Test Riders

Here’s a gaggle of road tester gaffs heading out for a zoom on the latest batch of motos from the Norton plant. I’m sure the A38 was a regular stomping ground to spin out the motors and supporting frames. Swing on up to Derby and Leeds beyond; or down to distant Exeter. Traffic back then was light too. “Ride Out Lads!”

  1. Yo Davie..
    Ride-out.. you sure..?
    Look again. Are there not blocks under each bike/footrest..? Would that not suggest a posed promo shot for the factory.. to be “camera-shopped” [in period !] later. Maybe that was the case..? and just maybe this one got out..? At this distance in time, who would know.. eh.?
    Now then, have you been back to see the family..? AND.. if so.. did we have our meet.. OR.. did I get forgotten/dumped. Hmmmmm.?
    C’mon now.. out with it my man.
    If you’d have been in England this year you’d have LOVED it.. so much to choose from.. where to start.. if only the weather were kinder, life would be mega.. eh not..?
    It’s the BBC Sports person etc this weekend.. pick the bones out of that lot dear viewers..! I don’t know how they can.. my money is on Jessica Ennis. We’ll see..
    Oh yes, and all best wishes to you and yours. Have a lovely Christmas.
