Great things are afoot
So,
Pop's calls up to tell me that he and the wife are stopping by on the way to Seattle to see her Grandkids for Christmas. They are bringing the Toy Hauler and would I like to have the Norton? Uh, yes! Yes I would!
This bike is steeped in family folklore. Like the time he set the workshop on fire after he started it up sans exhaust pipes. I rode her when I was a kid, scared the hell out of me! Up till then, the biggest bike I had ridden was a 175 Yamaha 2 stroke Trials bike, man, what a difference!
She has sat for many years now, tucked away in the corner of his garage, waiting patiently to once again feel the wind in her hair. Sadly, she will have to wait a while longer while I find some fun coupons to throw her way. There is lots of work to be done, parts to be found, but I will enjoy it as I remember the old days.
Here is my new, old 1974 Commando!
