letsavagoo 961 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 From about 8 years old I have had a passion for motorcycles. I used to look at them dream of them and generally obsessed about them. I got my first when I was 13, an NSU Quickly moped which I swapped for an Aerial Leader about a year later which I rode on private land (honest). I have always since had a motor bike in my life. Some wonderful and some modest. The list of bikes I have had is not that long as I kept some a long time and although I have had brief flirtations with Japanese and a fling with a BMW the majority have been British and big singles. I am currently in mourning as I have recently sold the BSA B31 that I have owned for the last 9 years. I have developed a long term health problem and have to face the fact that I am never going to ride again. I cannot pull the clutch, brake or even get it on and off the stand. Having the health issue has effected me in many ways and none of them good. But I cannot begin to tell you how strange I feel at not owning a bike. I sold it a few months back and still haven't got over it even though I have not ridden it for several years just not having a bike is awful. I planned in my mind long continental tours when I retired none of which will happen now. If it's in your blood then enjoy it while you can. Not owning a bike is the least of my problems or so I thought but, Lord, I do miss it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 like the race outfit, think that norton travels to a lot of shows despite its age it only has about 30 miles on the clock always goes in a van and the guy who owns it gets very upset if he dont win never been rode more than a few yards. not a real bike in my eyes just a show toy for someone who has more money than sence bikes are made to be rode.

plantfit 7,580 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Quite agree with you about the Norton, such a waste of a superb machine, just thought I would take a pic of it for the Norton fans, but, yes it should be ridden to the shows, I have a pic of the outfit from the other side, I'll find it out and post it for you Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
