A trip back in time. Two of my old friends have been running this buisness for a very long time. They are big Norton fans and usually have something very interesting in for repairs.

A few triumphs in the showroom, and a 650 Norton just completed.

Gee, thanks Mick. Takes me back. When I started out, people who owned some of those model Triumphs and BSAs were dedicated not to riding but to repairs, maintenance and rebuild. My experience with any of them is pieces spread all over the floor.

Wow, Thanks Mick, those pics are incredible. Your friends have quite a shop, I could look around in there for days. That Kawi H-1 is yet another flash from the past for me, didn't have one, but almost did, bought my friends H-2 instead. The Triumphs and the Norton are cool too. A neighbor when I was growing up had an 850 Commando, don't remember the year, but it was beautiful, black with gold trim.

Awesome... Loud, peaky, squirrely, lousy brakes and ultimately invincible in the hands of Mike the Bike. So very cool.
