Norton Dominator
by Mick Walker
The Norton Dominator - often commonly referred to by its owners
as the Dommie - was designed by Bert Hopwood, making its debut in
late 1948. What really made it stand out were several interesting
features such as widely splayed exhaust port, suitability for
tuning and its future development potential. Later, when equipped
with the renowned, race-developed, Featherbed frame and Featherbed
telescopic forks, it became a sporting icon. Within the pages of
this book are all the well-known models, including the 7, 88, 99,
650 and Atlas, plus the Jubilee, Navigator and Electra. Besides
the detailed development history of the series production
road-going models, there are other many interesting facets of the
Dominator story, including the works Domiracer [the first pushrod-engined
motorcycle to lap the Isle of Man TT Mountain circuit at 100mph];
victories in the famous Thruxton endurance races and the gruelling
international Six Days Trial. Mick Walker also takes readers
behind the scenes to reveal the infighting, both inside and
outside the boardroom, which took place within the Norton empire
over the years.

Norton, The Complete Illustrated History
By Mick Woollett
"The Untouchable Norton"
is how racer Rem Fowler described his machine after winning the
twin-cylinder class of the first TT in 1907. The company would use the
phrase in advertising for the next 50 years. This book charts the
history of one of the oldest marques in the world: both the glorious
racing tradition and the production machines, from the first clip-on
engines to the F1 rotary superbike. Interviews with those closely
involved (including James Nortons daughter Grace, who kindly provided
original documents and photographs reproduced here for the first time)
make this the definitive account of a key contribution to motorcycle
history. Paperback - 7-3/4" x 10-9/16" - 320 pp - 260 b/w, 2
