I think the Union Flag might predate the stars & stripes by a bit...

Lovely bunch of bikes.
Illusion, or is that pipe a bit too blue?

Hello all,

thought I need to register on this great forum and pay the fee as a Vip member. So I can give just a small amount back, for the technical input which was very helpfull to complete the resto of my FB.

Its a Fastback MKIII from 1971. Matching numbers 153xxx. I purchased it two years ago from a belgium classic bike dealer. Mostly italian bikes. The Norton was the only british bike he had and he wasn't much interested in. So I thought I need to give her a reasonable home.

WIthin the last thirty years I already played a lot with different britbikes, BSAs and Triumphs but I always had an eye on a Commando. Since I completed her I made already 3tkm without any trouble and enjoy her very much.

There are two pics..before and after the restoration.View attachment 116976View attachment 116977

At '67, I CAN still ride it, but it's tiresome after 30 minutes unless it's highway miles. Not bad at all on the highway.
