Re: Ron Wood Norton

CycleWorld did a nice spread on the lightweight bike a few years ago with great big color photos of the newly refurbished bike. Had pictures and descriptions of all the Wood Norton s. If someone still has it, it would be great for a scan.

Oh My Matt, motorcycles just don't get more real looking than this to me and the cutting loose action!
The safety wired jubilee clamps detail flashed me back aways, thanx. Got most the recipe now so someone cook up a few similar. At 75-77 hp that beastie had 1 hp per less than 4 lb.

Thanks Matt, good stuff.

hugoct · Jun 11, 2012

the #76 bike is the same bike that is at Donelson's
it is a Trackmaster built by Nick Deligianas and was the first bike used for Aldana's factory supported team
It is not a Harold Allison bike
The second #13 is one of the C&J factory Nortons that David rode in 1973-74
In the picture with Keener and Roberts David is on Mike Kidd's factory Triumph built by Brent Thompson
The two #13s at Indy...the bike with the Goldstar tank is David's TT bike the only Norton twin to win an AMA TT national

Nice, but for best performance they need another pipe up the side, http://www.motocarrera.com/ttspecial.htm

Yep, King Kenny, was the greatest.
I saw an interview with him talking about the TZ Yammy on the Mile,
he said it was the scariest thing he'd ever ridden in his life and that you couldn't roll
the throttle off at the end of the straight, at 120 mph, because it would regain traction and lift the front wheel
so you just had to keep into it.
YEE HAA.
