My people skills are just fine.

$!7,500 seems like alot of money but if I had it, I would somehow justify buying this Norton.   [bacon]

A fine example of a '75.

Thanks.

Close, my dad has had a similar Norton longer than I have been around. I grew up around them, so naturally, I wanted one.

I had to make a wiring harness from scratch. The stock one probably would of set the bike on fire.  ;D

And my personal favourite, the very pinnacle of British motorcycling.

The Quasar.









When I saw this, the first thing to come to mind were the light cycles from the original Tron.  ;D

My NotRun never leaked oil. Not once. And it had oil in the engine, trans & primary case too.   [laugh]  Clutch problems yes, but no leaks.  It helped make me a motorcycle mechanic by showing me how dumb I was. Miss that bike.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

It's a french frame and a french build but the motor is english (JAP)
