Norton as "daily" rider?

Ask and ye shall receive...

The shocks were supplied and fettled by Robert Taylor at Kiwi Suspension Solutions in New Plymouth, NZ. It took a bit of to-ing and fro-ing to convince Robert that I was prepared to let him do it his way - i.e "proper", as opposed to "for the lowest possible price", which included him setting up and fitting the shocks. Once we were singing from the same songsheet, it was plain sailing.

I ride mine daily to and from work 5-6 days a week from Late September - April.

Thx, but I’m having trouble to open the pics...

Ludwig's bike is a work of art. His head steady is amazingly simple, which is why I copied it for my 2 bikes.
As for a daily rider, I live 4 minutes drive form my shop, and it takes me a good ten minutes to get all my leathers on , get the bike out and start it. A no brainer really but I do enjoy the odd occasion I do take it to work. I am also 30 seconds from an 80 kph area and 5 mins from the open road with one roundabout and one stop sign along the way. I usually go joy riding for over an hour when i feel like it, but lately, I have only done 1200 miles since the last 6 month wof inspection and that included the Taranaki Rally. Unfortunately, what happened to Mark has left a lot of us with something to think about. It still bugs me. I rode many miles round NZ in his company when going to rallies. At some stage we should do a big write uop about him but I think we are all so stunned that we have kept silent.
