Ok, Norton doesn’t tell enough, what size Norton:) Not to be nosy or anything, just an old ex-biker being curious.

It's an 850 Commando with Dunstall racing accessories, a "curvy racer." It's registered as a "1979" because he constructed it from pieces of other Nortons that year. Norton folded in 1975. He also has a Suzuki Katana. Hubby was an excellent rider, but he's a big guy, tall and beefy, so he never raced except in the canyons in southern California with me and a few of our close friends.

I started with a Yoshima (not Yoshimura -- kind of a wanna be) Honda 400, then I got a Suzuki 1000, and finally a Suzuki GS1100. I still have the 1100, but neither of us has ridden for years, and I'm not likely to again. I'm too creaky.
