PLEASE SCROLL DOWN
THE PAGES…… there is a lot of information on this web
site
This
web site is dedicated to all motorcyclists who are interested in NORTON SINGLE CYLINDER
motorcycles. I have been riding, racing, repairing and playing with these unapproachable machines for the past thirty years, while practising as a
trick-cyclist, and I am now available to provide a service to genuine
enthusiasts who share my passion. I am not a commercial enterprise. I work on
my own and this obsession with old Norton motorcycles is my life long hobby.
Please note
that I do not work with twin cylinder machines, such as the Dommie and
Commando; for Twins visit www.nortonownersclub.org a very good web site with a lot of
information on all types of Nortons.
My
main interest is with racing machines…….
Flat Tank Racers of the Twenties,
Internationals from the
Thirties,
Manx from the fifties and
early sixties,
Edwardian mounts.
"Our services are, however, at all
times available to give any information that may be required which will
facilitate obtaining the maximum efficiency, and we invite Norton riders to
enlist our aid whenever in doubt; our services will be freely and willingly
placed at their disposal".
This
is an extract from the Norton maintenance manual of 1924 and it sums up both
the philosophy of those pioneers at Bracebridge Street, now sadly gone, and
myself, still joyfully going!!

You have written about twin cylinder
machines………no interest and no knowledge. Your letter does not make sense.
