The National Motorcycle Museum (NMM), along with the Norton Owners Club (NOC), has released details of an important celebration of the legendary British marque. The event, dubbed “A Whole Lotta Torque About Norton,” will take place on 28 September and will celebrate the long heritage of Norton Motorcycles, both new and old.
The event boasts some interesting speakers. The firm’s current chief technology officer, Brian Gillen, will be there to talk about the latest from the Solihull factory, with some inside info about what’s next from the firm. Veteran journalist Alan Cathcart will speak about the history of the John Player Nortons. And John Naish and Ashley Cutler will speak about Norton’s press history and Norton engineering respectively.
The museum will also fire up a selection of classic and modern Nortons, and the special day will feature other talks and demonstrations, with exclusive museum access from 9am to 5pm. NOC members can visit the museum at a reduced rate of just £5 (normally £15). More info is at the Norton Owners Club website: www.nortonownersclub.org.
