NOC Riders Section

A big 'THANK YOU' to everyone who came along to our open day today and made it such a success.

 The weather was just right and to see around 60 Nortons in the car park was amazing. 

Regards to you all

Good evening,

Who is going to the Solstice Rallye in June? Especially from the continent. I`m from North Germany and will go to Rotterdam and take the boat to Hull.

May be we could make a group? Regards and see you in June

Safe riding

Uwe

Hi, are any members riding down to the AGM from the Derby area or anyone passing by on the M1 that I could meet up with for the journey please?

In the current issue of Roadholder, I see in Anthony Curzon's reply on page 26 mention of a 'Hybrid Compendium Book', can anyone tell me how I can get hold of one please? I have searched the club website publications page and cannot see one.

TIA

I see Ace Cafe is trying to attract customers on Sunday 12 Feb with a "Singles Day".  It's bound to attract mostly modern stuff, but perhaps of interest to Norton Singles owners to show the flag on a chilly day? All Norton Singles are ULEZ exempt.

We are very keen to attend the swedish rally and have booked two places.

However, at the time we are on a Euroramble visiting friends in Germany, Italy, Greece and Finland in our Landy and our dogs. This means that we wont have a bike with us when we get to Sweden. So here's my question;

CAN ANYONE WHO IS TAKING A TRAILER OR VAN ETC, TAKE MY COMMANDO WITH THEM TO SWEDEN ? I may well ride it home as we will be on the return leg of our trip. 

We are based in central Hampshire.

Thank you for reading my request.

I found some footage on my PC and along with some photos put it on you tube. Sadly a few guys aren’t with us anymore but I enjoyed remembering them.

I have to say that as always the Flanders Branch Begonia Rally was it usual fun self, 37 years of organisation by our Belgian friends has come to an end. Fantastic memories, great friendships and most of all good fun. It was good to see a great turnout from Belgium, Holland, UK, France and Italy making this a truly International meeting. Looking back at the Photos from the last few years I've been going its obvious we have all become quieter but I think we still enjoyed it.

This coming week end sees the Netley Marsh auto jumble take place on 9th & 10th September.

I will be there on the Saturday having cleared my garage ready for a giveaway sale of Norton spares that I no longer need. This includes a near complete, ready to fit and run 1950 ES2 engine. ES2 petrol tank & engine plates. A refurbished Laydown gearbox. Plus a huge collection of good condition Dominator gear such as engine parts, primary cases, oil tanks, pushrods, silencers, pistons, new rings and more. 

I have a rather rotund shape which mean my waist is larger than my hips. Consequently I need a pair of braces to hold my biking trousers up as a belt doesn't keep them high enough. The usual wide elasticated fabric braces only seem to last about 6 months. Can anyone suggest a source of some decent fabric or leather braces that will stop my trousers trying to descend to my knees when I dismount?
