"Norton world trip"


          

Hi guys.

OK this time I hope I do not incur the wrath of the web master and Im in the right spot.

Take a look at this site

http://www.thelasthurrah.co.nz/index.html

A couple of New Zealanders about to ride from Beijing overland to Holland. On a Panther and an ES2.

They are not completely mad having done this sort of thing before but at their ages 60s and 70s they should know better. Went to their farewell party last weekend.

#### also owns a Manx Norton (racing it for more than 40 years) and a Dommie (with a 270 crank)which he road all around Europe a few years ago. He was a mechanic for Robert Holden (Ducati) on one of their Daytona trips. If they can find a lath and welding gear they can rebuild these bikes if they break down.

John
