I saw that last Saturday at Alices. I rode this. I'm cleaning and polishing it but not restoring.

This is my daily driver. 70000miles, nothing but regular maintenance yet. By now I need to replace the exhaust headers, that's about it.

My original 1973 Norton Commando. I can throw some dirt on it if you prefer?
