in the shed....

...took the afternoon to clean the shed...the pan is finished and ive ridden it a few times over the last two days...it rides beautifully...the narrowglide does wonders...thursday is delivery to the owner, my very close friend joe....he hasnt seen it at all so im sure he will have a nice afternoon that day... in the meantime the model 18 gets some attention...the rebuilt maggy to go back on and some final things before it goes to its new home up north....it will be missed here ..its such a beautiful bike...so many details added and altered over its long life to make it handle better and go faster.... next week im gonna turn my attention to finishing the mark 1 le mans and starting on mikes wl build....

I'd always go with George's opinion concerning old Nortons. He's the master, I'm just an admirer. ;)
