Norton Other description

1972 Norton Commando, 31000 miles, I have a lot of repair orders for this bike that will go with it documenting upgrades over the years, such as new top end rebuild, new tires, tubes, wheels, clutch, seat, exhaust mufflers (Norton) etc. I just spent over $800 on having engine and trans removed and having all new isolastic mounts installed along with a new gel battery and new electronic ignition. Recent work was done by Bob Bancroft from Kinsman Ohio. Oil also changed, new plugs. Pipes are a 7 out of 10, back fender chrome is very dull, front fender is very shiny with one dull spot, tank needs repainted, one oil leak that is from the oiler for the chain, seems to be only drip. No rips in seat, dull Norton logo on back of seat. Wheels nice. Smith gages look nearly new and both work well, I believe I have a work order on those also. Headlight works Lot of mechanical repairs over the years documented. A good candidate for a cafĂ© project, or restoration or ride as is. I weigh 130 lbs and have a bad hip and can't kick start it so I have to use my bump starter so I can't really take it anywhere. Read the above defects and look at the pics if any questions email or call Tracy at 412 719 1617

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.
