Couldn't agree more, guys. Spent the last few years riding first a '95 Triumph 900 Sprint then the '03 Bonneville as my primary 2-wheeled transportation. They are lovely, fast (especially the Sprint), reliable machines to be sure, but when I got this latest '73 and rode it for the first time it really took me back. I'd forgotten the rush that a Norton will give when on the road, even in the poor running condition this one was! Had to remember "one up-3 down on the right" after a few years of first "one down and five up then one down and four up on the left", though! The unmistakable sound, torque band and glassy smoothness of the old Commando just fits. Besides, neither of the Triumphs had kick starters! Can't start 'em, can't ride 'em!
