The only R1 owner who will be threatened by a Norton , will be in his late /early seventies ,who considered a R1 as a 100 things to do... observes the speed limit ,and wonders what all the big numbers on the speedo mean. "surly not MPH"! Goe's out when the missus let's him...normally after he as cut the lawn..and his wife is having a hour coffe with her sister.
This guy will have a 1/2 pint and watch is watch . not to be back to late.
Then there is the other R1 owner, 25 ish. many points. new carbon knee sliders, loud pipe...considers 100 mph as a personal insult..goe's off to world Super Bikes..swills a few pints and swears alot!...Now donna go mixing it with him!

Well maybe quite a few, a lot of fast jap bike riders where I live are crap and a good Commando/Trident/Bonnie pilot can seriously embarrass them.

The Fullauto is the best head ever made for a Commando Mark. With a changed cam and increased compression, I can't easily single out specifically the improvements achieved by the head alone. But I can report on overall performance improvement.

This is a perfect example, Phil. You just learned of the existence of a Fullauto head a few weeks ago and now you are the expert and imply firsthand experience.

From May 24th

So if you come across an RH10 head out in the Ozark paddocks. Please let me know.
If anyone is still reading this, there are two 850 heads made in Australia sitting in a Brisbane bike shop, $2675 each.
The man said they were designed for maximum performance. But the man didn't know what an RH10 or RH4 head was.
Didn't seem to want to know either. So I have no idea what they are or intended to be. I've never heard of an Australian made Norton 850 head.

Has anyone else?

You consistently make false statements about anybody who may comment simply to get a rise.
You drop names as if they were your life long mates.

You have this fancy new toy to show off for all the envy, you hope. You remind me of Eric Cartman, obstinate, stubborn and blind to reality.

Your hypothetical crap serves no one but your incredible ego.

Let's be clear, my comments concerning you are what I think and what i feel and are based totally on your content and is my opinion of it. I know nothing except for what I "think" and "feel". I think and feel I’ve got your number.

You "seem" to be the kind of person who cannot help but stick their crap out when and where ever possible, a BS artist to say the least. I am sure I am neither the first nor the last to call you on it.
But as mentioned earlier, I feel you are oblivious.
So in this regard we will say that this response/explanation is for the rest of the membership.

In conclusion and in so many words i have mentioned this before, IMHO, I think and feel that you have a damaging effect on the respectability and integrity of Access Norton. Money donated to Jerry for the refund of your VIP membership would be money well spent.

Sure, I could push the magic button, like I do with JimC :D, but you would still be there wouldn't you.

I thought for a moment this morning that the gods wacked you. but here you are.

If and when you are gone, there will be this sick dysfunctional void for a week or so, but this too shall pass.

I suspect this thread too will soon to be locked and deleted.

If you find any misspelled word, feel free to eat them.

You asked for it.

Disclaimer,
There are some who would like to see me go away too. Everybody will rub somebody the wrong way at some point.

Do you know of a better head than the Fullauto?
Like most interested folk would do, I researched the matter in discussion with appropriate people. You would know who I mean.
So hopefully that clears your confusion.

I am not going to enter into a childish tit for tat response like yours. You expressed similar views in a PM to me about another personality on this forum. Not the place for it pete. I don't dislike anyone in this forum, you included.

Perhaps if you made it clear that your comments are "your opinion" I would not have needed to ask you the question in the first place. It is unfortunate that it became necessary for me to do so.

Hopefully you have gotten things off your chest with your tirade of abuse.
Can we now move on?

BRG FASFBACK not dead only slightly wounded!
Took the old lady for a dyno run for her birthday, 45 yo. And she put out 40.97 hp.I haven't been this chuffed since my
Grandpa gave me a collie pup.

So phil yates get that red whipper snapper on the dyno and see how many more horses you have ,than the old 750?

It wouldn't be a fair comparison, mine is only 800 miles old since "new" i.e. rebuild.
Suffice to say I'm sure it would make an R1 look very sick indeed.
But it would be an interesting comparison wouldn't it? A before and after hp figure, regarding its soon to be done performance upgrade. Only thing is, I wouldn't like sitting there watching it revving hard on the dyno. 4000rpm is usually sufficient to blow most Japo Crapo into the weeds. Above that, it might blow itself into the weeds (in the backyard).

My Japo Crapo made 99.09 H.P and 101 Lbs. torque last January.
I don't think that my Mk3 will ever do that, even with a fullauto head.

I don't think mine would either Mark.
Not even with two engines in it.

But I'm not going to say that on a Commando forum.
These things are family secrets.

perhaps it does not bother anyone but me, but the use of the term "jap" or jap crappo, etc,

is pretty darn insulting to an entire nation, race, and ethnicity

It is like calling Mexicans "wet backs' or Puerto Ricans "spicks"

It is insulting to those of who happen to be either Japanese or married to a Japanese spouse

it is hurtfull, and it is ignorant, arrogant

although I am only one voice expressing just my opinion, can we knock off that kind of language please?

in case you didn't know, there are many good reasons the Japanese almost singlehandedly ended the British motorcycle industry in the 70s, they build better products, much better, and certainly not "crap"

in fact, a very compelling argument can be made that Norton, BSA, and Triumph made "crap" back then

I'm amazed how many folk in here want to come out and bat for a Japo Crapo.
Now I understand the need for an alias.

Don't be amazed. Perhaps it's because you are annoying people who own a Japanese bike, or like Japanese Bikes?

Or maybe you are just annoying.

Totally agree. Had the British motorcycle manufactures had one tenth of the sense the Japanese motorcycle manufactures have, Yamaha would be known for making pianos.

This forum is deteriorating. It's less about Norton tech and more about personal stories, insults and ridiculous performance boasts. Time to clean it up, Les.

That is quite true 1-up.

Although I have to say that my good lady wife, from Japan, would most likely not be offended. Her philosophy is it is those making such remarks which who show their inadequacies.
 
Had a great ride up to the city on my 69 fastback. It was raining and the roads were wet ,took it easy never above 75mph
When I got to the dyno test station met so guys I knew ,we exchanged pleasantries and I had my bike dynoed.
It showed that There was an electrical problem. I then retuned home.
BRG FASTBACK alive and well!

Please mister can I have my ball back!

I don't think it would be appropriate to call a person a Japo Crapo.
We are talking about machines here, not humans or nationalities.
Opinions on Jap bikes versus Brit bikes vary. My local bike shop refer to my Norton
as Pommy shit. I don't think of them as inadequate.

Mine didn't die, it just didn't eventuate, the project died.
All my Nortons have been BRG, my MkIII is the first one not.
But as someone pointed out, red goes faster than green anyway.
I can't tell the difference.

I agree, Jim

I read this forum because of Commando content...

and not because I am interested in any poster's relationship with their wife or ex girl friends

not because I am interested in how many times they stopped at the pub to drink some more alcohol


Les, I join Jim in asking you to move all teenage personal social media chat "crap" to some other forum section
 
+1 on that, I dont mind old bike stories , after all this forum as covered about all Norton issues. as long as the stories are entertaining! Come on LAB ..time for reform.

Yes, I agree, the bickering is beginning to get out of hand, and the regular off-topic drifting that results from it isn't doing the forum any good, so it looks as if I will have to put a stop to it unless things improve. :|
 
Perhaps those who don't like some of the less than technical threads could restrain them selves from reading them [ like some teenage sticky beak constantly following the face book page of their arch enemy], there is plenty of technical threads running. Owning a Norton is not just about sitting in the garage tinkering with them and sorting out problems, its about the fun of riding them and having a bit of light hearted banter. Some of these guys take them selves too seriously. I sold my Japanese manufactured hugely powerful, technical mastery, soul lacking bike [ previously referred to, but not any more, as Japo Crappo] that got ridden once every 2 months and replaced it with a Commando, and I love it. Now riding daily and just enjoy the still unmatched cornering pleasure this Bike offers and the whole unique pleasure of rumbling down the road on this Big British twin. Takes me back to my teen years and at my age thats a great thing.
 
I haven't terms like Japo Crapo and Pommie used for years, Phils posts are like a snapshot of the 70's when men went to the pub, women stayed at home, Japanese products were seen as poor quality, and Geoff Whitlam was PM.
Haven't heard the Kiwi sheep jokes since I lived in Sudknee in the 80's.
Maybe time has stopped at the Willwallahbethere pub.
I've added in a translation sheet.

Maybe there could be a section for lawn mowers also or dare I say a Open Forum for signed in members.
There is some self governing expected in general ?
