Nessie

[pf1]

I was looking for some Norton parts on Norman Whites site and came across some pictures of Nessie on there. Maybe people have already seen these but then again maybe they haven't.

saw Nessie 2 one time in Spa at the 24 hours, maybe in 1977 or 78. I was absolutly impressed. Never seen such a bike before, Difazio front, exhaust over the engine, tank under the engine, Kawasaki 1000 - how can it work was my question, but it did...

Take a look at the hairstyles - apparently there has already been a lockdown at the hairdressers at that time!

The guy standing with the rider should put his face mask on properly

Left Hand Drive ... ummmm ....

While riding in Europe (France I think), I was approached by a girl, who recognised my AUS sticker on the back of the bike.

She asked me to settle an argument she was having with her boyfriend. On a right hand drive motorbikes, he told her, the throttle was on the left hand side. Myth Busted and girl walked off smiling (which hasn't happened to me in years).
