Yup! Without Greers efforts we would’nt have the 961 and Garner would’nt have had a starting point for the rebirth of Norton @ Donington.

What Garner did after that is a different matter, but no doubting that he changed the course of Norton’s history by bringing the marque back to the UK where it belongs.

Without what Garner established in the UK (based mainly off the back of the 961) I doubt TVS would have seen the same value in purchasing Norton and given it the opportunity it now has for success.

So, that all goes to prove that the 961 is the most important model in Nortons storied history! I’m sure that the vintage boys will agree!

Also goes without saying that it’s the sexiest! Definitive proof shown below.

Bluey (FB) showing us how the touring thing is done, down under style.

As long as you are comfortable with the bar setup and have done the standard maintenance fixes you can certainly tour on these machines. In style of course!

For those not on FB who may be thinking about purchasing a TAB tank.

Beutifully made piece of bike art - I’m biased of course! Approx £1400.

No words required - just vision!

For the Aussies - these don’t pop up for sale in Aus very often!!

For the first time I can remember, there are no Commando 961’s for sale on this site. Guess the majority are close to being with their forever owners.

Would look way better if the megaphones were on it

Worth a watch from Papa Smurf - the full story of Dreer’s efforts.

It’s close but, yes! The ugliest bike ever built!! Hope nobody on the forum owns one!!!

92 years of age and still riding - happy birthday Sammy Miller!

Puts my whinging about how painful riding the 961 CR is into stark relief!

Exceptional genetics.
Unstoppable determination!

Not sure how good an idea this is? Sectioning out the footrest mounting plates!
