Norton - the Racing Story by Mick Walker

Norton - the Racing Story by Mick Walker

Norton bikes have been raced from almost the very begining. The very first Norton, of 1902, was actively campaigned and in 1907 the company won their class and claimed third place int he first Isle of Man TT. Before the war, Norton were regular winners on the race circuits of Britain and Europe and these machines paved the way for the most famous Norton of them all - the Manx, which dominated motorcycle racing in the 1950s. Ridden by many of the world's most famous riders, and still an icon in the motorcycling world today, the Manx is a true classic. In 2002, the centenary year of the first Norton bike, the author celebrates the Norton racing bike. From the first racers to the ultimately ill-starred rotary racers of the 1980s, every bike is chronicled in detail.

Mick Walker started his own business, Mick Walker Motorcycles, in 1969 and was a leading race sponsor during the 1970s. In 1994 he formed Mick Walker Racing, following the death of his son Gary at Brands Hatch that year. The team has achieved no fewer than five British Championship wins.
