I owned a ‘72 Norton 850. Very strong bike.
On cold start, it would spit a squirt of oil from both pipes...

Yeah I also had a Triumph twin. All those British bikes were oil users and leakers. But then so were Indians and Harleys.

And as you know, there was a very good reason they put compression releases on those old bikes.
