Sad to report but I think it's my first ride on my Mk2a this year. Just finished a rewire / rework after being informed I have to take it for its biennial inspection this Friday.

After riding the 961 most of the summer it's really nice to get on something which doesn't sound like it's going to explode at any moment :rolleyes:.

Hmmmm....just sitting here wondering (oh yeah, 71 days until redeployment back to the US of A!!!!!) why there is no "post a picture of your Norton" thread on this forum. Am I missing some area of the forum that folks can post a pic of their Commando instead of on random threads? Seems it would be easier to devote one thread to this topic exclusively sort of like over at the Britbike forum. Just a suggestion.

I am a noob to this forum so just tell me to shut my pie hole if it has been discussed before (it probably has). I for one would really enjoy checking out owner photos of the most legendary of ALL british bikes...NORTON COMMANDO. :p

È questa una bella iniziativa. Io collezionista di Commando 6 sarei felice di mostrarli tra questi un PR originale, un Rob North 850 Norvil Mike Hemmings ed un Dominacer 1965 con motore Commando, un S un Roadster un PR replica + un Triumph Tridente. Moto che con altro uso e curo regolarmente ad 81 anni.
Saluti Tommaso

I found some old polaroids of my Norton cafe from 1970. I believe the bike was a 69? Purchased used from a Norton dealer in Syracuse NY. Was told it had the Dunstall 810 kit and it came with that seat and tank in purple. I recall the dealer ran it at the Cicero NY drag strip https://www.estadrags.com/ for a season before selling me the bike with a fresh rebuild. I finished it up with the cafe kit and fresh 70's paint scheme. I believe it was the winter of my senior year in high school. The bike was very fast and would wheelie the entire length of the school parking lot. Had a lot of fun on that bike..........

Sorry for quality of the pictures but they are 52 year old polaroids after all.

Nice, i think that bubble paint scheme would be cool!
 
Was that Norton dealer on Erie Blvd? My Bonneville came from Central Square. North Syracuse had a nice little Triumph dealer too. The memories!
