She said he was going fast... I asked if she smelled oil heh looks like fun but for me I avoid freeways as much as possible.

Your wife is A-OK.

I wonder how many wives, including mine, would recognize a Norton?

Yes, now that i look at it, she was driving alone wasn't she. I thing we would have believed her with out the photo. You should tell her that.

Yike! Next time she could get close enough to get the SN, ya think?

Anyway, my wife, and I for that manner, have yet to see another Norton around here. We keep looking though.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Norton on the road, other than mine, but I don't get around much.

That's why the INOA rallies are cool. We stayed on a long straightaway then uphill coming into Brandon VT (Rt 7) and you could hear Nortons starting to go by at about 6:30 am. Way more Nortons than Harleys in all the towns around Brandon. It was great! Every restaurant, market, gas station and bar had a few Nortons out front.

That is an extremely beautiful photo. My wife wouldn't see much in it, but 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' ! TUFF TITTIES !

in other news a man on a motorcycle was killed when a woman on her phone ran him over!

hopefully the day will come when batrider will see me going down his street on my norton! Also russ, have you ever seen a fire flake orange commando around our parts? My old boss called me up and said he was sitting next to one at a light on 611

My wife took that shot. She's got a good eye.

Kev - my bike is signal orange (plain) not fireflake but it is bright. Could have been me. Don't see any Nortons usually.

dave - maybe less time typing and more riding is the answer! :mrgreen:

I thought it was cool getting the pic. Any chance I see a Norton out and about is a good thing. Hard to keep the tripod and light meter going in the passenger seat though....

But if you ride in SoCal you probably know that people are doing much more in their cars while driving around there.... She was looking and that counts!

very well may have been you russ. He works up your way, and the only thing he's been known to accurately described is the top half of a large breasted woman.
