   see pictures number  5/6   I also have been careful not to spill fuel on the tank, i would advise the same
   As with many Nortons, the clutch plates stick when this bike sits, just pull in the clutch, put it in second or 3rd, rock it a few times and it    frees up and works perfectly
   there is a hairline crack in the primary chain case (pic 11), this happened many years before i got the bike, it has never been an issue, 
   There is  minor minor oxidation on a few areas of the wheel rims which can probably be removed if you are gentle.
   The kick starter hits the right pipe and has taken some paint off
   please note, this is a true cafe racer, it has no turn signals, horn or mirrors, just a headlight and tail light

 I welcome inspections in person, this is a Brit bike and shifts on the right side, GP style.



 Vehicle is for sale locally, i reserve the right to end this auction at any time.
 Call with questions,  Larry 917-861-8105   Thanks for looking

Price William The Duke Of Ducs And Other Motorcycles

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, visited Britain’s largest motorcycle show, Motorcycle Live, at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham. The visit saw the Duke astride numerous motorcycle models including UK icons Norton and Triumph as well as a Ducati 1199 Superleggera (one of the few men able to afford the $70,000 rarity). During his visit Prince William enjoyed a display of off-road riding – one of nine opportunities for visitors to ride at Motorcycle Live, eight of which are inside the halls of the NEC. He also met Dean Linehan, exhibitions director of MCI Exhibitions, the company that organizes the annual motorcycle exhibition.

Bonneville from a parallel universe

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

This is the Triumph Speed Twin Concept, a bike commissioned by Triumph to show what the Bonneville might have evolved into, in a parallel universe. I love the concept. Designed by Roy Norton and Tom Kasher who were on a placement at a design studio, I get the impression the pair are into motorcycle and not just designers.
