Bike looking good EB, but when I try to get a better look and click on any Imgur images all I get is a blank Imgur page ?
That's up near Stone isn't it?

Thanks... Not sure the scheme with Imgur, I get the same but grateful I can get something here.
Memorial is near Bradwell power station, pass Stone and keep going 'til you get wet.... Then back up a bit!!

Bradwell is the last stop on the 'Dengie Peninsula', hence it's suitability for a Nuclear Power station. Currently decommissioned, but plans in hand for those lovable Chinese to build us another one..
One road in, one road out.*
*Of course I could have stated: One rode in, one rode out... on one's Commando.

Glad to hear everyone was ok.

Thank you for the welcome.
I purchased that bike in 2017 for a semi retirement restoration project. I had to have one more Norton! I stumbled on to Matts CNW website while looking for parts and fell in love with his work. So I decided to send the Commando up to Matt.
My very first British bike was a Triumph at 16 years old. But I had to have a Norton! I settled on a Atlas 750 at first. Than came the the 850 commando. I rebuilt the 850 Engine with the help of my dad, Lenny Gilzo and friends. Some parts came from Marino at M.A.P Cycle as well as Sid's cycles. We put a big bore kit and Norris cams in her and Lenny did his magic on the head. Lenny used to drag race a BSA he called Dino. (Might be some folks on here that may know him) Those were some really good times in my life, we were a tight group. Hoping to add some new memory's soon.
