Marmite Commando Anyone? #classic motorcycle #norton #classicbike
Переглядів 96714 годин тому
Bike featured is Rick’s zany Commando. The bike left the Norton factory in 1972 as a 750cc MKIV Interstate, but Rick had other ideas. Having picked up a Street Scrambler tank at our Ardingly Bikejumble he decided to build his impression of a 1972 750SS. The paintwork is all Rick’s own work, but it’s a bit marmite; some folk love it, others don’t! Not sure if I even like it, but it’s a pleasure ...

    A great introduction to your A10. Good vid. I’m currently running the Michelin classics on my Interceptor 650. Find them to be better than the Road Riders, I have had on another motorcycle. Here’s to many more trouble free miles.👍

    One thing cannot be denied about the the 50s/60s British Bikes was how ridable they were, how manageable they were. Even the 650s were light weight compared to the modern equivalents. OK, they weren't as fast as the new stuff, but they were just as much fun with all that bottom end grunt. Drop them into top gear at 40mph & enjoy the ride. And you can quite as easily get killed doing 80 mph as you can doing 120mph. Most motorcycle deaths are not caused by the rider, they are caused by car drivers, especially cars drivers coming out on motorbikes at 'T' junctions. I don't know how any woman can safely ride the modern big stuff. I walk around the showrooms, looking at the new monster bikes available & the reach required from the seat to the handlebars is enormous, plus (of course) the colossal weight of them.

    I never understand why some people don't fit modern new tyres. Sticking with square profile Skid Masters. I'm not talking about semi race radials, just some sensible like Bridgestone BT 46, or Road riders, preferably not over 6 years old. Transforms a bikes ride for the better.

    Love the way your A10 wears its history of use on the outside, great to see a used old bike rather than a show pony.. I had a '52 plunger spuing Golden Flash for a while and loved it. My current Enfield has an electric start though which is a real bonus.

    Thanks for an interesting video from someone who uses their classic instead of just polishing it! My first big bike was a BSA A7 and i always regretted selling it. I recently got an 1960 A10 Gold flash, almost exactly like yours (black, as well). I am in the process of uprating the front brake too, as the standard single leading shoe brake is'nt the best.

    I didn't know that Motown was short for Motor Town, which makes total sense now that you said it. That bike has a ton of character. I dig it. It's really cool that it was first bought and owned by a woman. I can't imagine there was a ton of women riding British bikes (or motorcycles in general) in the US back then. It would be fun to learn more about her and the history of the bike.
