Hi Everybody,
Many thanks for allowing me to join this very informative forum.
Having owned a multitude of Japanese and Italian motorcycles, (during the past 50 years or so), I thought it was high time to purchase a classic British Norton motorcycle.
After a great deal of searching I came across a 'hybrid' 850 Norton that has been professionally built back in the 90's and it is still in stunning condition today.
It has been built around the Featherbed frame, (dating back to my birth year - 1959), but the engine is from a much later, (mid 1970's), Commando complete with later gearbox and belt drive.
All of the alloy and chrome is spotless and it has the aluminium 'Manx' petrol and oil tanks and she has the Robinson 4 Leader front drum assembly.
I am hoping to pick her up tomorrow afternoon and then ride it home, (approximately 115 miles), whilst trying to avoid any rain!
Wish me luck!
Regards,
Martian.
