My old bike

My brother has my old Norton for the last 46 years and won’t sell it back to me. He doesn’t ride anymore it just sits in his garage with eight BSA’s. I think he just wants to torture me. He 80 and I’m 68. It differently been awhile.

    It’s a bugger when they are not ridden but I can understand not wanting to let them go ?

      Russell Taylor, I try to work on all my bikes but it getting harder with all the electronics. My brother lives in Ohio and I live in GA. I was just up there for his eighth birthday. I got the old girl going and went for a ride. I managed to get four of the BSA’s running for him he likes to hear them run. It makes you wonder how long you have to ride.

    For sure. I am 63 and hope to ride for at least another 10 years, perhaps longer on 3 wheels ?
