Hello to all. I am a newly registered forum member and wanted to introduce myself.
I have owned (and currently own) many different brit bikes over the last 40 years. Mostly AMC machines (Matchless and AJS). I do have a few Hybrids in my collection currently. Plus a couple of Royal Enfield Interceptors, a 1955 Triumph TR5 and a 1956 Triumph TR5R.
Today I picked up a couple of Norton Nomad basket cases (yes, I have an affinity for basket cases -or at least they seem to find me!).
Don't know much about the Nomad's but I like the looks of them and they fit in nicely with my other AMC period bikes.
I know I am missing some pieces and will have a challenge in finding some of the missing parts (that's part of the fun, right?). Luckily the sheet metal parts all seem to be there. I see right now that I will need exhaust pipes for both bikes and seats for both.
Will have to acquire parts books as I have none at present and start making lists of what I need to acquire. I am going to finish one bike for myself and the other will be my brother's (who is my restoration partner).
Am excited about the projects, but currently working to complete my 67 G15 MKII and must get it done first.
Got to quit buying projects!
Appreciate any and all help forum members can provide as I am definitely not knowledgeable on these machines.
Sincerely,
Rick T
