[VFB] Norton Commando/Lady McConnell

[Neville Gosling]

Possible duplicate message - I sent the first message over four hours ago and it hasn't shown up so here it comes again!   Hey Jimmy:   I have to correct you. The motorcycle that you rode was a Norton Dominator not Denominator. The Dominator 88 SS (aka Domi 88) was a 497 c.c.  o.h.v. twin, while the 650 SS was the larger 647 c.c. o.h.v. twin. I used to ride and own a 1965 Norton  745 c.c. Atlas. I am reading this from an AMC ( Associated Motorcycles Corporation) catalogue of Norton, AJS and Matchless maotorcycles of circa 1965. I could add that I sometimes miss that hot throbbing feeling between my knees, but I better not.................   Now, we better have some fly fishing content, so I am going to tie the Lady McConnell for the second midge swap. It was designed by Brian Chan of Kamloops and therefore is a true Canadian pattern. Incidentally Jimmy, I didn't get a rise from you to my earlier dig about Texas size mayflies.   For those who want to learn a good midge pattern see http://www.coastnet.com/~rpike/oct01.htm   Neville Gosling, Vancouver, B.C.
