Two Norton 961 Commandos basking in the July sun over Donington Park today. Have a great weekend and ‘Good Luck’ to Team GB.

Norton Motorcycles recently welcomed motorcycle enthusiasts from Guildford and treated them to a day to remember.

After a tour of the Norton Technology Centre and seeing the 961 Commando being built in the workshop, the group enjoyed an informal and entertaining Q&A with CEO Stuart Garner. The visit was brought to an end with an unexpected treat when Ian Morgan, Production Manager, rolled the 2012 TT racer out into the sunlight. The sound of the Norton SG1 must have been ringing in everyone’s ears as they made the trip home.

The Bradford University Staff Association (BUSTA) returned today for a tour of the Norton factory.

BUSTA Chairman, Steve Jenkins who was here a year ago, brought along more of his colleagues who didn’t get the opportunity last year. The group consisted widely of motorcycle enthusiasts, with others generally wanting to learn more about British manufacturing.
