G'day Holland,
                   Yes, if money was no object I'd have one.
The only thing I don't like is the gear & brake levers are on the wrong side.
What would it take to re-birth the mighty BSA A10?
Cheers.

I was looking at the new Nortons at the NEC bike show but I am not sure that there is much interest in them. Norton has been re borne that many times I have lost count.

Hi Everyone

Chris Walker brought along the 916 along to our bike night a couple of times last summer I think its their test bike and looks like that it has hard ridden.

Guys that know Chris says that he is a great guys and friendly.

I understand that Chris still has a very nice BSA Cyclone Clubman at least he's got a propery motor bike.

The cost of the 916 is I think is fair, at the end of the day its a hand made bike, if I had that sort of money it would a Rocket Gold Star with electric start, but with that sort of money you could more than one bike.

Regards
Nick
