The Norton motorcycle is back in production in England. Stuart Garner is doing for Norton what Bloor did for Triumph. New fuel injected vertical twins for sale in 2010. They will be the Commando 961. Back to guns. gary

A REAL Norton, or just parts assembled in England from Japan, China, Korea...?

I hope it will be as my 2005 Triumph Rocket3 2300cc. Nothing from asia except the battery. There are parts from France, Germany and Italy. Can't wait. Gary

Do you know why the Brits don't make computers??

My Triumph R3, MGA, Sunbeam Tiger or Norton do not leak oil.But I am the only mechanic that touch's them. I also have no problem with Lucas!! Mine work. Back to my FAL's. Gary

Do they make a left-hand drive for us here in the states?

NORTON, just lightly blipping the throttle at a road junction or traffic lights gets the heads of the REAL bikers turning. No tinny bumble-bee in a coke can noises here........... Others even put their thumbs up at the sight of that hallowed name on the tank.

The four best words in the English Language. I own a Norton

Mr. Laidler,

If you have the time, will you post a photo of your Norton? I'd love to see what they look like now.

My father restored a Triumph when I was a teenager. He was very good at professional quality painting too, and it looked new when he was done.

If I had the means to own a street bike I always thought I'd want a BMW, but riding a Norton would might be even better!

Consider yourself lucky, Gary. Both my 1960 AH Sprite Bugeye & my 1954 MG TF leaked every liquid they contained by the bucketload, from time to time. Still, I'd give a lot to have them back- especially the Sprite.

Luck has nothing to do with it. I modified and installed rear main oil seals on TD, MGA. I restore my British cars and bikes to keep busy. The only oil drips on my bikes are from factory chain oilers. Gary
