    New from Whangaparaoa (69Norton)

    Hi all - new to the site.

    After years of two strokes, Im now riding a 1969 Norton Dominator 'Mercury' (650cc)

    Am in the middle of getting it back on the road, but am keen on 'Cafeíng' it slightly - ie Manx tank/Cafe seat and rearsets etc - nothing too serious anyway.

    cheers
    Paul
