Brad is from Tecumseh, ON
" My name is Brad Dawe. i'm a tattooer from eastern Canada. i've got several vintage bikes but this is, by far, my favorite to drive. handles like a dream. it's a 1970 Norton "s". got it in rough shape a couple years ago. spent a winter fixing her up. it's my daily driver. "
The 1970 Norton Commando 750S motorcycle was the old-line British motorcycle maker's game attempt at a sport bike that would fend off Japanese rivals. The 1970 Norton Commando 750S motorcycle was good, but not good enough.
The Norton Commando motorcycle appeared in several configurations during its lifetime, and the "S" model arrived in 1969. Its distinctive high exhaust pipes with heat shields set the Norton Commando 750S motorcycle apart from other Commandos.
More importantly, the S stood for Sport, and magazine reviews raved about the new levels of performance. But despite its 125-mph capabilities, the Norton Commando 750S model slipped into oblivion during the 1970 model year, though the Commando line itself continued on into the mid-1970s.

The Chesapeake Chapter of The AMCA always puts out a cool shirt design for it's Fall Meet. Here are a few in no paticular order. I think the Spark Plug is my favorite.
This cool picture show two younger guys from the Norwegian liberation forces joining a parade to celebrate we won the war (WWII). They got their logo on the fork mounted toolbox; H-S and the colours of the Norwegian flag.

Last month, young Southsiders member Théo, participated in the first bike polo tournament in France, in the city of Toulouse .
In 1891, in the United kingdom, the traditional polo horses were replaced first by bicycle.
The Bike Polo has even become an Olympic sport in 1908. Then he went to the door for nearly a century before reappearing two years ago.On left parkings in major U.S. cities and London and throughout Europe.
The bike polo reborn from its ashes with a more "Urban" version.
Performed with home made mallets and processed Fixies or bicycle, it offers a surprising spectacle, lively and full of contacts.
Simple, powerful, dramatic side with a small "hand-made" almost "trash" and a ski pole ending in a pipe line as a mallet, a bike wheel and a customized temperament gladiator in the arena, flanked a serious sense of humor ... This is the spirit of bike polo.
As an emerging sport and still evolving style of play can vary considerably from one place to another.
Two teams of 3 players compete on a closed rectangular. Cones serve as goals at each end of the field.The ball can be handled in two ways: a "shot" or "shuffle" (pushed). A shooting is done through both ends of the mallet,
then a shuffle is done with the side of the arch. To mark the player must necessarily pull in the opposing goal.
If the ball enters the goal by a "shuffle", the point does not count and play?(Game?) continues.
A player placing his feet on the ground is imposed a penalty. And better not keep her eyes riveted on the ball, under penalty of a collision.
