    Welcome to the aftermath of the Norton Review...
    Bigglesworth and I just enjoy riding about, and let's face it, after the winter we've had, it's nice to see people riding again... and chatting about the Norton and just why did Bigglesworth sell his Speed Twin for a Thruxton?
    We hope you enjoy...
    Tally Bally Ho!

    I can highly recommend Nitron R1 mono shock and front fork cartridges, totally transformed my Speedy’s handling 😁

    I skipped adding a comment with your Norton 961 video. I already knew where that was going to go! I'm glad Sir Bigglesworth is enjoying his Thruxton! It's the one motorcycle I will never part with.
    Great video Good Sir! 👍👍

    I've been preaching the Nortons are beautiful and have character (vibration and pretty bits) all day but the Thruxton for the price is the far better value vs tech vs performance. Half people have been agreeing the other half saying I'm off my knocker lol

    Well, this was a nice surprise when it popped up on my FarceBurk page. I haven't seen any CR content for a while (I've been away, dealing with life) and had forgotten how much I enjoy the combination of riding/irreverance/silliness. Thank you for brightening up this sad old git's day. 🙂

      ​@CaptainRambunctious having fun. It's disgraceful really, us having fun and laughing on our bikes.
      We should instead ride sedately and discuss politics today.
      "Professor Rambunctious, today on our ride we'll be discussing the impact of austerity on the socio economic landscape of post pandemic Britain"
      " Indeed. Many economists have taken to view austerity as an necessary, inevitable evil. But to view it from a different perspective.... you see that puddle of wee against that wall"
      "That puddle over there? Slowly running out of the multi storey car park stair well?"
      "Yes"
      "I'm aware of it"
      "That's your swimming pool that is... you like to swim in it every day!"

      I've had my Thruxton R since June 2016. I've had four exhausts on it and I love the looks and sound of the Meerkat Norton styled slip ons with the Meerkat "X" pipe is hard to beat.
