On my way to the Mitta for a beer with the boys. I had to borrow the Triumph cos Mary was doing burn outs on the Fastback in her driveway. I thought the Triumph handling was shite with its 18" rear wheel.

That's hobot on my left, still showing the pain of a tree falling on him at 300mph.

Some one told me it must be Jen on the back, but I know better....she's young and pretty. That must be your mother (or mum)...

BTW...does anybody know what that fat boy's last words were before he put that Hinneyda on its silencers? They were..."Hey y'all, watch this!"
 
Major Dummy Spit??

I think I'd better explain this one to our American friends (not that I've got any…cept Cap't Rocket Ship living in LA).

When a baby has a tantrum and starts screaming uncontrollably, he spits out his dummy in the process….hence a dummy spit.
If it's a serious tantrum, it's known as major. Hence a major dummy spit.

Now let's see if Cap't Rocket Ship is going to have another major dummy spit!

Jen took the picture.
Then took it to the police and had me arrested for riding on the side walk.
She sold my house, Nortons and clothes line.
Haven't seen her since.
Sorry, that was my ex wife took the picture!
She didn't sell anything, she kept it all and left me a tooth brush, later wanting payment for it!
You have to laugh, otherwise you'd cry…….uncontrollably!!

Those two seem to get around a lot. Here they were seen at a local Wal-Mart store (redneck superstore):

I think I finally got my high-speed handling issues sorted out; hanging a cow skull on the handlebars adds enough mass to drop the cyclic rate down to where the oscillations are out of sync with the imbalance of the front wheel assembly. That, and using the pillion to shift the CG further back adds to the ability to more easily loft the front end when crossing logs.

I would have replied earlier, but Steve and I were trimming the hedge with Phil's turbo-charged V8 two stroke Victa mower. Thanks, Phil!

I love the BRG Norton trike with beefed up frame, ceriani forks and TT100 up front.

So you've got my Victa mower!
I thought local hooligans must have pinched it for the up and coming Bong Bong Picnic Races. Google it.

Hi

Just to get back on thread here. In snowy weather it is advisable to drop tyre pressures and ride in a higher gear .

But most importantly remember where you left the bike!

Bend over a bit more phil...............stop there , I can see the keyring now!

That's a big piece of firewood. But he's home safely thank god. I don't ever remember his bike looking in such top condition.

The WORST dummy spit is the silent type.
Highly dangerous!!
Like when your girlfriend doesn't speak to you for a week or more, the likely ailment is a MAJOR MAJOR dummy spit.
But it's really safer not to ask!!

Hi, back to thread please!

Phil took his bike to olChris to have his rear wheels swapped over

But olChris only wanted to show off his new tats!

Unfortunately Phil was in a hurry and didn't fancy an interview with M.C.N

Then the classic motorcycle mechanics crew arrived, balls on the slates.

It was nothing short of savage. I went over there with gifts of peace and healing from us eastern staters. And I got this after three days of wobbling and weaving across the Nullabor Plains on a 1000 mile road with no bends at all. Chris did offer an escape plan riding pillion on the back of his MkIII. But the kick starter had snapped off and his green button had gone west some six years ago. It was all too late.

Moe is sporting the classic "Commando Cut". Done with a plastic bowl in five minutes for $2.50. Half what it costs to help Jerry run the forum each month.

If you think Fullauto heads are expensive………
Jim sent me a PM saying if I sent him $25000, he'd build me a complete billet engine.
Sounded like a bargain to me, so I did.
I've just received a curt PM back saying thanks for the 10% deposit, I'll start the job tomorrow!

Maybe getting divorced wasn't as expensive as I thought it was at the time.

Phil
 
Darling please calm down, there is only ONE Norton under there.
It arrived in four pieces!

I apologise that I ever used the term "Japo Crapo" which offended so many dedicated Norton lovers.
