Time for Norton

I think it's time for Norton to be leading the pack again.

No idea what this has to do with norton, but that first race was unbelievable. The skill, reflexes, balls and nerve to race on public roads like that is awe inspiring.

Well if Norton and motorcycle racing don't go hand in hand I don't know what does. Jim

Great coverage!
I thought Norton had Michael Dunlop as a rider? Looks like he's with Honda from that vid.

Leaves ya breathless at edge of rocking chair!
Thanks for showing this event with the elite bike and pilots behavior.
What strikes me beside the supreme skill, athletics and wits is how wigglly those elite machines are to handle. Seems about every thing else is so predicable.
Wonder how fast they get in the opens for record 132 mph average lap speed.
