in company. After all, who could be proud and willing to pay a lifetime's fortune to own a marque designed by a guy who knew nothing at all about motorcycles...?? except perhaps for a wealthy and sometimes dishonest oligarch enriched by ill-gotten gains of course.
As for Farrow or whatever his name is who could take anyone seriously who wears a d*ckhead hat emblazoned by a commie red star while smoking a cigar and holding a tin of vaseline in hand while allowing his picture to be taken?
On the subject of Rex's taxes, most taxes here in yankland go to the evil empire's War Machine which I have gone to great personal lengths and sacrifice to DE-fund, and there is only one way to do that at a personal level.
