Great run/show sponsered by Delaware Valley Norton Riders. This was at Washington Crossing Pa. and moved last year to Frenchtown NJ. Great roomy area with plenty of parking as well as grass areas for trailers. Diffently mark your schedule for next year if you missed this one! Rick and I tried to get our 500's to breed but it didn't take LOL Gathering of the NortonsGathering of the NortonsGathering of the Nortons
 
I got a couple pictures of your bike mean gene. (I recognized that green from your pictures.) And the 2 thumpers too. Super nice. I was the one who asked if it was loud as hell.
The new location is 14 miles from me. Huge turnout and a beautiful day.

I'll add my (only) photo. BTW it was good seeing Rich Tool and his beautiful ES2. Sorry I didn't get to meet Gene and Russ, even though I was probable standing next to you guys at some point.
I took that picture at 10:00 am, the event started at 10, if that's any indication of what the turn out was. I think the count was at 236 at that time.

I’ll put my two cents in - The Gathering of the Nortons is really a great event . Kudos and a big round of applause to the members of
Delaware Valley Norton Riders . Their hard work has always resulted in an enjoyable experience for all so thanks guys
( and gals). Good to see Mean Gene & his Mrs ( who is no slouch when it comes to motorcycles) , Deets55 and a bunch of others- sorry I missed Russ (Batrider) .
Lots of two wheeled eye candy to ogle. Beyond Gene’s Bitsa and Green ( REALLY GREEN) hot rod the standout for me was an incredible Norton in a Rickman chassis. Druin supercharger, magnesium Fontana brake , hand beaten alloy tank . Just beautiful.
Why didn’t I take a picture - still beating myself up over that .
The new venue in Frenchtown seems to be a good thin judging by the turnout . Don’t miss this next year .
 
I was surprised (judging from photos) at the turnout and how many rides were in attendance!
 
236 was registered count had to be another 250 bikes that were non vintage. Jerry needs to get hats printed so we know who Access Norton Members are!! Sorry I missed you
 
I used to do business in that area once per year. I want so badly to make the event, but it is so much harder to travel 1500 miles one way for personal reasons.
I will keep wish'n and hope'n.
 
I run to Texas 2/3 times a year 1551 miles to ranch, getting harder to do. Put it on your bucket list. You won't regret it! If you want to stay awhile, Oley Motorcycle Antique flea market is a week earlier and the giant Carisle auto flea market is also the week before. Bring a trailer! LOL

Hats or T-shirts is a great idea.
I would think those that support the site one way or another could/would finance such endeavor?

Swing thru Bullard next trip.....I'll put some great steaks on the grill, or treat you to the famous ribs at The Country Tavern.
