While I was out riding in the neighborhood today I passed a guy going the other way on what looked like a little Norton Moped. He must have converted a vintage moped or maybe a bicycle. It was all black, had a top tube frame like a bicycle and narrow tires like a small bicycle. He sat on a small pillion seat and it had a headlight and a peanut gas tank with the old Norton logo in gold on it. It was really neat looking, like a tiny motorcycle. I wish I could have taken a picture of it.

Daytona No – Barber Maybe
Since it appears that none of us will be able to make Daytona this year, I thought I’d post the Barber Vintage M/C Festival link http://www.barbervintagefestival.org/ . It’s too bad that the vintage m/c scene has departed Daytona, but maybe Barber can be a replacement. It’s a longer ride for you Florida guys, but what are m/c for, if not to ride!
Picture
Jim, thanks for putting a picture back in the header. I thing this was a Daytona trip and Chuck was along, but don’t see his bike (he did get lost occasionally) in the pic. I’d love to have that big tank GS/PD today.
