Noticing that fat front tire. Have to ask, is he planning on some TROG Wildwood beach racing? Because that looks like it will be fun.

I'll be there with my Commando, assuming I get it up to snuff. Been working other projects.

Might have to check that out.

My dad had a 500T. In the early-mid 60's he chopped the frame to splice in plunger suspension from some Triumph, and he rode that Norton on the street with no lights, mirrors, or other street equipment up until he got a 650 Tiger - no inspection for MCs back then. At that point the 500T was parked in the basement, where it sat capturing my imagination all through my childhood, and where it remains several decades later covered in dust...
