Caught up wiv my nearest 961 pen friend , coffee & cake thanking you Jon & dashed to this WW2 Pillbox for a photo shot of the bikes , Adisham in Kent this one , but many still left in the south east of UK , I think if Germany had invaded England you would want to be anywhere else but not that in that pillbox with a panzer division coming over the Hill , any ol how check out Jon’s tank , it’s better in the flesh I can affirm.

Historical site, historical marque, great bikes! Good to see that you guys had a blast, literally. Lovin the naked tank Jon. Gonna run mine like that for a while.

Long live Norton.

New mirrors fitted, can see more clearly than the bar ends.
See how the sunlight catches the white on the tank.

Last Saturday there was a local British car show which also has bikes but only two of us showed up with bikes.

Its a shame only two bikes showed up, but look on the bright side they must have been the centre of attention ( and rightly so).

BTW, you have posted on the 961 page, but what the heck, they are all Norton’s ( despite what some folks say)

@cliffa and you just "found" a new factory screen, yeah?
A guy on the Facebook 961 group was selling it so I snapped it up. It came without brackets so I tried to replicate the factory ones. Far too complex so I gave up and made some using the headlight bolts and one of the original 6mm mount points with a spacer. I could also position the screen a little further forward which I prefer.

Another hidden gem in Kent south eastern England , WW2 museum run by volunteers , most items in there have been donated by locals & dug up in the surrounding fields, minor airstrip next to it during the war , never mind tarmac it was just chicken wire rolled out on the grass.
& the eagled eyed of you would of spotted the “ bouncing bomb” prototype & test bomb( nowt in it ) as used by the “ dam busters”

Out yesterday on the Klausen pass. Friday afternoon seems a perfect time. Very little traffic unlike the weekends which would be overrun with bikes and cars from all over Europe during the summer weekends.

Moody shot...

Then on down, into Kanton Uri and the sight (Tellskapelle) of Wilhelm Tell's dramatic escape from his captors in around 1470 during a storm (a Föhnsturm).
