The 23rd Annual Gathering of The Nortons
A gathering, a long and spirited ride and a delightful pub lunch. Over 1000 bikes and many more enthusiasts showed up for the Delaware Valley Norton Riders 23rd Annual Gathering of the Nortons at Washington Crossing Historic Park, on a splendid 70 + degree day (although it didn't start out that warm!) a dozen or so of us logged over 200 miles, and I counted 4 covered bridges (some more than once on our twisted route) and countless beautiful vistas in NE PA and NW NJ. A stop at Van Sant Historic Airport and a nice lunch at The Ship Inn in Milford NJ (Brit-bike enthusiast owned.) The new Thruxton R made for a very pleasant romp and an incredible amount of interest among the cognoscenti. Ride report to follow, and I'll post some of my pics via Tapatalk shortly. Meanwhile, be sure to waste a nice chunk of time following this link to hundreds of bike porn images from the day:

So many wonderful bikes. Thanks for posting Capo.
1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

I believe the tank, frame and running gear is late 60s early 70s Moto Guzzi, but the motor I have no idea on. Is that a radiator laying sideways under the seat?

I find your lack of RLETs disturbing

There is a hand grenade on the frame!
Wait, another view on his photobucket page. There are 3 hand grenades! I guess this bike is da bomb.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

It's a diesel conversion! There were two of them there, one a Yanmar marine engine, the other a Kubota. I can't recall which one this is.
