Harley /Norton Cafe Racer

Nice article in "Classic Bike Guide" about a 1970 XLCH engine slotted into a Norton Featherbed frame.
Also a bit about Lance Weil who used to race one over here in the 60s.

May be of some interest to you Kiwi D.

thanks Chilly, an interesting mix to be sure.

Common mistake - Kiwi is Graeme from Nottingham
Kiwidave is, er, me from Whitley Bay

We are, of course, both transplanted colonials who like many Kiwis love the older bikes!
