Just came across this while surfing for accessories.

Nice looking bike.


There is a write up here.

Sweet. I love looking at pics of classic bikes. Has a few less accessories than our Nomads do!

I saw one of those at the Barber Motor-sports museum in Birmingham Alabama a couple of weeks ago. If your ever in that area, you really should check it out.

Now that's a very classy looking bike. Looks like it would be fun to run around on.

I don't remember that bike. Probably because it was a west coast model according to the write up.
I did have a Norton 400 Roadmaster and I had some friends who had Commandos and Atlases.
Mine was a pretty comfortable and a good handling bike for it's day.
Thanks for posting this Bosko, brought back some nice memories

Yes, riding down to the southeastern states and checking out the Barber museum, along with attending a rally is definitely on my Bucket list.

I'd like to hit all the states and Mexico too.

I've pretty much been all over Canada. Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, and lived in the Northwest territories.

This past summer I went on a road trip through Washington, Idaho. Wyoming, and Montana on my S83. My next forage into the states will hopefully be with momma on the back down the Pacific coast highway and beyond.

First she'll have to get used to shorter rides. Her longest trip has been about 100km. But she is really liking the Nomad.
