    Cars or bikes, to me its a hot rod. But methinks you have watched "No Limit" once too often!!!! But a beautiful Norton none the less!!

  12. Nope, Close but no cigar!
    Although no limit is a hoot... (George Formby 1935)

    The design is based on FJ Hicks 1925 Brooklands AJS. See Dr J Bayley's book The Vintage years at Brooklands.

    i wouldn't consider it a hot rod, but any complete pre war british bike is cool in my book.

    "Hot Rodded" I can understand using the term. "Hot Rod", it will never be.
