Some nice touches, not even counting the rider. I wonder about the Norton sticker?

I dont get the Norton sticker either, but its similar to the guy on here that put a buell sticker on his scooter - its their bike, do what you wish. (or the "Buell" NHRA bikes that have Triumph decals on them, from a couple years back) |

WHY get rid of Erik's revolutionary, time-tested and proven perimeter brake??? Might as well mount a fuel tank and oil tank to the frame while you're at it. I'm going to guess this bike doesn't look as cool when it's not pictured in overexposed black and white. |

I've seen perimeter brakes on spoked wheels only on custom (hand made) bikes. |

I haven't gotten on board with the no front fender look yet. The Manx/G50 numberplate gives it a nice vintage look. |

That would all depend on the pennies... |

Lucky find, the original Manx top yoke with enough metal to bore out for the Ohlins. I wonder if the aluminum tank (or cover) filler has a hidden connection to the stock filler on the frame? |

I know you guys are serious motorcycle junkies since not one of you has mentioned the beautiful woman dressed in leathers straddling that bike. |

How can you tell that she's beautiful? How can you tell that it's even a woman? There are some cues, but I gotta tell you I've seen men who are more feminine than the person on that bike. And vice versa, unfortunately for my eyeballs. You can't unsee what has already been seen. |

>beautiful woman dressed in leathers straddling that bike I hate phoney things. I tune out posed models. If she was actually cable of riding it or even owning it, I would be all "woah!" No gloves, no eye protection... I'm not happy with the bike either. How is it a "manx" if the frame is a bone stock XB? It has nothing at all to do with Norton. It's like kids putting TURBO and NOs stickers all over their scooters. |

Whatever it is it needs a cheeseburger ASAP ! As for the bike...For all the time & money he could've had a bitchin' XB "and" a Manx. Just sayin'. But it's his bike and he likes it so that's all that matters...I guess. |
