  @@savingclassicmotorcycles Hello Bob. I can assure you the pleasure was all mine. Your Dad was a great help to me and your mum so kind. Wishing Philipa speedy recovery. I home resting up now. I have asked my old friend Dave Clarke if he has ever bumped into you at a bike meeting. Dave has a deep association with the Ace cafe in London. BTW. My claim to fame is being the owner of a Zundapp motor scooter fitted with a Watsonian side car. Classic now but dreadful machine, so much so my dad burned it in the front garden of 230 London Road, Slough in about 1966. Incidentally there is a Zundapp Bella featured in the film Bridge of Spies. I will definitely keep in touch. Take care, stay safe and well. Adrian

  Hiya mate. I didn;t want to keep replying on that other guy's channel. I remember coming across you a while back, you had a Yamaha LC that you were selling on if I remember correctly. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you and your dad all the best, it sounds like you are all going through some hard times, and I can only offer you my best wishes and prayers for you all. We were talking about how duff the himalayan is/was , which , as I said, was a real shame. I liked the bike, other than the brakes it suited the roads I ride around on here in South West Scotland, and the forest trails I bimble along every chance I get. It seems there are some really badly put together bikes from R.E. , but dare to criticise and it's like you've told the owners they have an ugly baby or something equally personal. I can't see the new 450 being an improvement, from what I've heard it feels heavier, has less of the chug low down the old air cooled one had. That is a gorgeous bike you are working on there. My pal's big brother had a Triumph T120 back in the day, it was the first bike I was ever on, as he picked me up hitchiking home drunk one night, and gave me a life home flat out on back roads with no helmet. All he ever did was work on it. We bought honda's and they never missed a beat ;) If I remember rightly you're from Notts area or thereabouts. I lived in Mansfield Woodhouse for 15 years, and had quite a few bikes while I was there. Anyhoo, as I said, orra best to you and your family, and heres to better times. Stew (Hutchie)

  Hi Stew thanks so much for the comment the kind wishes it’s all really appreciated every time someone takes the time to message an I always pass it onto dad, an yep that’s me I used to have a few Elsie’s seems like a lifetime ago now :) just got the one now which was actually the first motorcycle dad and ever got together. Live really near to the cat and fiddle in Macclesfield great roads to ride on, all being well should be living in Devon in a few months. Always love hearing others motorcycle history and tales. I really agree if they had focused less on more tech and more on reliability that would have been better I think for the 450 stuck with the old platform an made the improvements, I’m still running my other channel it’s called adaptableadventurerider now an yep it’s about adventure riding ^_^ for now at least. It was interesting watching Nathan Millwards thoughts in his latest 450 video doesn’t sound to good, it’s probably between the new 400x or a t100 next. We had an 865 for a while but I found the gearshifts better on the Nortons. So be interesting to see how Triumph have moved there game on. The south west is absolutely beautiful we were gonna move up into d&g just before dad found out about his cancer we’ve gotta stay in England so he can continue to see his current specialist hence the move to Devon they’ve been brilliant with him letting him do that so that’s a relief :) guess life is full of so many twists an turns that’s for sure 👌 happy riding mate an thanks for taking the time to comment

  Indeed :) she sure handles like she’s on rails even coasting haha! It’s wild infact having ridden the eras of Nortons I’ve got so far as to how good the handling was back on the 1920s certainly got the Norton handling DNA right back then. Still pinch myself that I’ve got her.

  @@savingclassicmotorcycles Re the long push home, I once pushed a Lambretta from Ormskirk to St Helens over ten miles as it would have been nicked or at best stripped if I had left it, and it was pretty much my only possession of any worth so push it was my only option. To add to this the gearbox has locked up so I had to hold the clutch in at the way ! It was February and I started off with a heavy coat two sweaters and a Tee shirt by the time I got home I was stripped to the waist😀

Being my neck of the woods I got drenched on mine lol was down to the t shirt and roasting though, nightmare was I made it all the way home 10 miles huge hill to get to my house get right to the top of it pushing an slipped on a bit of gravel in the wet exhausted lol couldn’t have made it up ended up with 1 flat tanker on top of me an a bent footrest so that was lucky escape ^_^ it’s always those moments you never ever forget an look back on fondly I think, what’s the saying character building haha!

  I'm very curious to know how you painted the chrome parts: the handlebars and especially the exhaust pipe. This one interests me because it's already very difficult to paint chrome but even more so on a part that rises to a very high temperature. I also have a Norton 16H, which has been in its original state since an old restoration. It drives very well but eventually I would like to give it back its military livery. (It's a W frame). I really like the Chocolate color. Is this a painting that exists or did you have it made from a sample?

• 
  @savingclassicmotorcycles9 ай бұрын

  Hi Xavier thanks for taking the time to reply :) my bars were in bare metal and the same for the exhaust. You can get chrome removed. I used a paint which was the closest thing for the silver bits to Cadium plating that I could find. The Scc2 brown is an actual colour :) mine was one another enthusiast had matched from console inside a tank and was referred to as farrant brown at war paint. If I was to do it again although the 15% eggshell is harder wearing I'd get it in a matt. It's important to use red oxide underneath for the correct base. Two websites that are super worth checking out are wdnorton.nl and wdbsa.nl the forum on the BSA one is brilliant and Robs Norton website is full of an unbelievable amount of information there's also a book on them called British forces motorcycles in the back of the book is all the contract lists and frame number ranges you can work out what the original census number was and year and this will tell you which of the different colours it should be there was a few through the years! :) an I think that's always an important detail to get right we also found lots of original bits of paint on the bike which I show throughout the video. well worth getting involved on the forum though its a brilliant place and full of very knowledgeable people.
