Hi Lads,

I'm a member of an Irish biker forum & a few lads posted some pictures from some bike events they where at, picked out a few Nortons

1st picture is from Linkoping Sweden July 2010

The 2nd & 3rd are from a classic bike event in mid Ohio . Not sure if this has been posted before but it looks very interesting!!

Hotbot might be interested in this one :mrgreen:

That bike is pretty cool. The headlight and mirrors stick out like a sore thumb but the rest is great.

Oh my yes sir Mr. Click, I'm on edge of seat interested in that Drouin Commando!
Mainly its proof to me AMC gearbox can take way more than ever intended.
I added the photo's to collection of blown Commandos. I'm a late comer.
The others are delicious as well and level I'm constantly straining to
catch up to on Peel but gave up for just nice intact factory Trixie Combat.

Mostly interested in how much the blower hangs out as Peel's intended
to perfect sideways wheelies. That takes a lot of lean to not high side
till I let off. Try as I might, getting pulled off track each and every
time out by Code's Corner school freaked out staff and then applying
lesions of track and THE Gravel on my modified race shod SV650,
ain't no way in god's grey pavement these fat tired cycles can
handle the loads and hook up it takes to sideways wheelie
off tire edges, they all just grease off line or low side in a flash.

Peel will have to sit ~ 2" higher than factory and run crash bars
to allow clearance and hopefully preserve the cases when I hit
gravel or grease or deer as i fully expect a number of times more
before I go. Oh yeah bet its a blast just going straight too.

Graduation paper I'm ready to learn blown cornering on my own now.

All that needs is a Flanders flattrack bend handlebar, and I'd be drooling all over the keyboard!

yeah man, that headlight is freakin ug-gly!!! Belongs on a big chopper not a sleek commando at least pushed way out like that

Hi Click,

I recognise that one from Linkoping, I've raced against it a few times over there.......pretty bike, but it ain't no Seeley

We met a guy from Cork there in 2009 who was touring all over Europe and he was amazed to meet "Feck me, a bunch of Paddies" in Linkoping!!! :lol:

Hi Tom,

As far as I know this year, not long ago. I did not take them myself. They where taken by an Irish lad living in the USA.

I've Googled KK Speed & Sport, Erie PA but they don't have a website or email (that I can find)

I thought I might find some info. about the bike on the web, some reviews etc. but so far nothing!

Anybody on here know KK Speed & Sport?

Hi Tom,

Got a reply from the lad who took the pics, yes it was last weekend. The rest of the pics are not Norton related but some fantastic bikes for sale :mrgreen:
