I will only admit that I’m a bit past my best before date , can still do the things necessary for a good life ,like ride & service the 2 Dukes left in shed along with keeping my car clean and faster …. Still missing my commando and have started counting the pennies I will need for next one …. I sold everything Norton related to buyer , books , tools , spars ,service supplies etc. next one will have to arrive pristine ….Old guys on Nortons currently on a flat track is what I was referring to.
Any sellers remorse ?

I don't want to get caught calling Dave and old guy, but yes, he still races the bike I was referring to in the 60+ class. Also Peter Wajda had a modified 750 commando on the track this year and I think he's over 70, and as far as I know Beno Rodi Is still getting after it with the AHRMA races. I'm not calling any of those fellas old though. Lets call them well seasoned and experiencedOld guys on Nortons currently on a flat track is what I was referring to.
I know we're supposed to live life with 'no regrets', but I doubt there's a petrolhead alive who hasn't got a few machines filed under the: 'never should have sold' banner....Any sellers remorse ? If you could turn back time would you
undo it ?

No ! Had lusted after Ducati GT1000 from moment laid eyes on that first example seen at dealer , that was ‘08 , took much longer to find “the one” than anticipated , no disappointments at all ! … as close to a classic Commando possible , only better brakes and a few more ponies with electric leg , however …..Any sellers remorse ?

Well that makes me glad Craig -I’ve always been of the mindset that once things have been thought through and the decision made move on because it was the best decision you could have made at the time . I have a great many interests and pastimes and for most of my life indulgence of one meant sacrifice of another . Only now can I afford a little of each .No !

When I feel nostalgic about machines I’ve sold, I tell myself there was a reason for selling and that probably has not changed. My ‘74 JPN was a cool bike to own. I like to ride what I own and this one is very uncomfortable.I know we're supposed to live life with 'no regrets', but I doubt there's a petrolhead alive who hasn't got a few machines filed under the: 'never should have sold' banner....
