The Norton project.
This is an amazing, well worth seeing film.
The Norton Project: this is a story about how two brothers stole their father's 1969 Norton Commando, had it restored and then gave it back to him for Christmas. He had no idea. It's kind of along video, but stick with it, the payoff is worth it. I have to admit it brought tears to my eyes... .

That was a great video.Very nice story with a wonderful ending.That guy had a couple of great sons.The old snorten Norton was my favorite bike back in the day but I had to settle for a BSA Thunderbolt.Slicked back greasy hair,pack of Luckys rolled up in my t-shirt sleeve,and it was Saturday night.Off to the A&W ROOT BEER stand to flirt with the carhops.Didn't get no better than that.

That was something really neat that his sons did for him. Its amazing he didn't notice all the extra room in the basement.

Hahaha, I was in that shop just two weeks ago. About 50 miles from here. My son Bill wanted me to see a BSA Daytona that is for sale there. Great people and the shop on film is the whole shop. It is small but they know their British, they do awesome work. The guy is a real dad to have sons like that.

That was a great story. Brought back some old memories. A bad memory too. Like having to kick start a bike even when it was flooded. No button to push
 I remember making fun of the Honda guys with electric starters. Oh, the good old days.

That was amazing, not only the the though and work of getting the bike restored, but the documentation of their little caper on video was really neat.
