Vincent owner goes pink for McGrath Foundation 'Man Month'

Terry Prince, a name familiar to many in the classic bike scene both here and abroad, was one of the many blokes who took part. For Prince, participating in Man Month was a given, as the NSW-based classic bike specialist lost his daughter, Silvana, to breast cancer last year.

The 74-year-old has campaigned his Vincent v-twin in just about every form of motorsport imaginable, including circuit racing, hillclimbs, drag racing, and more recently, land speed record runs, including several LSR attempts on the Bonneville Salt Falts.

After five years of trying, Prince finally achieved a Bonneville class record in 2013, but his fondest memory of the salt is from 2009, when Silvana accompanied him.

As a Man Month ambassador, Prince said "It's so important for all men, even the tough guys who love their motorbikes, to be aware that the women in their life need to be actively breast aware."

The McGrath Foundation says that around 15,000 women in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Further details on Man Month and breast cancer awareness can be found at www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au/manmonth
