    Beautiful bike, takes me back to growing up in Birmingham. Great days of the British motorbike industry. Had a 1961 Norton myself, but nothing as good as this!

    I can remember roaring off to work on one of these when I was 16. Goldie silencers of course

    She sounds tough! Bet she's a blast to ride. Especially love the unique tank strap!

    Absolutely lovely Dommie, much shinier than my 650SS ! - Speaking off the back of several unhappy hours spent trying to get my 'Oilbath' primary chaincase to be oiltight, that primary drive case conversion is a great improvement and looks much better too (although it's not unknown for the pre-MK3 Commando chaincase to leak a bit too !..)

    I owned a 1968 Norton Dominator with the Featherbed frame when I lived in Rhodesia. It was a wonderful bike and i have great memories of it.

    Very nice. A machine to be proud of. I like the primary chaincase modification that is very good.

    My ultimate dream bike. Nothing better anywhere IMHO. Major credit to these old timers keeping the Brit bikes alive, but it’s time for the younger generations to learn to appreciate them too!

    Beautiful craftsmanship 😎
    I have to make do with a '72 Daytona T100R
    blue/white stock peashooter pipes
    nothing beats the sound of a 360 verticle twin
    still have the stock Amal's with ticklers
    surprised the EPA hasn't hunted me down and flogged me 😏

    Potentially a stupid question (apologies) . What tyres are those? From the quick glimpse I could get in certain shots, I want to say Avon Roadriders, but I love the skinniness of them, and would love them for my little B25! (And maybe my Thunderbolt down the line).

    • @mrselk844
      @mrselk844 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They are Avon RoadRiders - a really nice tyre, I really rate them.

    That's a lot of cleaning.

  • @MrJulianneave
    @MrJulianneave ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool looking bike. But 2 days of polishing after getting rained on? Yikes! I think that'd put me off. I find it annoying enough to clean my RE interceptor after going through the rain and it doesn't have the difficulty of this.
