| Beskrivelse:
James 'PA' Norton, founded his company in 1898 making bicycle parts, producing his first motorcycle in 1902 - it looked like an ordinary pedal bicycle with a Clement engine and a petrol tank bolted on. Later, Norton also used Peugeot engines before he used those of his own design. Throughout the history of the company Norton had a very competitive racing team taking many trophies and breaking many records, especially throughout the thirties and early fifties. Sadly, the high-water mark of the company's success came after 'PA' Norton died in 1925 at the tragically young age of 56.
