Hello MXMartin , Do you have a farm ?

No Tony, just a few acres tucked away before Mr Dyson bought the other few thousand around me.

(Mr Dyson being a very rich entrepreneur who is spending his fortune grabbing up as much English farmland as he can get his hands on, but he did't get my 4 acres

)

4 Acres must be really nice !

Well, Ducati rider on max points so being very careful to avoid a ban, and his wife is not a fast Guzzi rider....so no! Cheers Simon

Here's mine : I took off the side bags and am running the tail pack. I like to carry some tools , rain suit , exrtra gloves , spray cleaner and microfibre cloths for cleaning face shield and bike . I wonder if I should start a new thread " I finally have 15,000 miles on my Norton 961 " Running Strong !

Commendable, not keen on seeing one loaded like a mule but great to see one being used in earnest. Hat's off to you.

The 961 works well as a “ mule “ fully loaded & two up in 40 degree C

For "mule" read crossbred, strong, reliable but sorry, not my idea of what a bike is about, although I admire those that adventure on bikes still.

Here is my 961, I am one of the lucky seven to have a Mick Grant Special.

Ooh er missus. I bet that exhaust doesn't sound as stealthy as it looks.

I loved those from day one. Of course I would need the Sport Bars package .

Here's few pictures of Domi #39. Had recent handlebar conversion from the ill-fated Dominator Street parts bin.....reversible, but a better ride. Got a Domiracer front mudguard and throttle quadrant cover plus tail tidy & baffles from Sean R. Lot of warranty work dealt with extremely well by Norton (broken Megaphone pipe, oil issues following breather mod...) Now waiting to get it through the MoT test once this CV epidemic is over....

With mate's AM..

Handlebars...

Handlebars outside Norton workshop...

And as original...

N York Moors with Italians...

Love the pics. Your mate with the Aston isn't called Stuart something is he

?

Went for a blat up and down the Gold Coast today, got myself followed for a while as I opened her up in front of an unmarked car, they followed for a bit but must have gotten a call as they left me, my lucky day it seems.

Finally 1k can do a service and change the oil and filter, have to do the head torque and some mods to the crank case breather whilst the rocker covers off. Had been running without that AIC, unplugged the blanking today, hilarious for 10 mins as it spits and farts on one cylinder as well but to be honest after it warmed up she settled and was sweet above 3k. Will run her with the AIC off again next time to see how I prefer the ride. Other than that all the BOSCH ancillary's I bought including the genuine injectors are paying off. She didn't even belch oil after the ride so I'm guessing the one way anti wet sump valves are working again after pushing oil round her above 5k rpm.

She give's me that grin like a 16 year old with a hot girlfriend

Will try to get some pics of the Gold Coast in the background next time, some good spots up "The Panorama" Tallai , also need to catch up with the other Norton guys in the local once this COVID BS has settled.

A quick shakedown run to check silencer mounts, and to warm up chain ready for a lube. Sporting the white tank again

Carpark pics, apparently in QLD we can go out for a ride after Friday within 50 km from home. Looking forward to a ride and some pics with a better background.
