The orange combat is mine. The black Mk3 Interstate next to me belongs to dirtymartini. The nice yellow combat with the stepped seat a few bikes down belongs to the long lost MarshalNorton. The 3 of us had lunch at the Ship Inn (Brit microbrew and pub) in Milford NJ afterwards, then went on a little blast on the backroads. All the bikes were running great!

Yay I made the second Vid at around 0:22. Looked for you too but like you said so many great people in attendance.
I rode down with a group of Triumph Guys from NYC .Stayed a couple or hours and after and we meandered our way back home through some beautiful country roads.Great event cant wait to go back next year.

Cheshire bloke · Apr 16, 2012

Great pics. And some great Nortons. The Scott Flying Squirrel is one of my all time favorite bikes.

One of the guys that rode down with us was Paul "The Vintagent" check out his pictures here http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/2012/04/gathering-of-nortons.html

kingdaddyo · Apr 17, 2012

This was my first time attending. I absolutely intend to go again next year and hopefully this time ride there instead of driving. There was a lot of very nice iron there and I really enjoyed seeing the old English other than Norton as well.
I watched the first Youtube clip and there I am in all my Glory. Thanks for letting me know about this and thanks for all the pictures.

Speirmoor, we chated a bit at the Modern Classics show. I will try to attend weather dependant of course, and i need to put a few more miles on her before i attempt the 40 mile run down there. I like to build up my confidence after i reassemble something with a few shake down runs close to home.

FYI my bike will be at the Radnor Hunt Concourse on Sept. 15th the motorcycle marque this year is Norton. It will also be on dislay at the Simeone Vintage Auto Museun in Philadelphia with a bunch of other Nortons from Aug 24th to Sept. 14th.

Hope to see you at the gathering!
Rich

Ok Rich calender marked for the Radnor see you at the Gathering.

batrider · Apr 10, 2013

Got the Norton fired up again OK over this past weekend. I have been riding the XR mostly - trying to get used to switched feet and it being such a heavy pig - so still may take that thing down there. (My wife asked why would you take a Harley to a Norton rally? She has a point.)

I will be there weather permitting. Hoping for same plan as last year with the addition of kevbo82 if he can get his bike sorted in time. I'm really out of practice so the ride home may not be quite as spirited as last year. Will probably end up at The Ship Inn in Milford, NJ afterwards for debriefing and cocktails.

You guys got me going for a minute. I thought I had missed it this year.
I will be there at the end of the month as well as at Radnor. I went to Radnor last year and NOT ONE Norton was there. I spoke to some people about it and am glad they have made this one about Nortons!

speirmoor · Apr 29, 2013
