In my opinion there is no more iconic British racing motorcycle than the Manx Norton of the 1950s. This video is about a 1959 Manx that has quite a history with Australian riders and the Isle of Man.

Ross best one yet. And that's the best sounding bike I've ever heard

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

Cheers Rob, yes it sounds epic, video doesn’t do it justice.

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

Very proud of my cousin, I blame him for my obsession with all things mechanical! No one else in our family has the charisma of Dave!

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

And so you should be, Dave is an amazing story teller. Glad you liked the story

Some fantastic history right there. I am currently reading Circus Life by Don Cox. So far, a very good read.

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

It’s on my reading list also.

@whatsstefon 2 года назад

What an epic story behind the bike. Freaking love the sound of old tech. Modern bikes just sound like such sewing machines in comparison.

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

Cheers Stef, I’d love to do a follow up story with Len Atllee if I can get in touch with him. There’s something about those big singles that sound great.

I live 5 minutes from where mccandless lived. He took the feather bed frame to triumph first but they weren't interested and then Norton snapped it up.

@BikerTorque 2 года назад

Smart move by Norton. Didn’t know that he took it to Triumph first, thanks for sharing.

I have a -59 350 Manx. Made in a batch for John Surtees. He took another one. One thing not really mentioned is how it is to ride one. It handles about the same as a modern sports bike. Just as any other featherbed framed Norton, but it's lighter. The problem with riding it is that it lacks low end torque. Completely useless under 4000 rpm. At 5000 it starts to pull and I usually don't rev it more than 8000. Mine was fitted with a 5 speed gearbox in -61 in order not to need slipping clutch in the hairpins with fairing fitted.

I think and know the Featherbed is the grandmother of all modern motorcycle. Best regards 🍀

@alan1340 2 года назад

I would love to own one, and it wouldnt have to be a known and raced bike but I fear the cost of such a beauty would still be beyond my reach. Sad eh. Great story and pics though mate., you tell the story well.
