A blog dedicated to pictures of my bike builds and other motorcycle-related stuff
The following pictures are of the 1969 Norton Commando drive-train I am turning into a rigid chopper. I began this project in June 2004. I hope to have the sucker running by Dec. 31, 2005. At the moment, I've got some electrical issues need fixing and I'm waiting on a new seat from Le Pera. I expect I'll be posting pics of that seat in a few days. It's red metal-flake vinyl with white piping.

My "professional" bio is posted under About Blue Poppy, Authors, Bob Flaws at www.bluepoppy.com. As for my biking bio, my current daily rider is a 2001 Indian Mohave Scout. Prior to building the current Norton rigid, I 've chopped a Kawasaki 750 Vulcan which my son owned. I also own another Norton Commando (1971) basket case which I plan on making into a bobber. Iam an inaugural member of the Iron Indian Riders Assoc. of which I was also a past Tribal Council Member and President. In addition, I'm a member of Colorado Abate (District 13), the AMA, MRF, Norton Colorado, and C.O.B.B. As a young man, I was a jeweler in NYC, and I still do some occasional jewelry-making. However, this love of/intertest in jewelry-making has carried over into knife-making, metal scultping, and bike-building. I guess that's about it.
