Norton gone...
« on: April 22, 2013, 04:42:57 PM »
Just sold my MkIII 850 Commando proddy racer. Feel a bit miffed now, but my wrists, back, knees and arse are rejoicing. A friend has been nagging me to part with it for a while now so it's gone and there's an empty space in the garage  ;)

My '72 750 JPN coloured proddie racer (with the two exhausts on one side) went last year. I hadn't ridden it for a couple of years, having always taken the Mk3 Roadster instead. My brother-in-law offered to buy it over a few beers in the garage using the poor excuse that I needed the space.

I could still get on it but I realised that I no longer wanted to ride in the manner that a PR with a PW3 demanded.
