Күн бұрынI bought a barnfind 1975 Norton Commando. Last time it was a running motorcycle was in 1980. Engine is seized. This will be a series of videos getting it unstuck and getting it running back on the road. Enjoy the pain and joy associated with reviving and subsequently restoring an old vintage british bike. Enjoy!@bensbritishbikes5279

Yes! Good point. Cylinder head was already off when I bought it so that’s why

Do you ever wonder, when making these videos, if someone out there watching will suddenly realise that 'That bike used to be mine! (my dad's, my uncle's...)'. Wouldn't that be marvellous? Btw that Commando was my lusted-over bike when I was 15. I even painted 'Norton Commando 850' on my bicycle. Looking forward to more videos m8.

Yea I do wonder but in this case the owner has passed and his son sold it to me. I see these situations a lot. Perhaps it’s time to trade up your bicycle for a Norton?

Cant help think that PlusGas would have been quicker than WD!
