Hey, How did you make out with the mklll? What was the internal condition of this Roadster? and what did you have to do to get her back? I have more questions, if you don't mind.
The bike was stored in dampness ??? or no ? That can sometimes be a problem. Fasteners used to snap. Bike is going to be a very difficult restoration////but a very worthwhile project indeed. It all depends on how it was stored. Keep saying that to yourself as you go around buying up bikes. At least in my experience it isnt worth it if its been stored damp.
I bet you stole it too since the woman probably thought it was just an old odd brand motorscooter. I sold my MKIII a few years ago because unfortunately I needed the money. It only had 4800 miles and looked better than new as all the aluminum was polished to look like chrome. I had been through many motorcycles but said I would never sell the Norton. Hard times hit and I had no choice but it has a great home in Malibu Beach Mexifornia now. I'm sure it gets the greatest care possible.
I had one just like that when I was 16 years old. same paint scheme. Bought it for a thousand bucks from my brother-in-law June 1979. 3,300 original miles.

I appreciate you taking my comment into concideration. To all who read this comment previously there were quite ugly annotations within the video.

Interesting video though I found the speech bubbles take away from the overall effect of the video. I'm quite excited for your next video though.
