I bought it 2 years ago thinking I could be a velo fellow but it's not for me, nice thing to ride but still don't have the knack of starting it. I put a thorspark ignition on it as the mag was a bit hit and miss. Before you buy one have a look at the palaver required to start it.

A grand video Gino and Fiona. Lovely to watch those two Nortons. I knew two guys in the '70s that used to run them, one of them was a JP Commando, a beautiful machine. Had a short run on one and never forgot that muscly torquey pull of the engine.
