Lovely stuff.
Gee I'd like to here that P11 just under valve bounce.

My room is very basic and dated.It has been attended and fresh towels supplied daily so no complaints here.
My room comes with meals included and everything has been fine so far.

A few more pics
See you CAN fit a Norton in a compact
Lots of interesting modifications on this one, starting with the pipes. It is easy to see this guy is a good welder, the welds are flawless.

Be sure to find the American Norton folks, stop by and say hi. No, I'm not there. 
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

A pair of nice yellow roadsters
A superb Fastback, even my very critical friend could not find anything to say about this one, everything was just perfect, no I take it back, he said it was a shame the paint was not original
I think this is norbsa's bike, there can't be more than one Fastback with everything in aluminium
Now this is an interesting bike from the UK, the forks appear to be the top part of Norton lowers fork legs mated to the bottom part of Japanese lower fork legs. Maybe they had an interference fit or they were epoxied together, but it is slick since no adapter brackets are needed for the calipers. I didn't take a picture of it, but he had made his own hydraulic clutch.
He added an oil filter to the back of the "hump" of the timing cover
