David,

great looking 850.

Maybe you are not into other Nortons but when I was a kid I owned a couple of Garden Gate Manx motorcycles. Rumor was these two bikes were Bobby Hills bikes he rode for Indian against Harleys back in the late 40s early 50s.

I came across a site on the internet about Manxs. The Book About My Bike , garden Gate manxs. Niels Schoen sells a book and has a face book site. I sent him the only pic I had left of my Manx after I made it into a chopper back in 64. The picture is on his site . maybe someone can recover it an post here. Serious motorcycle for the time, double overhead cam bevel gear single.

I will try to find some pictures of my curerent rides .
