I feel like I should have called the newspaper and tv stations locally here to announce the union of my Norton family! In 1972 my 72 Norton combat Dunstall became part of my family but after a few short years it went to stay with relatives some 500 miles away. While we were apart a 74 850 came into my life. Tragically we too were separated around 1989. All this time both Nortons had never met one another. This xmas I really pushed to for once unite my Norton family and now after 30 odd years it has finally come to pass!
Here is a photo of our union. Even though they look a little worse for wear I can't tell you how it feels to have them united under one roof.
The fairing was removed for transport.
The Dunstall tank and fairing were previously seriously crashed and although I thoroughly patched them inside and out the tank kept weeping from new areas where the fiberglass had been stressed. After meticulously patching and re-painting it 4 or 5 times I finally succumbed to adding scabby patches to the outside just so I could continue riding.
I need to insulate and heat my work area before I can begin the long healing process.
