I need to find a pic or two of my Norton
I want a Norton Commando 850, 1975ish, metallic blue and a single front disk. Maybe one day when I am older???
Yes, but try buying a good Tucker 48 these days. Kiss a million goodbye on a bargain - some people love 'em because of the positives Max mentions. Pity Preston Tucker didn't live long enough to cash in.
My uncle was killed on a Commando here on the coast about 45 years ago. My father banned motorcycle ownership and I kept my first two bikes at my friend's house. Norton was one of those "verboten" words and, like everything forbidden, the name has held a life-long capture on my imagination. Yes, I'd like one but a British one I think. Just like this!
What a dilemma before a ride,
"Let me see, the Norton or the XS .............. the Norton or the XS ................the Norton or............?
