I picked up Snowrunner after watching Andrew Collins play for Jalopnik. It’s a great game to unwind with, but can be frustrating sometimes.

Goodwood Revival and the Barber Motorsports Museum

I look forward to your progress and end result. I also have a 1969 CB350 but is primarily unmolested. Had to take the head off at one point but i try not to mess with it too much since it has less than 5k total miles on it.

Ford Taurus SHO. Boring enough to blend in but has the grunt when (and if) needed.

Mine are more motorcycle focused:

Now I get it for track racing, but as I’ve said before, a small displacement at WOT is way more fun than a 200hp bike that barely gets to 1/4 throttle before exceeding the local speed limit. No thanks. Bring on the sub 500cc fun bikes!

I’m right there with you but I’m partial to the Buick Roadmaster version. My dad had one and I learned to drive and dock in that thing.

From what I’ve seen, he keeps his stuff in top working condition so I’m sure all of the safety features were working as best as they could. There’s just a limit to the maximum efficacy of antique technology.

Which bike was it?

Twinsies. I also have a 1969 CB350 (in my image). But my favorite specialty tool would be one of the several for my Norton. Either the clutch lock tool, or the gearbox lockrick assembly tool

They have yet to bring the new CB350 to the US either. This one is a bit surprising, but the fact that Americans consider a 750 as “too small” does give this some understanding.

Austin Healey please. And then complete the garage with a Brough, Bonneville, and Norton.

Before I actually got into motorcycles, I always thought you had to premix your gas and oil just like my dad’s chainsaw. I wondered how people could fill up at gas stations if they needed to know their right ratio as they filled up the tank with gas and oil together. It was years later before I found out that bikes…

Congrats on the new purchase and adventure! Everybody starts somewhere, and it sounds like you’ve got a great start compared to many.

Fully agree. Though Goodwood Revival has been moving up the list.

God forbid you let the magic smoke out.

Happy to see this on the page. I’m a little surprised the whole Garner debacle didn’t get more headlines, but such is the media. I look forward to hearing more about Norton and maybe some test ride articles in the future?

It’s 6 of both. I’m just saying I don’t like 4 cylinders/4 carbs so there’s no way I’d go to a 6 cylinder/6 carbs engine.

They are magnificent to hear. I know a guy in the vintage club with a beautiful version that he rides around.

This show is on my bucket list, plus the ONE show and Barber. So many amazing builds and impressive bikes at this one.
