That never crossed my mind. Only thing that ever crossed my mind is there is no way that thing will make two 4 mile passes at Bonneville WOT. Although it is in much better shape now than it would have been if restored to the original flawed spec.


Hurting the Norton brand won't matter much to the people still buying and restoring Nortons. People that know the history of Norton pretty much ignore it and keep feeding their inner nostalgia child, or they like racing the old things. As far as kids go on the west coat of the USA... Kids are much smarter today than they were in the 1960's. Most wouldn't buy an old bike regardless of the history.


Comments I've gotten while out on my Norton. "That is the coolest bike I've ever seen!" "What's a Norton?" "How far can you ride that before it breaks down?"
