ESL

working on primarily honda CB's the last few years, I've become quite versed in it's language. sure, there are varying dialects but never straying to far from it's core, and I find myself referencing manuals less and less.

today i started working on the norton and i find myself back to square one, trying to assemble this bike from a pile of parts and fasteners. half whitworth, half standard, and everything seems a little backwards. I suppose the start of any new language is going to be a little awkward at first.
