Lick of Paint

With the Norton being on ebay with 6 bids and still 6 days to go, I can now think about getting my Tank painted. But after a year of planning I still cant decide on what bloody colour it should be! - I really like metallic Red, Orange, or Blue....maybe a combination of two!! - why is it so difficult!

Maybe someone could make a suggestion or decide for me!

here are a few pics, the last one is my favorite!

Love this bike!

My Norton For Sale

My Norton Jubilee has been sitting in the shed for nearly a year now - It a few chips on the tank and a bit of flaky paint on the forks and the kick start return spring has broken. I don't have the time to paint and get her going again so she's up for sale

McQ's Desert Sled - I need a bigger Budget!

$84,240 [£52,118] paid for Steve McQueen’s 1963 Triumph Bonneville Desert Sled, built by stunt rider and off-road racing champ Bud Ekins and painted by iconic detailer Von Dutch (est. $50/65,000) [bonhams & butterfields lot 162] I get the impression Steve McQueen liked his machines green.
