Norton Commando description

This rare Commando is one(1) of four(4) bikes for sale from my collection, and is currently part of a two(2) month exhibit ending on 9/5/16 at The Stony Brook Museum Educational and Cultural Center in Stony Brook, New York. It was purchased by me in 1995 as a basket case and  underwent a 100% total restoration entailing every nut and bolt in the machine. The engine has been totally rebuilt (cases split) and rebuilt with all new internals, super-blend bearings, pistons, rings, valves, guides, springs, etc..   Internals were balanced, Boyer electronic ignition, new clutches, Transmission rebuilt, sprockets renewed, forks rebuilt with new seals and progressive springs. Newer version vernier adjustable isolastic suspension, new rims with S/S spokes, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, much re-chroming---a total rebuild/restoration that took many hours.

 All parts were purchased from Walridge Motors, Canada--the 'source' for OEM parts for British bikes. First registered in 1999 by me it has been ridden every year ( for a few hundred miles ) and continuously maintained. The original fuel tank is fiberglass and on the shelf with a correct alloy tank currently installed (shown in pictures) due to alcohol additives in gasoline. New Amal 930 Concentrics installed in June of 2016. This bike is quick, light, and handles wonderfully and has a great sound---it is worthy of the 'Snortin Norton' nickname.

A Norton Villiers 750 Commando Shop Manual and indoor full cover are included in this sale.

I'm on a Goodwood Revival comedown

Tue, 22 Sep 2009

I'm on a massive comedown after a great weekend at Goodwood Revival. The Revival relives the glory days of the 50s and 60s and that's not just marketing hype, almost everyone is dressed in perios clothing, the cars are all from 1948 to 1966 and the effort that goes into setting Goodwood up is incredible, even the burger vans are retro Citroens, the staff are dressed in period clothing and about the only thing not retro was the price of a bacon sarnie; £6.50, ouch! I only planned to go down on Friday, but I had such a good time I headed back on Sunday too.

At 50 years young, the 1993 500cc World Champion will be competing at the prestigious Suzuka 8-Hours in a few weeks, and he’s followed that up with the announcement he will be making his Goodwood Revival debut during the September 12-14 event on an iconic Manx Norton ‘Featherbed’. Schwantz, last raced on UK soil during the 1994 British 500cc Grand Prix at Donington Park, but will tackle the daunting Goodwood Motor Circuit this year in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, which will be run for bikes of 1951-54 period.

See Britain's land speed record hopeful at Race Retro 2010

Tue, 09 Mar 2010

SEE THE MACHINE that could propel Britain to a new motorcycle land speed world record at The Race Retro 2010 show, held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from 12th to 14th March. Almost a year has passed since Visordown broke the news of the planned UK assault on the land speed record - this coming August the Angelic Bulldog team travels to Bonneville, where it is hoping to smash the 400mph barrier and bring the motorcycle Land Speed Record back to the UK for the first time since 1937. The current record stands at 360.913mph over a kilometre.
