Dream bike. Perfect weather. Amazing roads. What more to ask for?! (Pit stop at a pub perhaps? 😁🍺) Great to see it being ridden and not kept in a glass cabinet ✊🏻 well done
Ian, awesome ride on your Domi. Loved the sound and the way you rode it. I bet everyone wishes they had a 'block' like that to ride around! Camera worked well :)
Nice to see and hear the bike you seem to be enjoying your ownership,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated thank you ☘️☘️☘️☘️like your own local tt circuit
lol, I've just re watched the start of the video and noticed the Silver Fern on the car number plate. South or North Island? I'm Canterbury; I've been riding 55 years and back to a bike I started with, a 1970 Triumph T100R. All the best and stay safe.
North Island - not far from Pukekohe. You've got a few more years in the saddle than me. Started with my Dad's bikes in the early 80's including a smoky Jawa Speedtwin 350, BSA and Matchless bikes. First of my own was a seemingly mental 2 stroke Yamaha RD400 with cafe racer bars etc. :)
Been in NZ 34 years and had 14 bikes (so far). seven BMW medium to large tourers, loved the K75C. Got too many tickets, so went to the track. Started with a 125 Honda/Suzuki bucket, then built a 350 Suzuki Post Classic (full 350 with PE175 pistons). Then built a 250 Rotax engined BEARS bike, which nealy killed me, because the frame I'd had made, broke at Teratonga on the last lap while trying to take back first place. I gave up racing lol. Life is more sedate these days and love tinkering with a bike who's like an old friend. I tried to find an RD350 for classic racing, but like hens teeth, so went Suzuki.
@@richardt.4224 I also got to many tickets... But went down the four wheels route - did every track worth doing in Europe, did a roadie through the States with the car when I moved back to NZ (Tail of the Dragon etc) and a trackday at Laguna Seca (fantastic track). The Norton you'll be pleased to know didn't escape - did a trackday at Hampton Downs on it. ua-cam.com/video/buzVGSzsJME/v-deo.html
What a bike, thank you for sharing. I was also enjoying the countyside you were riding through! For a moment I thought it was the UK, but noticed the buildings were nearly all single level; so are you in New Zealand?

i thoroughly enjoyed every second, not many vids of these nortons being ridden, the roads look great and near empty
What a lovely sound 😍 As soon as I have enough money, I will own a Dominator, too! Greetings from Germany
Ian, awesome ride on your Domi. Loved the sound and the way you rode it. I bet everyone wishes they had a 'block' like that to ride around! Camera worked well :)
Great roads to enjoy the Dominator, beautiful sounds.
A wonderful ride, right at your own driveway! The bike sounds great! Your driveway makes me nervous.
Looks like a perfect place to ride on an awesome bike.
BEST UA-cam VIDEO. Also the best ASMR one ! Well driven, outstanding bike
Thanks for posting this, mate. Eight inchies of snow here, and the Indian FTR is in storage....
And I watch it again! I’m sure hoping that you’re going to post some more riding vids Ian,awesome mate!
Just love this,don’t know how many times i’ve watched it! 🏍️
Great video Ian Nice to see it being used as it should. (and its a very big block)
You still getting out and about?
Sweet bike. If Norton built bikes like this, they would be still in business today.
Man! What a dream ride. Awesome engine noise. Motorcycle is NORTON! The rest is literature.
Snortin’ Norton

Great ride; great film. Thanks for posting!
Lucky to get your Norton!
Some would say unlucky... Pretty much sorted now, it's a keeper and won't be a garage Queen.
Nice riding and a beautiful sound. Stay free and enjoy.✊✌️
Well that was a joy to watch, cheers!
