1962 Norton 650/SS

November 3, 2019. What a beautiful day it was in Portland, Oregon today and to ride Chuck's 1962 Norton 650/SS was a real thrill! I've admired Chuck's bike for many years. It's one of my favorite bikes in the oNe (Oregon Norton Enthusiasts) club. It's so quintessentially Norton with the understated black and silver paint scheme.

Quite honestly, when I bought the Manxman, I didn't realize that it was the first Manxman and had an idea of making it look a little something like Chuck's or this beauty owned by Jay Leno

It's only after I discovered that my new bike is the first Manxman did I appreciate that I have a moral obligation to restore it to the original factory colors instead (polychromatic blue with a red seat and high bars).
