NORTON STORY - 3RD EDITION

NORTON STORY - 3RD EDITION
GESCHREVEN DOOR / WRITTEN BY BOB HOLLIDAY

Norton - the very name suggests the power and sound of this classic British motorcycle marque. With their unique Isle of Man TT record, Nortons held the racing stage for over seventy years and are now enjoying a revival in the 1980s with the new Wankel-type rotary-piston engine. The author of this book has, as a journalist, roadtested most types of Norton over the years and writes with the privilege of an 'insider' about the company's triumphs and tribulations, their successes on and off the race track, and the many personalities associated with these famous machines. With its many illustrations, this new-format 3rd edition is a book no admirer of great British motorcycles will want to miss.
