Also, even though I'm 6'1" tall, I cannot straddle a Norton with my left foot on the ground and hope to kick it.  30" inseam (short legs). I can on my Bonneville and even on my Trident and can just barely on a 69S (lower seat).


Got to remember, not all people are created the same and not all Norton models are the same!


To start a Norton for me:

1) Center Stand

2) Stand on the timing side of the bike.

3) Kick with my right leg

4) Walk to drive side

5) Take off stand, mount and ride.


Really can't afford a bike that doesn't start and idle from cold reliably!


Looks weird but works just fine. Hip replacement in my left leg means I can't use it. My right hip replacement is better technology, and it works OK for kicking.
