Nortons at Beezumph

Fast Eddie · Jul 20, 2025

I see the TR3OC have invited the NOC to buddy up for Beezumph this year.

Makes sense I guess… get a few Commandos to show these triples the way around Cadwell Park

Beezumph is this Thursday and Friday (24th and 25th) with the track day on Friday.

I’m planning on being there with a couple of Nortons, anyone else going ?

I did think about taking the 961 for a laugh until I realised it most likely wouldn’t pass the 105db noise limit !

Yes, I’ll be there. Not going round in circles though.

See you there mate, come and say hello and tell us all about your madcap nordcap !

Dunno about the other chaps but I didn’t take any.
Good to meet up with Mark and Reggie. And it was a great day on the track.
Was a really good turnout too with some absolutely beautiful bikes there.

I didn’t take many.

Weather was pretty poor in Thursday so I went off to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Museum at Nearby RAF Coningsby. A complete turnaround weather wise on Friday luckily. I’ve never seen so many Tridents and I’ve been to quite a few Beezumphs.

I met the owner of that JPN rep, he bought it when it was 2 years old and has had it ever since.
He even proddie raced it for a while !

This is the four cylinder "Quadrent" built by George Pooley, and it runs very well

Sorry about the two replicated pictures above. You'll just have to enjoy them twice.

I’ve not seen that rigid Speed Twin / T150 before.
It’s an unusual concept… and one I can’t quite get my head around!

Mark Savage · Jul 26, 2025

I did take a picture of a Hurricane if that counts?

The rigid Speed Twin T150 belongs to a lady who has even shorter legs than I have, so I believe one of the priorities was low seat height but with good looks and a great engine.

I forgot to say earlier, it was very nice to meet and talk with you again.

It's an early version of a speed triple I believe

Thanks guys, great pics. Looks as though it was a great weekend.
I think I know the owner of the JPN replica! Small world eh?

He’s originally from Scotland, now resides in Norfolk, forget his name…

Nice comparison of a Dunlop KR76 tread pattern with a Heidenau K44.

I told someone once that the K44 was the available tyre that looked most authentic to '70s tread pattern race tyres.

He told me I was mistaken, but he wasn't that polite!
