Wonderful motorcycles.
Still a pushrod OHV.
None of this gay, modern OHC or DOHC bollox.
Huge torque, enough bhp, red line at sensible numbers.
Hand made alloy tank & seat cowl.
Carbon fibre airbox & mudguards and flyscreen.
Top end suspension & brakes.
Expensive, lovely wire wheels and alloy rims.
22k is not outrageous for that, or overly expensive for what you are getting.
And the name....
21,950gbp.thats the amount immigration needs you to have a retirement extension.ON YOUR BIKE.:kma:
Norton still making some great-looking bikes. Your cheque is in the post.
Check out the current line up: Norton Motorcycles (UK) Ltd
Full amount pledged in dhss milk tokens:)
Enjoy the ride:sexy:
And a long-lasting timing chain, not a frigging timing belt which can break if you don't spend $ 500 getting it changed. My car is like this....pushrod but really smooth and although a V6, as good on gas as my old 4 cylinder because its computer-controlled.Quote:

Perhaps you are confusing OHV with OHC or DOHC, overhead cams driven by chains or belts.
As for $500 changing a belt?
Toyota charge 4k TB for a Hilux belt and tensioner bearing, parts and labour. Once every 100k kms.
Not excessive and rather good value for money.
I do the job myself for 2-2.5k in parts because i can, and i like to check other stuff simultaneously.
As for talking about the merits of 4 & 6 cylinder car engines, and modern efi, you are digressing and going rather off topic, as this is about wonderful motorcyles for 22k GBP, and not crappy cars.
He really just doesn't know much of anything.Quote:

What has really transpired is Ant needs help paying off his mortgage loan from his in laws taken out scores of years ago.
Please contribute to a most deserving brother-poster? :)
I tried to make an offer on this a couple of days ago, but the guy sold it. I thought it might have been a fun project/ride. He was asking 38K.

Err OK, but I've never had a mortgage loan from my in-laws. You must be confusing the shit you guys just make up with reality again. Thanks for the thought though.Quote:

:chitown:
How many more years until you got that loan paid, dude ? https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2019/03/rotfl-1.gif
Do you struggle with reading comprehension as well as being a low-life who abuses posters kids and stalks down their school info?
Long past time you took a good long hard look at yourself.
Are you an invalid or cripple?Quote:

This is the problem with forums and TD in particular.
Someone starts an interesting thread about something interesting, which then goes off onto run of the mill car engines and hideous invalid 3 wheeler Honda Phantoms for 38k.
Stick to talking about Norton motorcycles with alloy tanks for lots of money or start your own thread.
Like whatd'ya think about this 200cc Honda Phantom trike?
Is it a piece of shit?
Yes.
But if you are an invalid, i will recommend it.
This thread was started as a pisstake. Norton's fooking rich. He OWNS the Norton distributorship franchise in SEA.Quote:

My youtube videos of my recovery landed me an offer to appear on "Dancing With The Stars" but obviously I'm not that kind of media whore. Frankly, what would I do next? I'm passionate about teaching so I decided to become a low paid TEFLER in order to balance my karma for all of those wasted years spend in the in the MSM as a recovering addict/porn star.
I'm sure you understand.
Bu the knows how to valve the windows on a car which is really important to let out all the hot, fetid air he generates.Quote:
