	Norton (motorcycle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norton is a British motorcycle marque from Birmingham and founded in 1898.
		The marque withdrew their teams from racing in 1938, but between 1937 and 1945 nearly one quarter of all (ca 400,000) British military motorcycles were Nortons, basically the WD 16H (solo) and WD Big Four outfit (with driven sidecar wheel).
		One famous rider of a Norton motorcycle was the medical student and future revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, who along with his friend Alberto Granado, famously toured South America on a 1939 Norton 500, nicknamed 'The Mighty One'.

	Memorable Motorcycles: Norton Kneeler - MotorcycleUSA.com
		So, when cash strapped Norton wanted to improve their increasingly uncompetitive 350cc Grand Prix racer, turning the bike into the world's first serious kneeler racer was very much a "home improvement" effort.
		As the DOHC Norton motor beat harshly beneath my chest, and the bike bounced over the expansion joints in the concrete speed bowl, it was impossible not to feel that this was more than just another ride on another bike.
		The first was fuel supply and Norton engineer Ernie Walsh hit on the idea of driving a fuel pump from the left-hand side of the inlet camshaft to a header tank which fed the Amal G.P. carburetor.

	Memorable Motorcycle: Norton Dominator - MotorcycleUSA.com
		Norton's Bracebridge Street works in Birmingham was a near perfect example of how not to build motorcycles - but still the factory managed to produce one of the best big bikes of its era.
		Not only did the "Featherbed" set the handling standard for the whole of the motorcycling world, but its great benefit to Norton (and many other manufacturers) was that the duplex design allowed almost any engine to be housed within the widely splayed frame tubes.
		Finished in Norton's classic polychromatic grey color scheme, the Dominator also looked every part as elegant as its Triumph contemporary and was far more elegant than the Ariels and BMWs of the day.

		This is an important motorcycle, a bridge between drag racing's early amateur days and the professional sport it's become today.

		Once the supercharged inline fours began to dominate the sport in the late 1970's he was relegated to running occasional Dragbike USA events and showing the bike at British Days around the country.
