Hello the Commando 961 design was done by a bunch of kids for there engineering thesis in California technical college base on the old Commando and the only thing that is British on these Bikes I the Name Norton every thing on this bike has been made world wide in cluing china and even the screws and nuts and bolts made in china suspension made in Sweden the brakes made in Italy frame made in India and many other components So the only thing British is the Name of Norton on the Tank

@annajeannette I can't actually think of much worse that could happen on this forum than for you to start contributing.

I initially remembered your Anti 961 postings when I first was interested in purchasing one. After some time, I realized you were likely posting from a Ward.

5 topics per day on Chinese Titanium bolts would be a more welcome contribution than anything you could do with a keyboard beyond hit yourself with it and post a video.

Just not sure social standing would be top of that list for a group of greasy, lifelong, often contrary old bikers (no offence intended) with an average age of about 65.

My goodness, such micro aggressions:

You wrote: Old bikers. Should use: Mature gentlemen bikers.

For goodness sake, Anna has now appeared on the 'Access Norton website' after getting herself more or less banned from the NOC site for her attitude. Once again she is giving her opinion of the 961 which she has been ranting on about for many a year now . She was always opiniated about what constituted a 'real' Norton' but she really needs to let it go now it's getting tiresome and childish. Sometimes I wonder if she does it on purpose just to get a reaction.

Bugger. I've just seen the irony in my post.
