Stunning,
And it takes me back near on 35 yrs, Mate had a Manx Norvin--Gen Manx wheels, Norton Box and Clutch (Would you dare to saw the gearbox from a Vincent Motor!!!!!) And best of all 2inch dia open pipes!!--54 inches long for those who may remember reading the early 70s bible Tuning for Speed. Sold it to buy a Norton Commando which lasted about 5 mins and then bought a Jap Crap Kawasaki H2 750 2 stroke triple. The rest is as they say--History.

I remember riding back from the Dragon Rally in Wales in 74,when it was the done thing to go and freeze your balls off,in pre global warming days camping,and bumping into a guy on a Vinnie on the A5 on the way home,i can still here his bike know,didn't sound like it was much off tickover and my CB750 had the rev counter needle in the red trying to hang on to him.
As far as bike prices go,had some what of a re-calibration a few years ago when i had a mate phone me up,would you like to come and have a look at the 350 Honda i've just bought,does it run i ask,no he replies it hasn't got any pistons,rods or crank,how much did you pay? i ask,includeing the auctioners fee,yea?? £210,000
he's still got it.
