Hello from West. NE
I have been riding since I was 7, legaly on the streets at age 18. I stumbled on this website through a search engine.
This is my 1972 FXS1200 Superglide. It has seen alot of transformation over the years and alot of miles. Its won a few of the local area bike shows and it has never seen a trailer except when its broken.
As most of the older riders recognize its not exactly stock anymore. What is still original is the Engine, 4 speed trans, frame, gas tank, rear rim and brakes and a few other parts.
I have been involved with non profit political organizations for motorcyclists for 19 years. I believe in rider education and preserving our freedom of choice.

Your bike reminds me of the past when I rode a 73' Norton. Ahhhhh nostalgia....... Wish I still had my Snortin' Norton! Its obvious you care for your ride very much. It is still showroom condition. What you do politically to further our sport is noteworthy. Welcome to the forum from Maine.

Hey Liam51
Was that a Norton P11 750 Commando? My best friend had a red one Man was tha a bad MF It was fast for a 750 I had a 650 Triumph at the time and when we went riding I used to suggest we swap bikes for awhile. Once in awhile he would. I really liked riding that Norton I still loved my Triumph but if he would have wanted to sell that Norton I would have had two bikes. After about two years he totaled it and never rode again. Sad Like you said Ahhhhh the memories
