Theres a thingf ! :shock: . If the memorys right it was playing up and ran like a slug , tear down revealed a broken ring .
Back in service it got the ' Best Mountain Road Bike ' award , as they were being diplomatic and invented a catagory for
ea bike to get ' a First ' . :lol:
Not that we're knocking the Norton . Reasonably critical of the machines , noteing their good points and failings . Rather
than a cult of worship and hissey fits . 8)

I had a look for it but can't find it just now. I may have lent it to someone. It is one of the store of old mags that I treasure. If/when I find it, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I came across a test of a Dunstall Norton 810 from a Special Feature Cafe Racer edition of Motorcycle World, August 1974.
