The GOAT?



Graham Hill (pictured in 1969) is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown....

The Triple Crown of Motorsport is an unofficial motorsport achievement, often regarded as winning three of the most prestigious motor races in the world in one's career: the Indianapolis 500 (first held in 1911), the 24 Hours of Le Mans (first held in 1923), and the Monaco Grand Prix (first held in 1929).

I have a healthy respect for Nortons.

Years ago, I was carving Turnbull Canyon (Southern California) on my Katana 1100 and I saw motion in my mirrors.
Shortly afterward, I could heard the bass rumble of an engine working almost in unison with my 1100 beast and there it was, a Norton Commando overtaking me on those twisting and winding curves.

Got a nod from the rider as he passed, too.
 
When I was still living in Sweden and worked for FFV/SAAB, a colleague of mine had two Norton Commando's, a black and a yellow one, don't remember if both were Roadsters, Fastbacks or one of each, he was a British and Norton bike fan though....
You could hear him coming long before that you actually saw him...



 
I always thought the Fastback looked the best. I saw one done in polished aluminum at Mid-Ohio Vintage days. When the sun shone, it almost hurt to look at.
