Heroes

Stumbled across this one in my files, thought I lost it, glad I found it again.
Two of my heroes.

Listening now to a collection on minidisc.
Funny, seeing the big O on his Norton, the meaning of his song titles get a different perspective which maybe some of you may or may not have experienced with your beloved Norton, be it on the road, be it in the workshop:
-feeling good: Go go go, You got it, The only one, Careless heart, A love so beautifull
-feeling blue: Pretty one, Only the lonely, Running scared, Crying, It's over
-feeling hope or despair: Trying to get to you, In dreams, She's a mystery to me

Wait a minute. How does the Big O ride a M/C?

He sat on the seat and worked the controls like most of us do, I expect?

Apparently he had poor eyesight but he wasn't blind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbison

Sorry, I just assumed he was totally blind. My mistake.

Norton ownership can make you blind.

Roy Orbison is in my list of top 10 musicians of all time, near the top.

...maybe that's why I appreciate Chris Issak...

Eastwoood, was definitely a hero. One of my favorites, I found that pic some time ago in a book I have since lost. Luckily I still have a scan of it at home.

A poster for the garage of the eastwwod picture would be nice.

DogT · Jan 30, 2011

I've been looking for that Eastwood poster for about a year now. No luck.

Look to be during the filming of "Kelly's Heroes" 1970.
I wonder if the bike was in that movie?

I doubt it, since the setting was WWII, but I guess that wouldn't have to stop them, since the film was full of all kinds of other anachronistic 60's nods.

I think it was disguised as a bottle of Scotch. I could be wrong......................

DogT · Jan 30, 2011

I don't think the bike was in the movie. It was most likely a promo shot for Norton and the movie at the same time. Plus the printing is left out of the original pic. It's certainly a good pic of a nice original 69/70 'S' type.

OK, so who has a decent picture of it that can be sent out to make posters for us?

DogT · Jan 30, 2011

I got the pic from the web, stole it from one of our Norton members on his web page. The biggest I have is 800x778 at 72 pixels/inch. Don't know how big it will print without getting funky. I could get in touch with the guy that posted it originally and see what he has. It may too be a scanned pic.

I'll see what I can find.

Now if someone could come up with the pictures of the Roy Orbison shannanna girls, we could do some trading.
