    Check out how they blast past a RC30 and OWO 1

    38 to 41 secs into the clip

    I remember showing this to the bike club I was running in 1989 on a big screen in my works social club. The members of the local Brit bike club who were visting us cheered like a football crowd when the Nortons screamed past the Japanese bikes

    Very good vid, the Nortons really had something special then. All in black adds to the ‘menace’ too.

    Glory days

    Soooo fast. Strange to think it was nearly 20 years ago.

    I used to have a video of the Norton at the Isle Of Mann ridden by Steve Hislop in close competition with Foggy on a Yamaha. It was a great race and the Norton sounded fantastic.

    Worthy of a bump if only to see those Nortons blast down the straight once again!
