I grew up in a shop. My whole life was biking camping trips with my dad. He had 14 nortons, vincents, BSA, ariel square four, triumph. Thats all I knew. So when I was looking for bikes, the only kind I liked was the kind that looked like what I grew up around. Then there is the quality side of things. My dad restores Rolls Royces. And all sorts of old rare cars. He’s a Rolls Royce Mechanic. It was drilled into my head that poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten. I am an engineer in a super high precision machine shop. So it only makes sense that everything about the Norton is a bike for me. Hook, line and sinker.


When I heard Norton was coming back, within a minute I looked up cdn dealer and made an appointment to meet, for the first time, Peter Howes.


Then my dad put down his deposit and waited.  After seeing his bike. Well... all I wanted was that bike.
