- Synopsis:
e name of Norton is synonymous with the golden age of Great British motorcycling, and with such evocative models as the commando and the Dominator, although production ceased many years ago, Norton will never be forgotten. This programme is a true celebration of the late great Nortons that are so prized and treasured by classic motorcycle enthusiasts to this very day. From Northon's earliest beginnings in Victorian British, follow this fascinating story of James Lansdowne Norton's inspired engineering, right through to the collapse of the British motorcycle industry in the post World War II era. Whether you're a seasoned Norton aficionado or a complete novice when it comes to classic motorcycles, there's something here to suit every taste. Take to the road and enjoy this fine selection of Norton motorcycles in action, with plenty of close up views thrown in for good measure. These are not museum exhibits, the North's featured here are regularly used for the purpose they were designed for, and as well as giving their owners hours of pleasure, they always remain a living, breathing chronicle of British transport history. - Studio:
