NORTON MOTORCYCLES: I can remember being a child in the 1970's. My older sister was dating this long haired guy that rode a Chopper. Not just any chopper, it was a Norton Chopper. He would pull up on this brown Norton Chop sporting a Led Zeppelin T-Shirt. This around 1977. My sister ended up marrying the guy and he sold his Norton Chopper to get a Harley. Likely the engine was the only Norton related thing on that machine. It had a super long springer front end, rigid frame and brown primer fuel tank. Besides my dad's motorcycles, that Norton was quite inspiring for the day. |
