Oh to stumble upon a horde like this...

Amazing stuff.

Still, that dealer sounds like some I've dealt with in the past. Actually I've got a cycle savage guy that's like that now. If you're not riding something that catches his attention and it happens to be one of his good days, you're not leaving his hard with so much as a starter button.

Wish I had the money to have that kind of 'business'

You always hear about these kind of things - the family has an old DaVinci in the attic, or someone finding an issue of Action Comics #1... How come this never seems to happen to me?

Off topic :

That Norton reminded me of this modern day beauty they have came up with :



If only I can afford to have one
Some 16,000 £ would make it at least 27 to 30 thousand euros with taxes in Finland. Well, it's time to start spending on lottery again

Good call, here is the link to the video.

I will say that the norton is a damn sexy machine. It's not quite fair to compare them, but historical I understand why they would. You could buy the Bonnie, drop a bucket load into her and get her up to a level to run with (or outrun) the Norton with change left over. Off the shelf, no it's not up to scratch. That commando is dead sexy though. If I had the money I'd have one to be sure.
