me shudders!!! i once got asked to race a norton 750 for a guy that was gonna buy it from someone & the buyer wanted it raced as in giving a check over before he parted with the cash, well i raced it & couldn,t wait to get off it it was a pile of dog doo, gear change on wrong side for a start & when going around corners the thing wouldn,t lean just wanting to go straight on, he still bought it???? we later found it had only one spring in front forks, death trap.
it was a sigh of pure relief when chequered flag was waved.

i,ve bought my steel from a supplier up near me, thought about buying as a kit but decided to have a go myself
cheers
andy

Some would say 1965 was a good year where others would say a lot of loons were born then.......
