Norton "88 Dominator" (Much Abused!)

            
This is my first "real" bike, a 1960 Norton 88 Dominator 500cc twin. I bought it in 1970, at the tender age of 17, with money that I earned working at Mansfield's Metal Box Company during the summer holidays between lower and upper 6th form. It cost me a princely £60.00! The colour scheme was like this when I bought it but I had to take off the "clip-on" handlebars and stick on the "apehangers" (first inkling of the Harley to come some 40 years later!!!) The "reverse cone mega" exhausts had no baffles whatsoever and were very, very loud!
Confession time : I rode it for nearly 2 years with no tax, no insurance and no full license. When you consider that it was, perhaps, not particularly inconspicuous, I guess I was a bit lucky to get away with it?!?
