It was a 1972, and it was fast. Pull the headlights out of the Honda 4's. Even the souped up ones.
My buddy rode a 750 Norton Combat Commando and it ran dead even with that. <a hred="http://media.photobucket.com/image/Norton%20COmmando%20750/kpowens/1%20Motor%20Cycles/72Commando750iiweb.jpg >Very similar to this one</a>
I owned a '67 Daytona 500 twin carb (Triumph), after a quick search-if only had it still (selling for around $10 grand), curses! Friend of mine found a '69 or '70, 750 Norton Commando (basket case). Put it back together-took a while (Yellow original color)for parts search. That was around '75.
I love this song. In the town I grew up in we only could pick up to music stations, country and oldies. I became a huge fan of the oldies.
ReplyDeleteLots of good memories with this song.
ReplyDeleteTrestin, Glad you enjoyed it. We lived it back in the day. Hop on our Superbikes, add a little alcohol, go looking for females.
