In the late 1950s, Hap Jones was one of several Norton Dealers advertising in the motorcycle press.
Hap Jones Distributing Co 2 Clinton Park SF 3 Calif
Looking into the 2 Clinton Park address on the advertising brings up this pic of a BSA Dealer on Valencia St.
Clinton Park is the side street that runs alongside the shop.
So why the (slightly) different address - that would be somewhere down the back of this BSA Dealer ?
Is this so the BSA and Norton business's have different addresses ?
Anyone been there ? (when it was a bike shop).
Hap Jones was/became famous, been inducted into the Hall of Fame....

Seems he was previously an Indian Dealer, before getting into BSA's.
