I've been working on my septic system and just couldn't pass on this setup.

Nice. This is like two photos in one. It is well composed.

Nice pic of an almost too nice Norton. I had 3 Commandos over time. I know them inside out, my prefered model was the same engine and transmission, bolted upright as Matchless G15CSR, better handling. Now I prefer my rigid mount Sporty for the same reason.

Also owned and rode 2 Norton Electras, but they proved to be bad handling bikes, yet very beautiful. One white, one black. I made my G15 all white, all stock with Dunstall headers. I have regretted selling it for 45 years.



I guess we both love bikes and photography.

This was a 2 year restoration from 4 boxes. The previous owner took it apart 'completely' in 1999 and abandonned the project. A lot of parts were missing and i bought new ones. I was ridden in gravel and had lots of aluminium damage. So i had to decide, do i leave it nasty looking with some shiny new parts or do I bring i back to its former glory? So i'm happy with what it looks now. I completely overhauled every engine and transmission component, carbs etc... anyway 2 winters worth of tinkering so i could ride it daily.

I know all too well what a 100 pt restoration takes. Never again! Last one I did was 25 years ago, 1967 BSA Lightning. I gladly sold it 3 years ago, to a guy who won't even wash it...

He did just buy the same tires you have on your Norton, on my recommendation. I bet I have to loan tire irons....

I am really happy with ONE 1997 Sportster, 2 into 1 quiet stock pipe, reliable, parts and repair shops everywhere and did I say reliable!

I sold a bike last week, now only the one, for the first time in my life having only one bike. I have owned, titled, restored and ridden over 200 bikes, my buyer a nice guy my age of 65 told me he has turned 600 bikes. He told me keep him in mind. He does only old English bikes. So it goes.

Ahh yes, reliable, LOL... You need mechanical skills for these old bikes.
