Nice ! Must make a visit if or when I’m down that way.
Did they have a Norton V4 when you visited ?

Yeah , this one

That is :heart_eyes:

Way out of my price range. (Mine is a clean but 25 year old speed triple 955. )
But if I think if I had that sort of money to spend on a bike I don’t think it’d be in the Norton.

Saw the Norton at the NEC show and was blown away by the attention to detail and build quality was off the scale

Looks well worth a visit :heart_eyes:
One of my oldest friends lives in Plymouth so a stop there is on the cards when we’re down :+1:

Gsx1100 et :heart_eyes:
The best looking of all the muscle bikes imo.
When I was 17 and had an rd125lc a biker who I worked with had one , it was dead in work and we swapped bikes for an hour. He loved whipping around on my 125 , I was bricking it in case I dropped his gsx.

Last night was the final Paignton bike night of year. 681 bikes , trikes and combinations through the gates according the their fb post.

Just finshing up; breakfast here hits the spot:

And I never thought i’d think any variation on a CX was cool, but…

Star of the show is sold :drooling_face:



You’ve probably said this up-thread, but the standard of fit and finish on the factory parts on the Norton is extraordinary. Jewel-like without just being bling and they make the externally sourced stuff look plain :heart_eyes:

I see you’ve brought the weather with you :wink:

Yeah , those Cx 500 seems to be really popular to customise. Years ago you couldn’t give them away.
Glad you enjoyed the breakfast.

Yeah, sorry about the weather :roll_eyes: we seem to have brought it back to Bristol with us for the next day or so too, then I’m back off to sunny and 20 C in NS on Sunday so it’s a bit of a hit and run I’m afraid :wink: - hope it gets better soon :crossed_fingers:

Did Macphersons move to Plympton from the waterfront area? We were on the Parade later in the day and saw a closed building next to the new Customs House with MV Agusta branding on it - couldn’t imagine 2 dealers in even quite a big place like Plymouth…
