| 1396056 | 2015-03-09 22:24:00 | Wow, a jewel of an engine. Each cylinder 25cc! And about 20000 revs available! | Richard (739) | ||

| 1396058 | 2015-03-10 04:04:00 | We used to bludge rides of a Norton Dominator when we were about 16 or 17. Felt like a real beast. | Richard (739) | ||

Felt like a real beast. I love some of the old bikes but I am in awe of the engineering that has gone into the Japanese machines. That is why you cannot buy Nortons and other English bikes out of a showroom these days. Jap, followed an long way back, German, Italian and I suppose we must mention Harleys :( Look at the MotoGP and see the Slow-Mo shots.... fantastic how they hold on to the road Ken :) |

| 1396060 | 2015-03-10 10:21:00 | We used to bludge rides of a Norton Dominator when we were about 16 or 17. Felt like a real beast. A friend had a Norton Dominator in the 1950's. I didn't like it as it got a speed wobble on corners, probably something wrong with the rear suspension. I had an Arial Red Hunter at the time which was very stable. Prior to that I had a BSA M20 ex army. My last bike was a Triumph Thunderbird 1958, good looking machine but not as smooth as the BSA Star Twin, or AJS twin. My first bike I had as a kid was a 1914 Douglas Twin which I saved from a scrap heap. No clutch, total loss oil system, acetylene lamp & 26x2.5 clincher tyres. |
