Pictures of your Norton 961
 
Looks your riding with the big boys bikes again Richard !
These pics at the “ two hoots “ tea room at devils bridge , steam engine not bad nick considering its 170 years old ,covered 960 miles in four days , & Tony yes the big boys , I didn’t have cruise control, heated grips, a heated seat, a 350 mile range fuel tank ,DAB digital hi fi system, but it was the 961 that drew all the attention from the other 3 bikes that have a combined value of £55K , 961 looks a bargain now , & proves again that you can actually ride these bikes & not use them as ornaments

Love hearing that Sir !
 
Quick ride South West of Canberra to Cotter Dam and a coffee stop at "Pitt Stop Coffee #1", and look what I found !!

1974 850 Commando no less, they were very excited about the 2015 cafe too ;)

That's a nice purposeful looking Fastback. Is the owner on here?

Richard , It will be difficult to keep up with you're miles piling up !
Well mines all ready, tax tomorrow and hopefully the weather will improve for the weekend. With a bit of luck I can have the biking summer planned for 2020 to celebrate 50 years a biker, fingers crossed. A trip to the IoM would be nice. Bikes running sweet!

Fingers crossed for you. IOM - TT or Classic ? (Now called the Manx again)
 
I am a bad person and could not resist it! My bike went to the factory July last year and I asked if they could look after it while our neighbours built an extension and rebuilt our adjoining garages but it all went wrong and they are only just completing the work so had the bike delivered back ready for a show on Saturday nicely polished after its holiday!
NB that is; building work went wrong not Norton work!

Are you saying that the current TVS/Norton took your bike in for service/storage ? WOW , I thought they only worked on the bikes they built ? April Fools right ..

Let’s imagine hypothetically that they were interested in producing a 961 type bike then they would want to know the potential problems with the existing design. So they might like to look at a bike which has covered a few miles. And while the engineers were looking at the bike they might feel inclined to fix any small issues they might find. Hypothetically of course...

Well that sounds pretty darn good to me !
