The way He looks at that cx500 with disgust is funny... as those little Hondas are an excellent base for a real nice Café build

HATE 😂lol But That Was Back then.g

Edward Tudor Pole is the man! He is an icon! Like very much to see him again in this short film!

This is one of the best shirt films i have seen in I cant even remember ... This film sums up almost everything many of us love about riding.

This is my Dads film, very proud :)

Miss belle Wallis were you in los angles in burbank2013 with a jaguar need rack bushings.you were arciving old rocker stuff.

Best short I've seen in a long time. I nearly pissed myself laughing at the end when the Ton Up boy wakes up and the bird is off on his bike. Got to love the puddle of oil next to the Mercedes as he is looking out the window, that is spot on.

I bought my 1958 Norton Dominator 99 cafe racer in 1969 when I was 19 for £100. It was just like the bike in this film. I used to see it every night leaving the factory where I worked as an apprentice and I thought I just had to have that bike,it was the most awesome motorcycle I had ever seen.I sold my lambretta sx200 and bought the Norton. I was so chuffed with the bike, the noise,the speed and the way it looked I'm sure I would never have sold it although it nearly killed me.

LOL Sx 200 LAMBO YOU SAW !!!The LIGHT 😂😂😂😂😁😀WELL DONE M8 g

The Rocker, Eddie Tudor-Pole, is an old Punk from a band call "Ten pole Tudor". And the Tudor part of his name? He's related to Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen Mary and Elizabeth I!

Too bad Joe Strummer couldn't have at least made a cameo in this. Still miss you, Joe.

The sounds and sights brought it all back hard. Nothing growls thru the gears more sweetly than a well tuned Norton! Luckily they are still a somewhat regular sight. At least in the good riding areas. That Benz and the bird both seemed expensive propositions, as the delightful film proved. Loved it!

I know wtf

I have the same bike and just came across this film...BRILLIANT!!!! Thank you and you dad:)

Fastback 750 Commando ? Just like the one I had. Then 810 Dunstall conversion, Stellite tipped valves and Quaife 5 sp Box. 92 deg overlap, Re-profiled new cam then 105 Deg. 20 T front sprocket. Pistons, rings then blue print re-build. Boyer ign. Bloody all sorts. !!. Went OK.

I wish I saw this in hi-res! Stunning movie!

Thanks for putting this up! That was a real nice break. Then again, it reminds me that I do love those old corker helmets and that I sorely miss mine with its black and red concentric stripes. Someone stole it off my grubby old Norton N15CS back in the '90s. I suppose that if I spot it some day on the road, things may suddenly go rapidly and shockingly tragic for its wearer and bereaved family. But that's enough of that...Happy thoughts! Really, thanks again, or rather: cheers!

Sandy brightened my day!

You have to love this.

Well filmed professional so what else love ❤️ the riding so nothing I can add !!Let the good times roll it’s not going to be forever,if only it was,

Next to the BSA A65, the Norton Commando is the most beautiful motorcycle in the world! And the most beautiful car in the world is the Mercedes Pagoda! Both this so cool short film to see and especially to hear, it does not get better!

ok, I bought a 1961 Big Valve Super Rocket two years ago and fitted it with narrower mudguards, flatter handlebars and a duplex brake. Very cool bike with a great sound!!!I've been driving an SL for 25 years, albeit an R107 (380SL). Unfortunately, I can't afford a Pagoda.@@geoffreycarson2311

Love the sound of those Classic British pipes.

Unusual and enjoyable film, but for the time being implied, the Commando is a bit late, should have been a Dominator, A10, or pre unit Bonnie, something from the late 50's-early 60's. I'm a British bike nut, but it's a shame he chose a CX do be so disdainful towards. Probably THE best and most reliable plodder Japan ever produced and built to do exactly what the Commando was built for, a job they both performed admirably well, except the CX starts, even in the wet, believe me I've ran both!!

Would love to ride in the tunnel that long with my cafe racer. Always find riding in tunnels fascinating.

bring back the good times

Couldn't have been made in the 60's. Cx500 Honda at the light wasn't available until 1978.

Wicked. Great vid.

Nice. It made me smile.

Como me encanta este video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

felicitaciones, se capta perfecto la esencia de esta tribu urbana.

Awesome, good fun!!!

5:35 the best angle view of the bike for me.

excellent film thank you for sharing

I did one better in traffic at a stop light. Instead of paying attention to my bike and the light changing I was ogling the pretty girl in the car beside me,I decided to wave Yeah..I used my left hand..the bike snapped forward and in a panic I grabbed the front brake lever,the bike nose-dived,the rear wheel came off the ground and I fell over to the road and the bike landed on top of me uggh!!! DOHHHH!!! I couldn't get out of there fast enough and find a place to go and hide my embarrassment! Haha!! Awesome short film

That was hilarious! ;)

Great film.

Great short movie awesome

@jasonlajoie i think the statement was one of loving jest. A honda simply runs all the time while the beloved Norton occasionally has....troubles...shall we say?

Really enjoyed please make some more awesome !!!

Kind of ironic how the CX500 that appears around 4:50 is now being used to create some really cool cafe racer builds

@@SpeedTriple59 yeah I guess a CX500 dispatch courier bike that passed 1,000,000 miles a decade ago is crap. But then again Brit Bikes sure know about toilets as they just plain gave up on innovation (adding an e-start to a 1979 T140, or even an 850 Commando that added 30lbs and didn't function reliably certainly doesn't count)

top film, i enjoyed it

pretty sure the original cafe racers were 16 - 20 years old, not 36 - 40

Awesome!!!🤤❤️

Iwas Cafe Racer at age of 17 18 great days in SW London Norton Dommie 99 600 still ride now after all these years Suzuki SV650 !😂

It had a Honda with a single sided swingarm too, which gave me the sense that he was feeling dated. Him and the other cafe guy weren't exactly young. It had an air of "fading culture" to me.

What a movie!!!!

Tamara Beckwith is quite stunning

superb.

Just started a CL360 build a few days ago.. this just confirmed it's completion.

Frigging Sweeeeeeeet Film Nice one

love everything about this video! dam gorgeous blond too😍

Ten Pole Tuder? THAT Edward Tuder Pole ? Joe Strummer? wow. Thanks!

Great!!!!

Nice film.

At about 2.16 is that the the junction of the A4 where it was sprayed "good morning lemmings ? "

The UNEPROACHABLE NORTON !!!😁g

Wild thing... you makes my hart siiing, you makes everything groooving,, wild thing........, yeah!

Love my 1978 Yamaha xs650 (the European looking one not the special cruiser type)

classic short-the norton-the rocker-the cafe "right"-the beautiful girl,the mercedes pagoda-the twist and the fab eddie-a british tarantino:-))

thats ediie tenpole, off ten pole tudor and tammara beckwith.

awsome!

I’m sure that’s eddy kid driving at the end

Good movie

what about the engines if their really old? cleaning will be sufficient for it to be great again?

theres nothing better than a hot girl in leathers ,its so cool to see eddie kidd he was my hero back in the day and he still is my hero cool

This is fucking sick !!!!! love it

I have a Norton Commando, too.

Wunderbar...

Reminds me of the motorcycle run in Rumblefish
