What a great ride, fast but safe, only overtaking when it was safe. good job! Love the sound of the old British big twins, burbling away from a corner all the way up to a meaty snarl as the revs rise//1 and the cornering, no shimmy's nothing, just sure footed confidence inspiring handling! Please can we have a walk round of the bike sometime? Thanks from an old British biker.
I like this video, firstly a beautiful Norton is unleashed ! Secondly, the beautiful Harz moutains, it takes me back to my Army days, getting pissed in Bad Lauterberg!

It really depends on what period. Atlases vibrated badly but 88 and 99 Dominators are usually fine. The 650 SS could be a bit vibey if you got a bad one. Triumphs are okay bikes, it's the owners here in the UK that are a pain 😉

I agree, show the bike. A little too curvy for letting the bike out to show what it will do and too much traffic, speaking of which, you take chances you ought not. Think of the bike if not your own dumb ass. No, really, the first decent vid we've seen today of this bike. A '69 Norton 750 that a friend of mine owned for a few months in the early seventies was the best bike I ever rode. Would love to have one of my own.
Nothing can beat that sound ... Fabulous !
Glorious sound,beautiful Norton,runs well,great cure for depression . RIDE ON.

VERDADERA JOYA !!!! mi Norton Commando de 1970 750 fue mi tercer motocicleta en la juventud anhelo volver a escuchar esa melodia de motor !!! saludos
A Norton on a country road goes together like cookies and milk.
I love this. 😀. My old 500 Royal Enfield are not close to this performance. However the "single-sound" is amazing too.
Thanks,for both parts , it was an awesome ride, thanks again
Norton sound,
me 🥲, it's so focking beautiful mate.
Had one of these while in the army! My "mates" / soldiers called me "Sergent Thunder"!
F**k yeah!! Lovin the vids. Inspiring me to get my 72 750 commando back on the road. 🤘🤙🇳🇿

I had a norton atlas in 1965 or so, the only way to pass A 4 wheeler is as fast as possible as shown here, enjoy the ride!
Lovely old bike, sound, and roads look great to.
A GREAT RIDE YOU CAN SURE HANDLE A BIKE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A WALK ROUND LOOK AT THE BIKE

What, no speed cameras? And well maintained roads... Where is this paradise?
The way you overtook the bike and two cars, perfection 👍
Amazing sound ❤
Incredible....encore mieux que la réalité virtuelle !
Sounds great🤘🏻🤘🏻
Snortin Norton ! Thanks for the ride.
Great sound and good rideing! I'd like to see the bike though.
Thank you very much for the compliment.
In one of my other videos you can see the bike.
A great experience, even if vicarious. A Norton "Inter"?
U B one lucky SOB!

Super
Sweet!
CALMS ME DOWN.
SOME MORE PLEASE.
What’s with the steering damper? Do like the oil pressure gauge though!
Nortons always vibed more than the triumphs an old mate of mine years ago had a 650 dominator hard to keep feet on the footrests it buzzed so much
No vibrations felt here...
45 watt Altec Lansing ACS 250 subwoofer at shin level under my oak drafting table

I can fill my courtyard with GOOD VIBES...
Music or otherwise

The needles in the clocks dont flicker much are they electronic?
Cual modelo es??
Because it is an old Norton it appears that you are also employing the old definition of "fast"
So nice that cycle. I think, it's Not, to buy that cycle? In Germany, it's Not easy.
The tank looks like maybe an old Norton Atlas. Could I be right?
Where is that? What city is it?
Is that speedo KPH or MPH?
Some of the road has no dividing line, nice sound is the engine rubber mounted in some way?
No bushings
Commandos are rubber mounted
This is a Featherbed frame...
wide for the Big Twin....
Best In the world..
From c. 1950 IOM TT Manx
@@375GTB Yes, Isolastic, not sure about Commando frame, it looks weak. I have two Featherbeds, awaiting construction, but there has been, Featherlastics built n' some people have used other types of rubberised mountings to tame the vibes!
What camera sound recording equipment are you using?
Hello Johnny,
i use a GoPro Hero 5 and a Hero 5 Session.
Sticky.
Solltest mal von Hasselfelde zum Netzkater fahren. Dort kann man auch mit Alteisen schon laufen lassen.
Gibt es auch Aufnahmen von deinen Bike?
what is that weird spinny thing in the middle?
Does somebody know what the small little spinning thingy in the middle of the fork is? Need answers, too mesmerized not to care…
It’s the steering damper.
It's a spinny thing to make little boyz ask questions.
If you go over the bars that steering damperwillgrab your nuts
Steering damper tad loose.
is that the 750.cc Norton my friends had a few of them scarey sounding bike for me when i was 16 years old
1956 650 Dominator
Well set up.
He has an 850 Commando
See his newer videos for that bike..
But this is the BEST road going Norton
For my 2 cents...
AND his videos have the audio correct
NO MUZAK!
Properly protected MIKE!
Wind noise level wise..
He could teach others LESSONS!
Lucky to live where he does!
Harz Mountains, Germany
HEAVEN!
Like our Dragon's Tail in TN..

@@375GTB sure is nice
ho you hooligan now have fun
Hai
Good ride m8, no sense in pussy footing around with these machines,they are made to be ridin. A 5th gear would be splendid.
Ist das Video schon älter?
Der Wald sieht da noch so ‚gesund‘ aus!
Ich war vorgestern bei euch und habe fast gekotzt, wegen den ganzen Borkenkäfern……
Moin, dass sollte aus 2018 sein. Ja, der Wald ist aktuell nicht im Besten Zustand.
Warst du beim CR Treffen?
@@Ton_up_division. ja. Eine Stunde, dann Abreise.
Beste Grüße vom Nortonjochen.🍀
GREAT SOUND?? WHAT MAKE OF MUFFLERS??
IT'S A BRITISH BIG TWIN
Turning maybe 6500 tops
NOT 10,000
THEY SOUND LIKE THAT!

I have a 68 Commando but it doesnt sound as good as yours.
@jameslynch5716 His bike is a '56 Domi'.
