Nice, any idea which model the Norton (second from left) is?
Looks like a "Commando"

That was my thought, but 750 or 850?

Yes it is, but I don’t think the seat is stock. Some versions had the same grab bar but the original seats were less stepped. Regardless, bunch of great looking history.

850. Barrel & tappet covers match 850. To my eye anyway.

Cool, I always thought the Norton Commandos were the best looking bikes.

I don't disagree. The Commando was a little rich for my young self. I rode different Triumphs & Beezers. Always wanted a Commando, but alas, it never happened. Young guy can't have everything.

Strange as it may seem, I once knew a priest who own one, along with a Triumph chopper and a Honda Gold Wing.

Not to me. We were married in 1970 by a priest who rode a new 1970 Honda CB 750 with a Vetter Phantom fairing. I thought he was one cool priest. Great guy & I, of course, heartily approved. He's since passed on.
