Oh Stu look at the dirty tyres.
Haha nice thought....but I wouldnt sell out to tvs anyhowA lovely thing indeed. Just think - in years to come this could be sitting in the new TVS Motorvated factory as 'the first Motorvated motorcycle ever produced'
Visiting history on a Norton wonderful..
Out today in deepest Cumbria getting some more miles on 'Black Bess', a lovely dry day but blooming cool the temperature was in single figures thank god for heated clothing. I like to go to some interesting places and add a little information in my pics to make it a little more interesting , so here is Pendragon Castle or what's left of it . It's a grade one listed building and apparently was built in the 12th century by Uther Pendragon the father of King Arthur , further additions were added in the 14th and 16 century. A gang of Scots came down in 1342 and buggered it (probably football hooligans) so it was rebuilt in 1660.![]()
It was sold in 1962 to a local land owner who still owns it there are signs on the gate stating keep out private property so I did. The smaller pic is what it looked like when built, , probably by John Bloor's housing company. I will update my thoughts on the 'new' Norton soon but I am growing to love it more every ride.

Looking good Clive. What did you do about the cylinder head / rocker post issues?Well I feel a bit humbled after being treated to those excellent images and their historic references. I had a lovely ride to work in a rare occurrence of what I have heard referred to in foreign climes as 'sunshine'; what we tend to know as 'not-rain' so I took a pickture of my 2017 961 just down the road from work in Birmingham's jewellery quarter and d*cked around with it in paintshop pro. I think this bike is just so gorgeous from any angle and now thanks to Stu at Motorvatedit is pulling like a train again. View attachment 114114
