A Streetfighter For The World | The Sunburst Seeley Commando
As featured on the #1 custom bike website www.bikeexif.com/nyc-norton/ In early 2014 we got a call from an overseas number on the shop phone. On the other end of the call was a pleasant voice with an unidentifiable accent who introduced himself as "Joe".
