The cat is out of the bag....
So I'm real proud to tell that my bike is currently with TAB Classics who are prototyping an alloy tank for the Norton 961.
They've been makin tanks for fifty years - totally UK hand built, utterly right and proper - just as it should be!
I got my 961 August 2021 and I'd called Richard at TAB not long after getting the bike, being concerned that 'Ethanol' will transform my plastic tank into a 'Salvador Dali' ..!
Richard told me he already had a tank from a generous source but after two years of lockdowns and stuff he still needed a bike to complete the base and 'prove' the fit etc.
Well, feint heart never won that fair lady so, If I wanted one (which I do) I felt duty bound to 'do my bit'.
Now I'm kinda feelin like an expectant father, but its actually more than that because I know there are possibly one or two 961 owners that will also want one.
In the meantime, I'm pacing up and down coz I don't have my beautiful bike in my workshop - but I know its in good and capable hands.
I do hope you're reading this Richard ...!
