As a big fan of Norton, Peter Williams, and general british parts bin rubbish, I am duty-bound to post this.

Spread the word, in case anyone has a spare, oooh, about 85k rattling about in a bank account...?

Honourable project from a good guy I think. Perhaps ambitious tho... Would it be eligible for classic racing? Possibly, but with a road-tune Commando engine, its not exactly going to be ballistic...

best wishes to all!

Much as it is pains, you don't want the old British tat. If you want retro & you want it right, then you need some of this;

I know, I know. Sadly true.

But I like the old British tat. You do have to WANT to own it tho, unlike either classic Jap stuff or modern retros (Bonnie, Duc, Guzzi etc) which is relatively easy to live with.

Funny isn't it, how the 70s/80s Jap bikes are now quite sought after and decidedly cool, but the same cannot really be said of their cars of the same era.

Thus we own Deloreans ?!?!?! :lol: WTF?!

Anyone here got Brit bikes??

Same goes for most makers I think now mate. It all goes to the lowest bidder. I think it's about as British as you can get now days.
