It's such a shame the track is in such deplorable condition. Bike looks fab. The family must be proud to see the old Norton in its natural habitat. Best of luck going forward. You have a real gem on your hands.
Thanks! AMP has no shortage of ... "character"... but we love it anyway. 100% club-owned/operated, tonnes of history and you won't find a better group of people anywhere.
I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. Did a bit of mid-lifing over covid and finally went for my motorcycle license. I made it out to the track a few times this season and I really dug the old school bikes more than I thought I would. Looking forward to seeing this one.
What's the point in making it all the way to mid-life if you can't have some fun? Be sure to come by the paddock and say hi next time you're up; there's always coffee and a spare chair available!
That's a great Commando, with all the right parts, the previous owner knew what he was doing. I'm interested to know what gearbox you have, and did he add a 3rd Isolastic mount underneath between the engine/gearbox ? Have a great season and please keep us posted.

"total loss" = no alternator. There are no lights, horn, etc. so just needs enough electricity to fire the plugs. removing the charging system reduces drag on the motor which means more hp at the wheel. Belt drive replaces the OE primary chain, which is heavy and inefficient. Also easier to maintain.
@@veritech3712 the primary drive isn't total loss that would be the ignition (presumably battery)the primary drive is belt and air clutch, I have the same setup on my trident (Norton clutch).
Dramatic elevation changes, all corners, narrow, terrifying. Either Jack Canfield loved riders or he was trying to kill us all off. The younger Canfields assure me it's the former...but I wonder about it every time I pass start/finish and look down into T1.🤔
Alot of weight on the frt wheel ... Might be worth breaking it down rotate the tire and reseat .... See if it takes less . I'd mark current positions and rotate 90 degrees.
Worth a shot but I suspect the forks are binding and that's forcing weight on the front. Might lose the Hyde fork brace and see if that frees up travel/takes weight off the front tire.
