Five years later, a Norton ridden by Rembrandt Fowler won the first Tourist Trophy (TT). Now days, the Norton motorcycle is familiar to many motorcyclists. Motorcycle restoration enthusiasts world wide seek vintage Nortons. They bring a respectable price in antique motorcycle trading circles. The website BritIron.com ,started mainly for Norton enthusiasts to discuss issues with knowledgeable people around the world, has hosted the free "Tech Talk" forum since 1998. Many of the regular visitors have been members for many years. Some of them are recognized experts in motorcycle restoration and maintenance and freely share their knowledge in the discussions. Since Norton is part of the same basic technology that was used on many British motorcycles of the era, the discussion forum has been expanded to include them. Some of the members own several different vintage British motorcycles. And they tinker on them as much as they ride them. It's in their blood.
"Most motorcyclists love to spend their Sunday mornings taking off the cylinder head and re-seating the valves." Donald Heather, director of Norton, 1957. |
