I own a 75 MKIII Norton. They are wonderful bikes. Wonderful!
They handle VERY well and are MUCH faster than one would think 55 or 60 HP would go.
Not only do I wonder what they will "go" for, I wonder what I'd be willing to give for one.

I'm wondering how much speedi-dri it takes to clean up after 11 'electro-leaks'.

It's true!
The guys from
American Pickers
went over to Europe and found all of them in a old, Belgian-redneck's polebarn.

all those dried out seals
potentially rusted bores from ambient environment in barn sanding down the rings
brand new yup
and probably will be smoking like JAWA 2-strokers inside of 50 miles
at a minimum top-end tear down before running
