Beautiful bike.

I have a picture from that same spot although it's not a bike.

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.

Not the same spot, but it's on my bike, and REAL CLOSE to the same spot...

hee hee

I used a set of Hinkley Bonnie "kink' adapters.

Yep, I guess you could say that Nortons have "grown on me", to the point that they are now neck-and-neck with Triumphs in my book (even though I have 19 Triumphs, but only 5 Nortons in the garage).

You only need one to win and that would be one of the Nortons and the first Triumph would come in sixth :mrgreen:
