   see pictures number  5/6   I also have been careful not to spill fuel on the tank, i would advise the same
   As with many Nortons, the clutch plates stick when this bike sits, just pull in the clutch, put it in second or 3rd, rock it a few times and it    frees up and works perfectly
   there is a hairline crack in the primary chain case (pic 11), this happened many years before i got the bike, it has never been an issue, 
   There is  minor minor oxidation on a few areas of the wheel rims which can probably be removed if you are gentle.
   The kick starter hits the right pipe and has taken some paint off
   please note, this is a true cafe racer, it has no turn signals, horn or mirrors, just a headlight and tail light

 I welcome inspections in person, this is a Brit bike and shifts on the right side, GP style.



 Vehicle is for sale locally, i reserve the right to end this auction at any time.
 Call with questions,  Larry 917-861-8105   Thanks for looking

Tue, 09 Mar 2010

SEE THE MACHINE that could propel Britain to a new motorcycle land speed world record at The Race Retro 2010 show, held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from 12th to 14th March. Almost a year has passed since Visordown broke the news of the planned UK assault on the land speed record - this coming August the Angelic Bulldog team travels to Bonneville, where it is hoping to smash the 400mph barrier and bring the motorcycle Land Speed Record back to the UK for the first time since 1937. The current record stands at 360.913mph over a kilometre.

One Week

Thu, 05 Mar 2009

Get the Flash Player to see this player. Short Synopsis: When a young man is confronted with his mortality, he takes a cross-country road trip on a vintage motorcycle (a Norton Commando). One Week tells the story of Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson), in his mid-twenties, who flees from the confines of his life—an impending marriage, a job he’s not entirely happy with and a recent diagnosis—in order to attempt to live more fully.
