Probably my last run on a Norton for a Year!

Out today for a last run on my Norton Commando, its always satisfying, even on a cold (and occasionally wet) day like today. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is no other British Classic which is as good to ride, its quick enough for modern traffic, smooth and is just a brilliant bike. Why am I not using it for the Americas trip I hear you all saying, it requires plenty TLC & maintenance to keep it going and even though I've got a year, to do the same journey on the Commando might take longer or would certainly involve more "maintenance days".
I'll keep a note of the "glad I'm not on the Commando" days, that may be interesting.
