Yes but the continual Norton bashing should not be happening on accessnorton.com to the extent that it does.  Since I bought my '74 Commando new in '75 I have never regretted the decision and parts have always been easy to find.  It does not bother me that the little "Hemi" is a pushrod engine since most of the best engines I've owned had pushrods.  My '62 Parisienne was nothing exciting but I really miss my '69 Wildcat with the 430.  That one had pushrods and 500 pound-feet of torque.  You could feel the earth shift on its axis when you opened the secondaries on that one.  [Perhaps I exaggerate but it sure felt like the Earth moved.]


P.S. I generally try to buy products made in North America.  Just recently I bought some made in U.S.A. North Star runners.  My brother-in-law always thought I was crazy for buying domestic but now that his retirement fund is in jeopardy he tells me I have been right for the past thirty years.  That and $2 will get me a ham sandwich, I guess.
