On the subject of Indian motorcycles, if you haven't seen the documentary movie The Worlds Fastest Indian, you're missing a treat.  Anthony Hopkins plays the part of New Zealander Burt Munro's quest to set a land speed record on his 1920 Indian he modified with literally no money.

I second the recommendation... good flick!

I think that I remember reading that Lawrence of Arabia rode a Vincent. Not a real person, but a comic strip back in the 60's, Steve Roper/Mike Nomad, had Nomad on a Vincent in a couple strips. I believe Jay Leno has a Vincent or 2 in his collection. gypsyman
Lawrence of Arabia rode a Brough-Superior,British made with a 1000cc J.A.p motor. JAP stood for James A Prestwick.
