As this is the first post, might as well start it off with a gorgeous pre-war OHC Norton. Not mine. Wish it was.

OK UberDoober. Time for muffler ed. The muffler is called a Brookland Can. There was a race track in England by the name of Brooklands. Parts of it are still there but it closed at the start of WW2. Due to the proximityof houses no meggas or open pipes were allowed. So the Brooklands can came into being. Don't know who originated that design but it is a cool design. Rudge used a street muffler that was called "Oxford Bags". I'm not making this up. I'm not that clever!

Was just browsing the intarwebs today and came across some nice Norton pics and thought about this old thread.

The whole site is pretty cool. The Norton pics are HERE (http://www.khulsey.com/motorcycles/vintage_motorcycle_norton.html).
