C'mon along for a ramble.
First off: This is all @2XSive fault.
About a year? Ago he mentioned in passing he had a line on a Norton in Florida. Ever the optimist i said hey I'd be interested. Months pass. In a brief interlude of sanity, I sold the commando project that was already on my lift.
I now have a TX750 that needs to go live at @desmoman900 temple of speed in Dalongea GA. But one bike does not make for much of a van trip.
Next up, a semi forlorn XS2 accidentally landed in the shed of ill repute.
HMM a little hinting and marketing later after @GLJ bows out. @BowlingSS finds room for one more "needs love orphan" in his spotless speedy build shop in Lawrenceville GA. With an excuse to visit @JRP01in Edison GA at the ready a trip is set. But seriously friends, return to The Great White North with an empty van?? Can't have THAT, a couple tugs on 2SXs chain and the norton is now in his trailer. A couple days of negotiating and the deal is made, JRP is in FLA for a rally with a trailer and room for "one more bike", he's picking up the commando at noon today. and tonight we meet at his place for the hand off. A couple pics with more to follow. and the Norton rebirth thread I promised @2XSive to document has begun.
Easy peasy right?
Stopped in Nashville on the way down to look at a gray market Toyota awd TD van...
chaves takes delivery on the TX750. even better than advertised?
Bill and I at the hand off of the XS2
At Stone Mountain GA NOW for some tourist stuff. Ugh pics on phone I'll straighten this up later.
