This web site is dedicated to all motorcyclists who are interested in NORTON SINGLE CYLINDER
motorcycles. I have been riding, racing and repairing these unapproachable
machines for the past twenty 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.noc.co.uk
My main interest is with racing machines…..flat tank
racers of the twenties, Internationals from the thirties and the Manx from the
fifties and early sixties and NEW ONES!
"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
George Cohen on 1927 TT Norton at speed on approach to Sulby Bridge,
Isle of Man 1991

E-Mail Me Now! 
PLEASE
NOTE…WHEN SENDING PICTURES DO NOT MAKE THEM ANY BIGGER THAN 250 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. I would, however like a circa 1907 peugot engined machine, like Rem
Fowlers.
·
Your letter does not make sense.
·
I have not had the time to reply.
·
I am not replying to some mail……….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 is medico-legal cases!
