I must be one of the few that used my M1. Had a 25 year old Honda before I even wrote the test. Insurance was cheap. Putting around suburban roads for a few weeks helped me out alot. I think the restrictions for an M1 are pretty small. Dont they have cc limits for new riders in Europe? I'd get...

If it were my bike id get a used engine, drop it in myself (motorcycles are pretty basic machines) and worry about salvaging/rebuying the kickass motor as I rebuild my wallet.

I called earlier this year looking for help with a tire and there was a voicemail saying they were retiring and weren't accepting any new work.

Just received my kickstart lever today from RGM Norton. Cost me 20pounds to ship via Royal Mail from the UK and came to my door with $0 owed. Took about a week and a half, i ordered the part two Fridays ago.

Honestly, anything with two wheels and an engine is fine. Im not a fan of the "soa reject" culture that gravitate to the brand but I do REALLY dig the old bombers. I plan on hunting down a knucklehead someday. About your dad, mine always wanted a Norton so of course so did I. Last season I got...

Im waiting on a part from the UK as we speak. Hopefully it'll be here soon and ill update the exact costs for you. I purchased some slip-ons from Italy on ebay two seasons ago. No duties. They were sitting on my porch one afternoon. I can't recall how that worked.

I can't speak for the Magna but I had a 84 450 nighthawk for a few years when I first got into biking. The thing was bulletproof. It never let me down even though I didn't treat it the greatest. In three years all I needed to fix was a snapped clutch cable and a new battery (I left it in over...

A new Norton Commando to match my old one. Not sure if they bring the old hassles with them, also the price is a bit much to swallow

Not sure how the new Monsters are but I sure love my 696. You might have seen me buzzing around town, don't see too many Ducatis in brantford.

L-twin fan for the most part, but i recently acquired an old British twin (Norton Commando) which sings to me. Nothing sounds like it.

2012 Monster here. The only issues ive had were self-made. Maintenance isn't nearly as harmful to the wallet as it used to be apparently.

i usually stop once its too damn cold for me to enjoy it, which can change year to year. I dont have heated gear either. Salt is nasty so i also stop once that craps hit the roads. This year i finised two weeks ago because im an idiot and sliced my hand up bad. Severed a tendon in throttle...

Thats a pretty low exhaust. Probably thinking something closer to the seat? Givi has a handful of frames, i was checking their website looking for something for my 696 Monster which has pretty high dual pipes. I know on my bike those Ogio's would be resting on the side of my cans.....probably...

I like them both but the Propeller logo and boxer engine can't sway me to pay that much. Monster's are a few grand cheaper which i think is a better comparison. The Scrambler is kinda neat but i thought it was going to be cheaper. I dig Duc's but i'd be hard pressed to buy one.

Next bike is an 899 Panigale...next spring if i can keep the wife off my back. If not the following one. Money no object, holy grail, orgasm worthy bike? Vincent Black Shadow/Lightning
