Peter Williams needs your support

Not good news from Peter Williams:
Peter is very ill and already a few weeks in the hospital.
He is a fighter and he will win again, but if you can mail him a few words do it please.

He's been getting a lot of attention via my John Player Norton group on fecebook.

Great guy, and not an exaggeration that he is a legendary standard-bearer for Norton.

I only heard this yesterday from our Velo club. I will try to see him as he is welcoming visitors. I met him at John Hudson's house in Pudset 30 years ago when I was racing a TZ350G. He signed my Commando brochure.

I met him on the IOM several years ago at a Norton get-together. Really nice guy and very willing to talk to folks. I have a signed T-shirt. Sadly I can't wear it because the signature would come off in the wash.

Any knowledge of why he is in the hospital?

marinatlas · Jan 26, 2020

Thank you Yves for that info, I will send a postcard tomorrow , hope he will recover soon.

Myeloma I believe.
I've been lucky enough to meet him on a few occasions and attended a couple of his interviews hosted by Jim Reynolds.
A nicer bloke I have yet to meet.

Any recent health updates on PW ?

FastFred, did you manage to get to see PW?

Cheers,

I have read a fair bit about Peter's work with Nortons. With the knowledge of hindsight, it is much easier these days. I will try to write to him.

Mark Savage · Mar 16, 2020

Out of hospital according to an AN newsletter. Thank *uck for that, not a good place to be at the moment for sure.

acotrel · Mar 16, 2020

Have you got a current mailing address for PW ?

cliffa · Mar 17, 2020

Good news about Peter. Also noted in the newsletter, Andover Norton have purchased all the remaining stock of Peters book “Designed to race”

Cheers,

Yes, I enjoyed the book. I bought a copy from him a few years ago at the Stafford classic bike show.
