[850 Combat]

I bought a '75 Norton 850 New in '77. Photo taken in '80. I still have it, but it has aged much better than I have...

This '73 Commando has been in my family since about '79, and mine since about '85. I really like the green...

i like the rear directionals. However, probably not very visable????

Here's me on my 850 back in 1982. Bought her brand new.

Hard to believe that was 27 years ago.

I always like those Commando's and you rarely ever saw one then or now for that matter. The Norton girls on the inside cover weren't bad either.

During the daytime, they are a little questionable.

Missed your ride notice last weekend...anyway, I went riding with my 2 sons, but maybe next time!

This is one of me in the '80s -- it's a '74 model if I remember correctly.

I don't know. You know oldtimers disease and all that. I think I might have traded it in on a Guzzi 850.

HEY, I even had black hair back then. That was 27 years ago.

They were pleasant memories.

Sorry, Yes it was a GT750. They had various names. This one was a bit of a hot rod. 3mm shaved off the head. Bigger carbs. Big tubed 3 into 1 expansion chambers, etc. It had plenty of get up and go.

Here's a shot of me on my 1982 Suzuki GS750E before a 5500 mile roadtrip from Iowa to California and many points between. I bought it new and drove it about 12,000 miles before selling it in '84. I got back into biking last October and now have a 1979 GS850GN, also with Shoei fairing, Eclipse tank bag and Bag Man soft luggage. It's great to be on two wheels again and this site is a great help in many ways!
