for those of you not in southern california,usa: this photo is of a vincent fuel tank in a
motorcycle shop-CENTURY MOTORCYCLES IN SAN PEDRO CALIFORNIA-this is very near
Los Angeles California. This old man (Bill Cotton) died a few years ago and wanted to be
cremated with his ashes placed in a Vincent fuel tank in his beloved motorcycle shop.
This is what his loving daughter in fact has done. Old Bill's ashes reside in this Vincent
fuel tank on a shelf in Century Motorcycles, San Pedro California,usa.
Cyndy Rutherford, Bill's surviving daughter and the current owner of the shop carries on
Old Bill's tradition of throwing a party twice a year. In june on fathers day and around the
first of December. I have been to many of these parties. This year the weather was very
bad, rain and cold, so not too many people showed up. Most years there are a couple of
hundred old bikes and old riders. Great fun!
Next year, Wesley Stark.
