What bike? Seriously, that Norton comes from Oregon. Not a single British part on it. The guy used to call himself Vintage Rebuilds, or restorations, or something like that. He was using original Norton cases and stuff for awhile but has since moved on to all of his own stuff. Beautiful bikes and first class work all the way, but Nortons in name only. Kind of like "Indian", "Excellsior Henderson", and even Triumph if the truth be known. The bike world has a now well-established tradition of resurrecting old names in the hopes of establishing instant credibility. This one doesn't need to resort to that.
