1958 Norton Dominator First Start After Repair… Then THIS Happened! | Classic Bike Revival

In this episode of The Mighty Garage, I head over to my friend George’s workshop to check out the latest progress on Sam’s 1958 Norton Dominator Model 88 500cc. While I’ve been working on a 1975 Norton Commando Mk3, George has been hard at work bringing this other classic British motorcycle back to life. The Dominator had suffered from bent pushrods along with a number of other issues, but after a thorough repair, it was finally ready for its first start and test ride. George fires it up and it sounds fantastic. Naturally, we couldn’t resist taking it out for a ride around the neighborhood to see how it performs on the road. But, just as I’m about to take it for a proper spin… we discover a new problem. That’s classic motorcycle ownership for you! If you enjoy vintage motorcycle restorations, Norton projects, and real-world garage troubleshooting, this one’s for you. #NortonDominator #ClassicMotorcycle #MotorcycleRestoration #BritishBikes #FirstStart #MotorcycleRepair #TheMightyGarage _____________________________________________________________ 🔗 LINKS Mini-series on Sam's MK3 Commando:   • 1975 Norton Commando MK3 Revival Series   Link to George’s Ducati:    • Featured Bike | 1966 Ducati MK3 Diana Spec...   Link to the incredible toy collection:    • Beautiful Vintage Automobile Toy Collectio...   Link to George’s Commando:    • 1971 Norton Commando Long Range Special Mo...   oNe - Oregon Norton Enthusiasts: http://oregonnorton.org OVM - Oregon Vintage Motorcylists: https://oregonvintage.org _____________________________________________________________ SUPPORT 🔴 Please SUBSCRIBE to The Mighty Garage: https://www.youtube.com/c/themightyga... ☕ Buy me a coffee? 😉 If you enjoy my videos and would like to support my channel, please consider donating here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/themight...
