The Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) was founded in 1954 in New England and is now one of the largest organizations of antique motorcycle enthusiasts in the world, with membership of over 12,000 in the United States and around the world.
The AMCA aims to preserve, restore and operate motorcycles which are at least 35 years old and therefore termed "antique". Ownership of an antique motorcycle is not required to become a member.

fiberglass tank side covers and (sob) SEAT PAN. RIGHT HAND SHIFT.. one up, 3 down. Dump those junk AMALS - mine DISTORTED THE BORES when WARM - idled at 3000 rpm. Substituted with single Mikuni... Bub replica mufflers. PrinceOfDarkness electrics..
I have had 2 of these, in 69, 2 months after my 17 birthday I purchased my first brand new Norton 750 Commando, I never had any problems like what you’re having starting, whether it was in the depth of winter snow on the ground, or in the heat of the summer, never late for work, ha ha 😂, you might find you’ve got cheap fuel in that tank, as we all know nowadays there are funny additives in them, Not sure whether I like the yellow or not, Definitely do not like the Siamese pipes, from 17 to about 25-26 , I had two Norton commandos one Norton dominator, chopped, A rally wisp, and two Bonneville, In the midnight, I became a Harley rider, And I have had four of those, I currently own a Softail deuce, And I’m in my 70s, And I think I’m retired living in France, 😂,
Looks like driving a truck from the 18th century. I know it doesn‘t exist, but the dynamics of a potato stuck in a bucket full of screws can‘t be much different. Even though, I believe those bikes can be more fun than that.
Very nice. Just bought a 79 T140. Past owner did a cafe-style upgrade. I'm just looking for some fine-point ideas to make it mine. The look of different mufflers and so on.
It’s just amazing how time can ignore some things and so readily destroy others . Thank you for sharing this nicely preserved part of history . WOW what a treat . It will likely out live several more generations is the enviro crazy’s don’t have it crushed first
I had an 850. It took much more of a kick to start it than what you are doing. Try jumping up in the air and kicking out your foot as you come down. Mine had 11.5 to one compression ratio and SS cams.
Will someone please explain how this is possible? And please, hold the foolishness. We know it’s a mechanical device that’s somehow allowing a kid to kick over this bike. Otherwise, there’s no possible way a kid can start the bike. Is there a compression relief valve somewhere? Also, I believe a compression relief valve wasn’t installed as original equipment. Can someone from the Antique Motorcycle Association, explain?
