Ron Wood's Norton

Images from a July 1975 Cycle magazine article. I've not seen this race bike as a rolling chassis, I had no idea the actual frame construction, 3 inch diameter chrome moly tube with a wall thickness of .049". Translating from a photograph into CAD we get 56.5 inch wheelbase, 26° rake and 3 inches trail. Wonder how close that is to the actual geometry?

I never saw one with its pajamas off, either. Happy to read that it is not just a work of kinetic art!
