FWIW, i'm not an employee or associated with the show, i did have 2 cafe racers in it last year, it's a great way to get a good look at over 100 bikes in a showroom setting.

There is also a link to photos of all the bikes from last year.

That Norton is beautiful. What makes it a "combat" Commando?

Thanks Canyon Carver, In 1972 Norton added the Combat option which included bigger carbs, higher compresion pistons and a radical cam. the combat bikes made about 15% more power than the base bikes. the combat engines were very unreliable though and Norton had to replace a lot of pistons and main bearings under warranty which lead to their reputation failing and eventually bankrupsy. late in 72 they de-tuned and discontinued the combat option so they are very rare to find. This one has had all the internals replaced, and updated plus electronic ignition added.

I went to the show and saw some nice bikes. I took a lot of pictures here is a link to my album on photobucket. I took pics of the show bikes and some of the bikes outside.
