To all I will never give up riding my beloved Norton coming up to 50 years of owning it from new in June this year, but it has gone through a big change in its early years with me converting it to the Featherbed frame in 1980, Featherbeds and Commandos are in my blood, the great handling of a Featherbed frame and the torque of a hot 850 Commando motor built for the Featherbed frame, might not be as smooth as a Commando but is pretty close with the crank balancing and other work done to my motor, I can see back with my mirror without it vibrating but my last ride my bar end mirror broke off from the mount the mount screw came lose and it whizzed past my mates head who was following me.
I also want to thank Paul (grandpaul) for the kind offer he has given me as well his friends, I am so over whelmed by his offer of getting back on the road with my Norton and with my new leg I be able to change gears the way it is set up and I am already looking where I be able to mount a good battery.
Many thanks to all my friends here, the biker life is a great life and I have been living the dream now for over 52 years and 50 years with my Norton, I have met and become friends with so many who share the same dream, well not so much a dream but a life style as my dreams come true with the good as well the bad but I never give up this road I have taken, friendships, mateships is the Aussie way and helping others in need has always been my way of life but now Debra and myself have been on the other end of needing help, so much support from everyone and from a lot of people we have never met in person, make our recovery so much better as well quicker as well, so much good in people and a big thank you from Debra and myself.
