So many Nortons, so many six bends
 
1973 had them on a chopped three wheeler! Thought they were ok for me but had to be scary on two wheels!

Wow! I've never seen anything like that. Do you think those Norton riders were tying to impress the sheep/cattle with their handlebars? or was it just another Friday night out in the pasture?

The latter. Six bend bars were very fashionable back in the day in NZ and a lot of the Triumph and HD riders had very tall ones.

I bought a BSA Sunbeam S8 many years ago fitted with a gold star front brake and ape hangers. The first time I had to brake hard the bloody ape hangers rolled over. Chucked them in the bin and fitted Vincent straights.

It was that long ago I paid £11 for it taxed and tested. I flogged hell out of it for a year and sold it for £35. A good old motorcycle, slow but smooth and easy to live will, I'd have another.
