Our home grown sweet corn tastes so good :-)
Oooooo I had one like it and this is a Sweet Orgasmic Memory for me !!!
Imagine, this was the Panegale of its time.
WOW! Thats wonderful ! Thank You for the chat earlier Barry , Steve Foster .
It is beautiful beyond words.
Sounds great
The Arter Matchless was still gjving Japanese fours a hard time in mid 70's saw one running 4th in one race WOW !
I have stolen this comment off another Penarse on a very similar film. Ahem” you can almost smell the Castrol R” Hahahahahahahahahaha and he got 14 likes hahahahahahaha
Purrs right along 👍🇺🇸
Beautiful !
so two years after it was made, they never started it again?
who dislikes this?!
Sounds like and old irrigation pump!
Maybe, but it pumps water like there's no tomorrow.
Fantastic bike, shame the engine pipe wasn’t re-chromed
It seems a little wrong not to bump start it but then I suppose with the value one can't risk it.

It's a very good looking bike, and puts most modern bikes to shame.
Sexy!
It was raced in South Africa into the mid50s, then it was no longer Competitive against the short stroke Norton Manx.
Paddy Driver!
Nice
I wish I had the time and money to do this full-time.
Superb bike
I can smell the Castrol R.
Men’s Perfume!
Do the air screw grandad
please its a MANX Norton ,,, not a Norton Manx,,,,that's as bad as saying a Robin Reliant or fiesta ford .. go sit on the naughty step
conan howard. Yes it your correct. My son is on his dads Manx Norton 😊
Wrong! It's a Norton Manx. I have a 1963 Norton Manx 30M (500cc) which I've had for 40 years. I have documentation of my bike including build schedule, parts lists, and correspondence from the Norton factory and it's always listed as a Norton Manx. You don't know what you're talking about.
Norton Manx .. Is the correct name! 40M = 350cc, 30M = 500cc.
@Robert Ryerson How one calls a bike is up to the individual. A Dominator is full Norton Dominator. Manx is full Norton Manx. Never heard say Dominator Norton. Just Dominator or lovingly Domi. So why Manx Norton? It is also Norton Electra and Norton ES 2. Excelsior Manxman. Triumph Daytona. Ferrari Daytona. Ferrari Dino. Fiat Dino.
@@dirkmul4802 It doesn't matter what pedantics think, it is/was always called a Manx Norton by anyone that was born before the 1960s
Norton-----------------still the best.

I like the way he kept the revs. down ensuring that the oil would get round properly...Don't ask me how I know.
hhoward14 The oil was returning fine. Usually I maintain revs at 3000 at startup to reduce cam wear, but, this engine had been rebuilt some 60 years ago and was an unknown quantity. The client didn't get it looked at so I was balancing maintaining oil pressure and revving an engine which hadn't been run for so long. I'll add the the cambox had been opened-up and lubricated prior to starting it up. Cheers.
That's pretty much what I thought, well done.
hhoward14 Cheers. It was difficult knowing what to do really - usually you start a manx and rev it fairly at fairly high revs which is supposed to reduce cam lobe wear. I'm always learning!
OOh! Fantastic!
That's 1951, only 5 years after WW11, and what a Beautiful piece of engineering, and a quick bike for its day.
It's still a quick bike.
I had a Manx 500 years ago. I sold it for a small fortune in '87 and regret it
the Manx was not invented 500 years ago
conan howard buzz off ass wipe
thedude 22 it was a play on words and with your comments hands the arsewipe baton to you!
Very nice re build! Nice to see a Manx Norton that will slow run.
