of a rope .
The Olde 60 Bonneville sorted it out though , just Jap parts feel off , footrests , tail lights and things . 8)
Pommy bikes have ' PRIMARY ' ( Good ) Vibration . hopefully .
Jap ones have ' Secondary ' Vibration .Yuk . Buzz , wobble , have incredably optimistic speedos and are undergeared for acceleration . How can you tell its a Yam. , not a Triumph . LISTEN , That sound , the Triumph'd be doing twice the speed .
The Norton , you probly wouldnt hear it, Till its past you . :wink:
:shock: :lol: :| :mrgreen:
did some research into the problems of the P-11, so heavy vibrators weren't absent from my work experience. That P-11 was the scariest ride I had all the time I was at N-V.

like to see youre T110 .
I see youve missed adding that masterpiece of engineering refinement , The CB 750 , to youre collection . :wink: :lol:
Dave, At 19 who cared? It was transport...to the girl friends, and who was bothered how you got there ?:roll:DogT said:The BSA B33 single 500 I had would shake your eyeballs out of your sockets at any speed. I drove it from Monterey to Santa Barbara and even Merced (Yosemite) and after 20 minutes in any direction my arms were asleep up to the elbows. When I got off, I had to grab hold of a telephone pole to stop shaking. You can do that when you're 19 or 20, not any more.

Riding the Norton makes riding feel right.mikegray660 said:i remember pushing a CB750 (my cousin's - i had hotwired it) for about 2 miles in my youth - (a big heavy brute that when it ran was personality-less) that was enough of an encounter to satisfy any need to acquire one
That's what I meant, at 19 you're invincible. I wish I still were.john robert bould said:Dave, At 19 who cared? It was transport...to the girl friends, and who was bothered how you got there ?:roll:
