John Fitzwater’s fuzzy plan to take a 43-year-old Norton Commando around the world
“When I was 15, I picked up a copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance at the local library in Auckland. Halfway into the first chapter I thought, ‘This sucks! It isn’t even about motorcycles.’ Forty years later I picked it back up and went, ‘Oh my god, where has this book been all my life?’ On the shelf, unread, was the answer.”
John Fitzwater
“One of the big challenges was to get the Norton into a state of where it’s rock solid, as reliable as can be expected. I’d like to be able to count on it basically going 20,000 miles without any major attention.”
