freshened up my dommie as well
freshened up my Norton Dominator as well it looks nearly as good as it did the day it was bought in 1962 , it is very original no replica parts on the Dommie all are original or I have fixed / refurbished them

hours spent
big john lost count of the hours , the problem these days is finding some with the skills to do things like lace a rim up , one of my tradesman when I was an appy offered to teach me how to lace rims , but I chose the pub and chasing girls , I regret it now

I have a 75 Commando
I have a 75 Commando Roadster, but only had it for 14 years. :-). It doesn't seem that common to have real interests in both boats and bikes, or is that just my faulty perception?
