So I went to visit this guy today, looking at another bike he's got that I'll likely buy. And... he's got this. Kinda spendy, but if you're looking for one... He's also got a Triton that is amazing, ground up build with all race parts, $12.5K. And a Velocette 350 single that was a race bike in Australia. For you Norton folks he's got NOS Norton engine parts, including a shit ton of racing stuff (cams, valves, pistons, etc.). And he's got a few clunkers (Ascot, anyone?) The 350F is gonna be mine, but I don't have the wallet to be a Brit bike guy at this point. He says he gets calls on stuff from around the country so maybe Norton guys on here know him already, but I thought I'd spread the word if anyone's interested. And no, I'm not getting anything out of it. The guy was cool, we jawed for a while, running the same shop in the same place in Hyde Park since the 1970s, and he's retiring.
