Tranny upside down too!
Yes... "gearbox". There is no "tranny" on a Norton.

Noe living in the very northwest corner of the US state of Washington, about 70 miles in a straight line from Vancouver, BC, I have a hard time figuring out which way is Coppull!

I replied... "Ahh... Yeah".
Then when i couldn't, he started her for me. Then he looked at me and said "You know how to ride her son?"
I replied... "Ummm... Sure".
Then i stalled it (requiring him to start the bike again).
I then said "Ok cool, i'll ride her home!".
He then said "Nope". Put the bike in the back of his pick-up, drove it to my house, dropped it off and said "Good Luck!".

Of course the obvious next question is:
"Do you know how to work on that Norton?"
