Damn Fine! I started prepping my 850 Commando to race in the post classic class with the local Historic MC Club. Laced up some nice 18 inch Acront alloy rims with ten gauge spokes. Put some sticky Dunlop's on and went and got my comp licence on the the bike. Nothing beats that feeling of lining up on the grid! Sweet video well done!
that is one healthy sounding motor. and you were getting a proper tab on down the straight too. good to see the old british iron giving big grin factors after all these years. thanks for sharing the clip.
Watching this video is the perfect way to spend part of an overcast November afternoon. Wow, thank you so much for posting this! Studio monitor headphones really bring out the chilling sound of your mill, great quality, front/rear cams too. Your body english during this run is textbook perfect. I especially liked the look over your left shoulder at 5:49 Subscribed and faved. -Bill
Yes, it was good to see Norton out at the TT, their race bike was sort of a bitsa (Aprilia V4 engine in a Spondon frame) but I hope they keep plugging away with the new bikes.
The sound of that big twin is so much better than the crappy music people ruin so many motorsport videos with on here. Thank You for this treat.

The sound of a Norton is church music. Only thing close is a Guzzi twin. The best. Thank you for this video and awesome ride.

Thanks for the ride-along!
I love the sound. Great video and great views. Good idea to put the camera front and back.
That thing hauls zass. Walridge are good to deal with too.
Thanks! Yes, Walridge have been good to me...!
love the battle scars on the leathers man! ya got skill!
Simply put brilliant!
Good job
I think nortons are probably the best sound motorcycles ever.
If you like this one, look up ' 1972 Norton 750 Races Mosport ' for the my most recent race video- some cool camera shots in that one.
Tanner, I agree!
Wow, you're haulin' the mail at 2:15!
nice vid man
@MotoMUSEUM A Gopro HD Hero- they work great.
its great video, how much estimate top speed Doug?
I think Mike will profit on that one, great vid, how much of your engine is still norton?
Hey... What camera do you use?!
I thought that some time the tachometer would leave his base and would hit your helmet.

Only the head.....
