Awesome shot of a Norton Model 18 (1928) Norton International.
Post script: After a couple tips from readers and closer inspection of a few photographs I’ve been corrected that this is an International. I think it’s a Norton International 1935 M40. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I’ll admit I can be sometimes! 😉
