Inside the Norton 961 - BOOK

Or clear plastic laminated on both sides on each page, should last a life time. The paper on the wooden shipping crate with info of the bike and the # of the crate in the shipping container is like that. I have all that from my 961CR. Sales person saved all that and the crate

I have the OEM Workshop manual supplemented by your manuals Richard. My preference would be the full colour - thick paper option for your new publication.

A ‘keep sake’, but also a useful reference document to supplement the manuals. My thoughts only - maybe you could produce a couple of options.

Hello Richard , I would buy a copy . Nice to hear from you again !

I tried email you a few weeks ago but you retired so it bounced back. BTW a pic of you is in the book

I agree the coil spine is best as it lays flat. I thought about this and something is pulling me to a bound book. So I'm now committed. I adjusted my margins and gutters for bound. Once i'm done fixing and adjusting each page, I can get official quotes with the real file. Appreciate all your replies and suggestions.

Anyone able to send a note to Keanu Reeves for me? Because he is a huge motorcycle fan and of course Norton fan. And has his own brand, would love to chat to him about Nortons and show him the book.

He doesn’t use social media apparently - smart man. You could try one of these avenues.

Agreed that the full color shiny would be great for wiping off prints and a lay flat spiral bound is essential if you are using while working on the bike. Also would help to add new pages in the future if needed.
Count me in for 1

Since you are far from Hollywood, Wechter is no longer his agent. Happened over the summer of 2025. Also, an email or other communication is intercepted by a company that typically looks for threats, then discards the rest.
