I had a bunch of Nortons over the years, at least a dozen. Some new, some were used . None gave me any trouble. I had Hondas , Bultacos, Triumphs, BSA, Harleys and so on.
but I always favoured the Nortons.
I was in Daytona a few times for bike week, the first time I was riding on Main (I think)
outside Boot Hill saloon on my '73 Norton and very nervous about whether or not I would survive as everyone else seemed to be on Harleys. A big hairy dude strolled over my way and I thought this is it, I'm dead. He looked at me, looked at the Norton and said
"righteous ride, bro" I never forgot that. Made my day, right there.
