Just drug home a 74 FXE Harley and a 73 Norton 850 Commando today.
I'll get some pics in a bit.

Gidday,
Nice choice there Jim, I've always fancied a Commando myself.
Are they for resoration; or are you going to 'play' with them?
Cheers

I'm going to restore them. They are both quite nice examples.

Wow, good score Jim.
As I'm sitting here posting this, my wife just handed me a sales brochure.
Full color, full model line for Triumph printed in Oct. 1958.

The Commandos are awesome. My housemate in college had one. I was with him when he bought it used ('72 I think) for $1200. It was a deal at the time.
