Norton Commando description

OK, I've owned this bike for 39 years, bought in 1977 and I need to pass it on. The bike has a Boyer ignition, Mikuni VM 34 carb with a 240 pilot, Barnett clutch, non-sumping valve, fairly new Metzler tires, chain and everything else you see in the pictures including 39 years worth of spare parts and manuals.  I had the top end done, the tires and chain maybe 500 miles ago; battery is to spec and two years old. As a younger man I've had the bike up to Jersey a few times, "tried" to outrun a Georgia state trooper back in the day and, well you guys can imagine the rest. I'm a semi-retired mining engineer and my body just doesn't cooperate like it used to so there you go. I know the bike inside and out and it is in great form; no runs, drips or errors.  Sure, I coulda' washed it before I took the pics but just didn't feel like it.  Some of the parts are new, used and/or original to this bike, i.e., from the dual Amal configuration and other modifications. I had also rebuilt a sister to this bike which I sold to a chap in New Zealand a few years ago which also increased the parts inventory. Any questions, let me know.

Some motorcycles bite, particularly those with a kick starter. Kick starter levers sometimes “kick back” as any past or current owner of a bike with a kicker will attest. But what would you do if you discovered your bike really wanted to get you?
