Hello everyone,

I have just found some time to put together this short video of my girlfriend (apologies, poor quality) and I thought some of you may like it.
The bike is almost sorted now, it just needs a repaint/polish/change of chainguard/handlebar to be the way I want it.

Enjoy the Italian highways!

Oh yeah I feel like the background music on my yellar Roadster too. Might do something with the excessive cluster of keys from wearing away paint and jerking the key switch guts to useless. Hoped to see some sleek Italian women in back ground.

Bike looks very nice but more appropriate rider clothing would have been good to see!

Hey! Summer in Italy! It's warm

ys I know, but I tend to wear proper bike gear only for longer distances, above 100 miles..
Few chaps here not even wearing an helmet (in the south, mostly)!

You're probably just as likely, (or even more so) to have an accident whithin a mile or so of your home as you are on a 100 mile journey!

I definitely know it!
in fact, it already happened to me.
But still...I am lazy.

The bike looks and sounds great. Thanks for the view of your home.

With all those keys hung on the side of the bike aren't you afraid of scratching your nice yellow paint? On my 1970 I just have the key and a small ring. On the riding gear issue I am guilty of not wearing all the gear all the time. Earlier this summer a friend of mine was on a trip and was in Virgina. Left out of the hotel about 7:00 in the morning and did not get 5 miles and a bear ran out in front of him. He killed the bear with the bike, the bike was totaled, all his riding gear was destroyed, helmet, jacket, over pants and boots. He walked away from it a little sore but was back up and riding the next week on one of his other bikes.
Other than that nice bike I won't let my other half see it her favorite color is yellow. I already have two yellow bikes and she will want me to paint the Norton.

In fact the paint has already some scratches around panels and tank. I am thinking to give it a paint job. Actually those keys do not scratch it, but definitely after the paint job I will find another position for them. Ahhh...that fireflake purple...

but I think I will repaint it yellow.

I was misled. I thought your girl friend was riding. Turns out you were riding your girl friend.
