Nope - but it's at the Motorcycle Museum next door to the NEC, I'm up there again in a couple of months so could take some more (we do
shows at the venue quite regularly).

Yeah, that was Norton's problem. Period. They always tried to make bikes at the top end of the market, but should've made bread and butter
bikes too.
