Dear all,

after a two years restoration I 'am proud to share with you some pics of my fully rebuild '72 black Roadster and a video of its first starting...(the man starting the bike is my cousin Piero, you know him and his beauty Nortons)
I would like to thank you for the useful info and suggestion you share on this forum, thanks guys
Now the bike needs just a fine tuning and will be ready to ride on the sunny roads of southern Italy

The bike looks beautiful Mario and a very encouraging first start. Good luck with the break-in and enjoy those wonderful roads.

Thanks guys :D

Nice bike Andrea a very good start for a fast and light restoration
Restoration on this bike takes more than two year but it depende on budget and condition of the bike
This bike was dismantled in boxes and in very bad condition
Your bike can be restore very fast if you have money to invest
Here in the forum you will find good friends to share your experience with and get useful suggestion
you will find on my blog many detailed tutorials in italian explaining how to restore or rebuild all part of a commando
write me at mariodinucci@hotmail.com if you have any doubt I've collected thousends of pics of commando restorations

Simply beautiful ! I'm sure Piero had a little more to do with it than just starting it. he was a real resource i bet. make sure your son cinches up that chin strap before he takes off!
 
Awesome bike there. Inspiring.
You gotta love the translator.
It's like reading a post from Hobot.

LOL this cracked me up! Also funny that a guy named Guido is using translator for Italian ;-)
 
That is a beautiful bike. The engine sounds like you put together a good one. She is a goer. Well done.
