Would you consider having a Norton 961 in your garage?

I forgot to mention that when I dropped by a bike dealership not far from me yesterday, I noticed that they had quite a number of interesting new Nortons in the showroom.
They really are beautiful bikes. Every single one of them.
They are also specialists in shipping bikes worldwide.
Take a look, but give your wife your credit card to look after until you've got over the initial urge to buy one:

That black one is absolutely gorgeous, I am glad there is an ocean and a large land mass between it and me.

I'm disappointed that in 2024 engine vibration even needs to be mentioned. Especially on a bike that needs your fat wallet to obtain. I guess someone has to keep Loctite in business.

Relax. The vibration is hardly noticeable when you have your rose tinted spectacles on

You've got me thinking about bikes that are intriguing and worth a closer look.
Here's my current intrigue:

Rickman Metisse MK5 Café Racer

That is a really cool looking engine. I would like to take it out riding for a few hours.

Get a big dog and strap him down.
My now departed Lab, Grub was a good sidecar weight but not a swinger!
I had a red kelpie called Jake that loved motorcycles and side cars and learnt to counter balance on the chair like a swinger and lean with the bike when riding solo.
He used to sit on the back of my Guzzi Lemans at 190-200kmh or on the tank at 140kmh with his front legs on my arms with his head in the wind flapping a wet 8" tongue in your face.

Not much weight benefit with mine, lol.
