No Respect

Found these at Forest Hills Chase the other day. Being modelled here by um, the Norton.

Should have bought the whole range to stop them being purchased as fashion statements by those that don't have a Norton.
Grrrrrrrrr! No respect.
Cheers,
Dave.

I don't get it.
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.

Dave, no problem!
I think a lot of members post in the Norton Commando section purely out of habit, so if I see a post that I consider to be too far off-topic, I just move it to the relevant section. :wink:

Yep, didn't think. Thanks.

Bike's just about 100% and ready to get re-registered. Done so much detail work on it since my last report. Will I have to hand in these T shirts if I sell the bike?
Y'know, although I've got the Pantah lined-up for resto next, I'd really like to do another Norton. How strange is that? I really must get more time on this forum. I spend too much time on TWF with day-to-day riding issues and not enough time with the great people and bikes here.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hello Dave, with the dramas you've had with your Norton you should get more than a couple of tee shirts!
And don't forget to post Pantah pics.

I think wearing clothing with a logo raises awareness of the marque.

I was moving my son into college last year, and another dad remarked how much he liked my 'Norton' shirt (BRG with gold logo). He then asked if I worked for Norton, and if I knew when their next anti-virus was coming out.


I replied that Norton was actually a British motorcycle make, like Vincent (blank stare), Matchless (blank stare), BSA (blank stare) and Triumph (eyes light up).

I have Ducati, Guzzi, and BSA shirts, but currently don't have any - and I wear them anyway.
Life is too short for cheap beer!
