Norton Model 18 TT Racer 'The Hairy Bear'

Hi all,

I have recently bought a 1947 Model 18 and have been told that it was built by a team in Jedburghfor racing in the IOM TT from 1947 to the early 50's. It is in good running order and just needs some TLC which it will get this winter.

It was nick named 'The Hairy Bear' Does anyone have any information or memories of this machine or how it got its name?

Cheers
