[pumps]

If you haven't seen this, it is rather interesting. Some old collector had 11 new 1975 Electric start Nortons still in their crates, a Matchless too. Lots of pictures in the auction link at the end of the story.

Cool , if I had the money I would buy a couple. I 'd leave one in the crate , the other I would put in service. Never owned a brand new bike, This would be a good one to start with.

Or a triple engined Norton.

Speechless!

When I saw the picture of the double engined Norton it reminded me of the Hogslayer, didn't remember it as a triple engine, and never seen a picture of it in the workshop before.

This is Hogslayer II It saw only limited track time. The double engine Hogslayer is in a museum in England. This bike is in a city near me that photo was shot last fall. I believe TC has passed on. Buddy of mine saw TC crank this thing up and do a burnout run in a California Park.
