Having fallen in love with my 1936 Model 50 last winter & bought her, hubby & I realised we'd have to learn to ride one of those 2-wheeled thingys before we were allowed to take the Norton further than the end of the drive!
So here we both are with a 6-week old fulllicence, no room in the garage with 2 x Suzuki SV650's & a Norton with all the levers etc on a side we're not used to & no electric ignition & the like! Love riding the Suzuki & having a whizz......but...............
We've only been & gone & done it! Bit of work over the winter having a clean-up & check-over, & yesterday we were off down the lane in the sunshine & gentle breeze making the MOST gorgeous sound (and rather slow gear changes!!)
WHAT PURE JOY!Now I know just what all you guys feel..........MAGIC!

Don't expect the Norton with that single sided 6" front brake to stop anything like the twin discs on the Suzukis. Of course it wil be going only half as fast!!!!
Great looking bike.
