I thought the disc brake was 72 and the 750 was gone in 73.
But who can forget the Highrider, early factory custom.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
This beautiful yellow Norton came out of hiding for the first time in 39 years for the Pukekohe NZCMRR Classic Festival display this year.
Robbie Dean, with Paul Pavelitich beside him on the GS1000.
The Norton is currently in my care.
I was quite surprised how heavy they were. Had a bit of time on the dyno last year or so methanol blah blah, but not as slim as they look.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I remember watching Robbie on the Norton vs Glen Williams on an H2 and I think Vince Sharpe maybe on a Z1 doing laps at Pukekohe. Roger Freeth may have been somewhere around as well. 3 totally different bikes with not a whole lot separating them
In Swanson this morning a mint standard looking and sounding 850 rode past while I was going for coffee. I don't want one but I do like the look of them
The Norton today.
I can't figure out how to turn it the right way up
Maybe it won't leak that way?

I remember watching Robbie at Levels on an earlier incarnation of that bike. It may have been his first visit there too.
I think at that time it was still running as a proddy bike. Anyway, he'd obviously not found out how to adjust the isolastics - the only time the wheels were in line was down the back straight. Frightening to watch. I told him that some years later when Kirby and I ran him in the SI in his F1 championship season - he reckoned I should have seen it from his seat....
The rear brake is on the right (wrong) side too.
