It looks really nice, I like the Nortons. Its too bad that they died off. A few years ago there was a Norton distributor bringing new bikes in to Canada, they had a couple models available, I think in 1000cc They moved, and I dont know if the new Norton still exists. I never did see any of the new bikes on the road here.

Must be nice to have brothers to get along with. I cain't hang out with mine. He keeps getting busted for drugs, breaking and entering, DUI, receiving stolen property. The po po is always framing him and he's always innocent. I'm scared it'll rub off on me. Nice ride Mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bike was originally exported to the USA,but was returned last year,in a container load of old bikes.There is a market here for the old British,and Japanese classics.I found a bloke who ships them in from the USA.He was doing a show in Kempton Park a couple of weeks later,so my brother went to see what he had.He was hoping to buy a Bonneville,but they were too much money.So he settled for a very sad looking N15,with a few bits missing.He paid £1800, and bought it home in his pick-up.It has now had a total nut & bolt rebuild.He fired it up last weekend,it started 3rd kick,and ran like a sewing machine with a rorty note.

I think some of the brotherly love just flew out the window mate.The old man announced the contents of his will yesterday,and the favourite son is getting a bigger slice of the pie.It aint going down well with the others.

Yeah, I'm a passenger on the same boat Mate. My Aunt left me bucket loads. They always leave it to the no-good low-down sorriest one. Yuck yuck. Then you get about a half dozen coming around with the sad heart ache stories. I toll "em all I done went out and invested it in Apple stock. I felt pretty terrible about that so I'm gonna go shopping for a Maserati to ease my troubled heart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
