Yes I'm sure I could get them to take a few horses out of the engine for a old timer like me I have to decide what to do with my fireblade as the mileage is creeping up & I might change it in March but I really thought today I would see something & make a decision but I've not been grabbed by anything I can afford so looks like I will do another year on the fireblade. loads of stuff to look at today & I brought a new alpinestars two piece leathers, gloves & new boots to match so it was worth the trip up today. Another pic of me on a commuter for work   |

I went yesterday and to be honest didn’t think it was out worth getting excited about.I didn’t spend a single penny visiting so suppose that made it worthwhile,bragged our way in free of charge and no one on the gate of disabled car park when we left so no charge there either. I did like this CanAm and hopefully test ride one next spring  And one of these Nortons would look nice in the garage too  And a proper blast from the past and still looks as good as it did in the70s  |

One for us older members lol. Remember seeing what could have been this actual bike in 1971 when BSA/Triumph launched the new range.

love that norton, I'd just like the pegs a bit more rearset and the bars a bit lower and a single seat and a lightly oiled michelle rodriguez...

Yes a BSA Fury they did a Fury SS which had upswept exhaust/off road styling.The Triumph versions were Bandits.They never went into production and only one or two actually had engine internals,Norman Hyde has a working complete bike.Sad as this bike could have saved BSA,it was the last engine designed by Edward Turner
