    72 Norton

    Restoring it was a fun project. I initially ordered parts from a guy in CA but found out he was importing from the UK. So I went directly to the source and saved quite a bit on the cost. I had the cylinder head rebuilt by Brian Slark who was orginally with Norton. I think he works at the Barber Motorsports Museum in AL now. Be glad to share any info. I have if you need it.

    Barber Motorsports

    We stopped at Barber Motorsports on the way home from homecoming last year. If you haven't been I can't really describe what you are missing except to say without a doubt the most impressive collection of anything I've ever seen.

    I wished I could have just one of the Vincent motorbikes they had.

    I want to visit Unique and the Weavers. I've was initially "bitten" with the Gumball Rally and it never has gone away. I want to pull the trigger on a DPK but want to have the funds to pay for the kit, paint, engine, tranny. etc. Going by Barber will definitely be on the agenda of things to do.
