For those who love motorbikes.

My cousin Eric was an ex Leicester City Tigers speedway rider in the 1950's and also had an interest (financial) in Triumph. He was their test rider up until the day he died, in his late 70's, about 20 years ago.

Quite clever!! I like how the CoG is installed first - very important!!

Nortons have been our family motorcycle marque since the '60's. My uncle was the local dealer for many years, and we still have the last 1974 850 Commando that he received, still in the crate. My dad, my uncles, and I all still ride ours.

Thanks for sharing this!! - SR
