Agree with all prior comments.   My hat's off to the 2 son's for not only thinking of and pulling off the refurb of the bike, but the way they pulled off the surprise (redone Norton poster) was what made the video compllling and well worth 15 minutes of my time.  Awesome and thanks for posting.  I saved the web link and am forwarding to others for their viewing pleasure.
