Quite an interesting story about Vivien Neves...I googled and found an article where her sister details Vivien's life...it would actually make a pretty decent movie.
Anyone have the names of some of the other girls who modelled in those print ads of the 70's ? Or any interesting stories of the photo shoots?

No Norton pics, but classic Vivien.

she died at 55 after battling MS for decades.

Although artistic shots, not sure how LAB will react to a link to nudes. I'm sure he'll take a "few" minutes to review the evidence. I know I'm going to. At least put a warning in your post.
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.

Is Vivian the one from the "Temptation" ad of circa 73? She looks it.

Pretty woman, for sure, in any event. Tragic that her life was cut so short.

As Vivien Neves is part of Norton Commando history, I think we can keep that particular link!

Actually, I had already "reviewed" that web page (and read the Vivien Neves story) some while ago! :wink:
