I have 2 of these that have never seen a shop or those greasy hands that accompany. My mother rode her own 73' commando with her boyfriend who was a collector from Ohio who had about 30 Nortons the majority ran but a few were basket/parts bikes. He had to have a shop built to put them in. These spent their lives on her bookshelf till her death when I inherited them. Give'em Hell Mum!!

Nothing like the rumble of a Norton in the morning! (It must always be hoped it's not the main bearings tho!) ;)
