  • If you don't drain the carbs you need to start the bikes up.

    We had a windchill of -41 in Lethbridge Alberta this morning. Good job at getting these good old bikes running. You have both of them running great. I have a 1986 Honda goldwing Aspencade with 32000 Kms on it. I It is my baby. I keep it looking like new. It runs great. I balanced my carbs with a 4 glass sealers. I got them balanced perfectly. It is fun tinkering with old bikes. To bad old age is catching up with us. I am 72 so I know my riding days are limited.

      I enjoy working on the old bikes as well. Not many dinosaurs like us left with the know-how.

    Looks awkward kicking with your left foot. The Norton really wants to run it’s begging to run, who doesn’t love it. Glad you posted a new video. New tool nice lathe handy to have it in the garage. I missed out on one about 8 years ago at an auction I kick myself every time I think about it. Thanks for the video.

    Good to see you back on the old tube Bruce. You could do with on of those rolling Road electric starter things!

    Been a long time, next project fit electric start to the Norton, all the conversions I've seen have been tasteful 👍

      It usually starts first kick but the gas has to be at least 6 months old in it. Thanks for watching.

    Hey Bruce what type of oil shut off valve are you using on the Norton? My Commando wet sumps bad.

      I just bought a pex style 3/8 inline shut off valve at home depot.
