Hello from the deep east Texas pineywoods. I recently discovered in my local bike shop an old Norton I had previously 4 years ago heard of . It surfaced at my buddy's shop and after some detective work I purchased it from the owner.
I hope it proves out to be a John Player Norton , so far I think it is. The bike is about 98% all there, and in reasonable condition considering it has been leaning aside a barn for the last 10 years.
I live about 100 miles N.E. of Houston in a rural area. The nearest Brit bike shop is Gulf Coast Triumph/BMW also in Houston. I plan on hauling it by there for a consult on where to start.
I have restored several cars and Harleys , but this is my first try at a British Bike. To be honest -- I'm a bit overwhelmed at a 30 year old foriegn bike with a now defunct marque. But --- hey , it's only a thing.Have a look ..let me know what you think...
