Megaphones came with it. Will chew the fat for a bit before I decide what to do.
Going to come clean here - I don't have much in the way of yardsticks to measure it against. I only recently got back into bikes. Grew up riding a load of my Dads motley collection of BSA's Jawas etc. Spent a few years on a cafe racered Yammy RD400 which seemed insanely powerful at the time. I bought the Norton because if I didn't the opportunity might not come again. For what its worth suspension seems a little to track focussed (I do a lot of trackdays in a tin top so have some idea in that area), front ok but back hops around on bad seal/undulations. Seems to tip in quite nicely and no problems with quick changes of direction. Steering lock is hopeless but not surprising. Riding position aggressive of course and you'd struggle if you weren't in shape or getting a bit long in the tooth. But loving every minute or at least I was till this afternoon.
As you may have guessed from my previous post the ghost of Lord Lucas the Prince of Darkness himself reached out and struck me down in the middle of nowhere.
A quick stop for a scenic shot you may be thinking...
ah no... Ironically a few years ago I attempted to cross the USA in a small British sports car - I did make it, eventually... But clearly didn't learn my lesson!
