Norton Motorcycles is a saga of brilliance marred by chaos, a story best summed up in rubber bushings, Featherbed frames, and 10 rounds of bankruptcy. FortNine does a fabulous job of giving the story in the video below, but I’ll summarize it as well. It begins in 1898 with James Norton’s Birmingham shed, a curly “N,” and racing glory.

In the video above FortNine does a detailed look at the three-wheeler, including why it was banned in the U.S. (more…)
