Norton DeLuxe Model 99 description

You got to see this... Norton Dominator Deluxe model 99 Featherbed, One of perhaps six in the nation and certainly the only one with this period Correct faring!
Even world-wide, Very Rare! This bike starts easily and is a solid runner!

It's owner writes...

"Built only from 1959 to 1961 the 88 and 99 DeLuxe were Norton's answer to the bathtub Triumph, Velocette Vee-Line and Vincent Black Prince. Few were built, and ever fewer have survived in the original formats, resulting in one the rarest Nortons.

This example is a numbers-matching original with a few changes to make it more rideable such as 12 volt electrics and 2LS front brake. Items such as the seat, silencers and exhaust pipes have been replaced with modern lookalikes. The fairing is period correct Avon, and the top box is by Craven. For the purists, the original SLS front brake is included. Also the original headlamp she and mountings are included in care a new owner wanted to ride it without the fairing.

It has been owned by me since 1975, which is when I first restored it. Since then it has been refreshed several times. I rode it often in my native England, later in Maryland and more recently Colorado. It has been twice to the Isle of Mann, many times over the Continental Divide, and a few years ago on the Norton National rally when it was held in Wyoming. Well known among Colorado enthusiasts, it has never failed to bring me home from a run and draws a crowd wherever it is parked.

It starts easily and is ready to ride, and while not pristine, it is smart enough to grace any museum and win show awards. Currently it is on display at Moon Motorcycles in Issaquah, near Seattle.

Please feel free to ask any questions." Moon Motorcycles Issaquah, WA call Scott with any questions

One owner since the mid-seventies. It has taken it's owner, twice to the Isle of Man, all around Maryland, and many times on the 600 mile weekend Phantom Canyon run from Colorado up into Wyoming, going over the Continental Divide twice each time.

It's almost 100% original apart from the front brake upgrade and addition of the Avon fairing (bought from the Lord Mayor of Burton!) and the Craven top box and 12 volt electrics.

Ready to ride, this investment quality machine needs to be in your garage!

See Britain's land speed record hopeful at Race Retro 2010

Tue, 09 Mar 2010

SEE THE MACHINE that could propel Britain to a new motorcycle land speed world record at The Race Retro 2010 show, held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from 12th to 14th March. Almost a year has passed since Visordown broke the news of the planned UK assault on the land speed record - this coming August the Angelic Bulldog team travels to Bonneville, where it is hoping to smash the 400mph barrier and bring the motorcycle Land Speed Record back to the UK for the first time since 1937. The current record stands at 360.913mph over a kilometre.

I'm on a Goodwood Revival comedown

Tue, 22 Sep 2009

I'm on a massive comedown after a great weekend at Goodwood Revival. The Revival relives the glory days of the 50s and 60s and that's not just marketing hype, almost everyone is dressed in perios clothing, the cars are all from 1948 to 1966 and the effort that goes into setting Goodwood up is incredible, even the burger vans are retro Citroens, the staff are dressed in period clothing and about the only thing not retro was the price of a bacon sarnie; £6.50, ouch! I only planned to go down on Friday, but I had such a good time I headed back on Sunday too.

The Rotary Racebike Is Back With The Crighton Racing CR700P – Video

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Here are the facts: 200 hp, 100 ft.-lbs, and 700cc. If you’re guessing what engine is capable of producing numbers like this, you’re probably looking in the wrong direction. No, this isn’t coming from a piston engine, but a rotary.
