1971 Norton 750 Commando
Congratulations to Jerry Doe of Fullerton for winning Bike of the Month with his 1971 Norton 750 Commando. Jerry won a Mr. Pete's Grill gift certificate provided by Mr. Pete's Grill.

Jerry bought his 750 Commando from Craigslist back in 2013 for $800 (no, she did not look like this; she needed a lot of work).

Restoration was finished in the fall of 2015. Jerry also has an 850 Commando MKIII. The engine has an number of extensive upgrades; cams, pushrods, valves, carb, belt drive, etc.

Paint was shot by Brent Budgor of Vintage-Vendor.com in Northfield Vermont.

Jerry is webmaster for AccessNorton.com an online forum for Norton owners.

Thanks Jerry for bringing it to our meet. See all the photos in our August Gallery.
