I have to go, there are people ringing up making offers for my (bike) but I just want to stay in tha garage all night.I will have to order a Hong Kong Garden Takeaway.
 
wow ! calm down chaps!!

Any NOC Club Members outthere?

Here in Japan its good riding good mountain roads, and a causeway(road running along side the pacfic Ocean .
 
Norton in Japan, I was a NOC member but let it lapse last year, as apart from the newsletter there wasn't much benefit to it out here in Hong Kong. By the way I think you are geographically my nearest Norton neighbour on this site. I do however know a guy at the Tokyo Peninsula Hotel who has a Commando.
 
plj850,

When you sell the bike you might just Scream....be careful, there might just be a carcass left, and then all you've got left is the 58th variety :)
 
Er', enough of this old codgers stuff!
Somebody's gonna smack your face, beat you until you drop.
Still got my Led Zep two.
All on vinyl, none of this digiral crap. (well some of it is.)
 
Ah, Mr Cookie, well done.

I'm wiring and you prompted me to play LZ.
Much more enjoyable with some good music.

Graeme.
 
Same as that....but I've broken 2 cranks in a year, so I've had to bite the bullet and order a Maney one....so the only original Norton bits left are the oil pump and the head casting......At least it should be able to hold together and might last now :)
 
Grand dad's axe,,,,

Vinyl to CD to Ipod, (whatever that is)

Norton cranks and cams to Maney and Tighe.

How did you break 2 cranks? Too much fun?
 
Kind of....thats racing!! Luckily both cracked across big end journals, the first one on the drive side, second on the timing side, but did no other damage, so relatively lucky escape. The only problem with these things, is that you dopn't know what happened to it in the 35 years since it was made. At least Maney's ones are forged, and new and if they last in his own motors, hopefully they'll last in my 750 which only has 70bhp!!
 
Sure is! I'm trying out a new short stroke at the next meeting, then thats it for this year!!
 
Since the whole thing barely held together with Combat tuning when you take it racing you are going to change some parts, at this point it is like racing your grandmother.
Don't forget Pink Floyd when repairing Nortons, they respond well to that.
 
Hey you!, it will be like a new machine with that motor, high hopes. Hope it doesn't leave you marooned or you will have to take it back.
 
Like a Silver Machine :)...(no, NOT Silver Dream Racer......that's just sad!!)

If it runs like a Highway star, then I'll be Space Truckin'.....Wheels of Steel :)
 
What? A bit like this?
