Anytime I do a 10+ hour day of riding it takes me back to those first months of motorcycling when I would take such trips often just to spend as much time as I could on the bike. It makes me nostalgic for a younger back, more energy, and the novelty of riding not having diminished in the slightest. Looking forward to the San Francisco DGR this Sunday and a full day on my Bonneville. Cheers Freddie!

You’re so lucky to get the keys to the Norton Commando, Freddy. There are not all that many of them being produced, and those cost a pretty penny. They are not offered at all here in the USA. I would sell all 3 of my bikes and take a risk financially if I could have a Norton Commando for my last bike go-round but there is no chance of that opportunity even being available. At any rate, I am thankful that Norton chose to put you, one who is so eloquent and enthusiastic, on the bike to convey the essence and spirit of it to us all.

*Roads less travelled* Last Saturday I rode from South Warwickshire to The New Forest. South of Oxford the A34 was closed forcing me to "seek an alternative route". With no satnav I followed my nose and WOW! What a selection of country lanes I encountered, the pick of the choice being the B4494 between Wantage and Newbury. I finally ended up in Brockenhurst, and after a break to stretch my legs I continued on to Lymington Quay...what a fabulous place to watch the world go by for an hour or two. Heading home I took a circuitous route back through The New Forest taking 4 hours to get back home, but again, what a fabulous ride. Incidentally, my Honda NC750X returned a mighty 91mpg over the 318 miles I covered.

Nice to see you exploring my neck of the woods, Freddie. Norfolk roads are indeed biking heaven and those coastal areas are my own hunting ground. I've wanted a Norton for a long time now but thanks to your experience, I see it would never work as my only bike; better as a prized jewel, only to come out on dry days and for short trips. I recently did a Moto camping trip on my RE Classic 350 (only about 300 miles odd) and I couldn't fault the comfort on that. Only the power to overtake was lacking. Horses for courses, eh? 👍🏻

Great to see you so loose and relaxed on the bike and hanging off a bit in corners. It will help the bike stability mid corner if you position your head above the hand on the inside of the turn rather than what most people do is position the head on the opposite side.

This year I was in a bike show where some guys on Honda GoldWings showed up and I asked them, how about long distance riding on those. Their answer did not surprise me - they said that it's uncomfortable to sit on same sport in one position for prolonged time no matter the bike. Some bikes are worse in that respect but even most luxurious bike seats does not make 10h ride an easy one, since it's still sitting on a spot and not moving much. For me that's not a problem because I can concentrate and pay attention to traffic only for 3-4 hours, ride becomes dangerous sooner than butt starting to hurt.
