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,
Be-spoke Specials.
"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!!
On each of these web site pages there is an extensive amount
of information about SINGLE CYLINDER machines...............

PLEASE BE PATIENT
FOR E-MAIL REPLIES......
THEY ARE COMING IN AS FAST AS A MANX!!
PLEASE
NOTE…WHEN SENDING PICTURES DO NOT MAKE THEM ANY BIGGER THAN 1,000 kB and if you
do not get a reply to an e-mail enquiry it will be because:
·
Occasionally
I get a "failed mail" message after I have sent you a reply but for
some reason you are unable to receive.
·
You
have written about twin cylinder machines………no interest and no knowledge. Your
letter does not make sense.
·
I have
not had the time to reply.
·
I am
not replying to mail which does not make sense; it is immediately trashed.
·
Disclaimer:
please note that any parts or advice given by me is accepted on the condition
that you are unable to make any sort of claim against me. So if any of you have
a tendency towards litigation, just remember that as a practising psychiatrist
my speciality was medico-legal cases!
