10 years, 1 month and 12 days since my last Norton dropped a valve back in Canada, I rode my newly acquired 71 Roadster today! I wasn't planning on it as it's been raining quite a bit here in South Oz but the sun came and the roads dried up so I couldn't resist. She rode well and I came back in after about 20 minutes to check her over and tighten a few things. Went back out for a bit more and loved every moment of it. Still have to get a strobe to fine tune the timing though so I don't want to ride it any more until then. My neighbour gave me an old light but it's only got 2 wires and I'm not sure how to use it. I thought they always had 3, 2 for power and one to clamp on a sparkplug wire. Ah well, if I can't figure it out I'll pick one up this week. Of to the Norton club meeting tomorrow night as well, it will be great to give them the good news.
