Looks good Vincent, just make sure to slap a Maddass brake kit on the front and then you are good to go (and stop) :D

Kerba, I'm gad to see this cool to me Commando back in decent roadworthy condition and sorry its a point of friction to those who don't seem to ever ridden a bobber/chopper. It ain't like your friend molested a child or animal more like saved a cripple with polio so only taste buds recoil at the fit and finish, which I can appreciate with some disgust too having had to ride around on bars, fender, tank and levers and lens bashed pulled bent back to ride with obvious road scars. For a few seasons I rode my favorite Combat with a big band aid over the Graveled texture of speedometer. There's 10's of 1000's of these in normal configurations so I love to see the more extreme variations that both make me both shake me head and nod in approval taking it all in. I bet no one could tell it from their own ride handling but the way they had to sit on it and likely a bit more spunk paired down some lbs. I expect my dream machine to elicit similar family feuds but I know how its going to make me feel so will savor the extra attention.
 
Vincent, you will find some people on this forum with very narrow minds and some that might be a little too open. Just like life… funny that. I posted this because I knew it would get comments from both crowds. :mrgreen:

While it's not my style I thought it was extremely well done compared to some of the crap out there, some samples which were posted here.
 
I think its a great bike! It's the right colors and it's a Norton. I'll ride the shit out of any bike so long as its got two wheels and burns dinosaur bones.
 
It just keeps getting better.

Awesome lights:

And the Barbie primer button is priceless:

But it's all about what you like and individuality :D
 
Will someone send that sax cycle to Jim Schimdt. Rather extremes expressions shown above and love to view them and reflect on the state of mind and motivations even if I wouldn't want one. Glad there is no law yet against out of the ordinary on motorcraft.

Those bikes show that you can do anything you want because it is your bike. We can have opinions but it's still up to the owner what he does...some of them are just plain funny though:

Wow Dennis the beer barrel harley even has leather wrapped shocks, cool. I love it and could use on beach and over mud better than what any of us have.
Naked wayward dolls is a nice touch to see too.
I'm not far from that level of building, Ms Peel 3 alternator wires were house hold wire nutted together and water proofed by a plastic dino cracking out its shell.

Ms Peel has a copilot inside the cock pit of a toy Yellow Squid Hunter Submarine for gosh sakes. Tinted screen is hinged to pop open to view and feed him. Water jet cannon to slice/dice soft bodied small brained jet propelled squids. There are 4 decks total filled with functional equipment for more funny stuff on Peel.

That little sub guy is cool :D

I found the perfect comfort ride...bet a guy could drive 100's of miles on this one :shock:

I see those over head ape hangers now and then, they tell me the action is all in the hips. I'm leaving Peels ughly ole stem plate as is and some the frame braces in rusted original just to rub in how crude I am down deep. I took photos of a rat bobbed bike recently with shaft drive and tractor parts for lights, and strange headers aim, may load em here. I like steam punk which comes in refined to trashy scale. Of course one can't completely discount mental illness so my schizo parts says if ya find something ya really like, get two...

This looks like another "well I've finished my latest project now I need to move it on so I can get to work on my next **ck up, I mean classy project."

Find out who he is and don't let him buy another Norton.

I know a guy who bought an 850 Hi rider brand new in 73/74 , he actually still has it (although it's been in bits for a long time, but won't sell it )
Same guy rides his Harley in sandals (In England) and has been known to avail himself of the odd illegal substance :shock:
err, -------- make that 40 years of said substances.
