Ron, I'm sure that Lex and I will both have are Big 4's on Gold Beach for the 70th anniversary of D Day in 2014. You have 2 years notice to arrange to get yours out of your museum and bring it along? May be I might bring a Sunbeam outfit along? Cheers John

Funny you should mention that Jim. I've recently taken to going out with three mates from teenage years. We have been referred to as 'Last of the summer wine' by some of our wives. Ron

Re: Norton Big 4, 633cc sidecar combination

haha! We also have a group of mates that go to the club one day a week, and play dominoes (double 9's, none of your soft southern kids 6's) drink dirty beer and generally have a bloody night, much to the amusement of the locals. They christened us "Last of the Summer wine2 also!
