Celebrating 25 Years

Long Live our Norton Club

When I arrived in ’85
I left behind a biker life
rode english copies rising sun
afraid of gremlins they don’t run

But once up here upon the lakes
I got tired of all the fakes
go and get a british horse
and ride authentic without remorse
to heck with copies lets get real
my english lady has that feel

Rallied up in Michigan
met Suzi our superfan
even then her light shone bright
at fires lit all through the night

The flies are black near Kingston forts
so Guy could not resist
invited all the Norton sports
to lake district and mist
and soon this club existed
in 1999 thank Guy he insisted
with energy sublime

Rallies followed in Montrose
elephants with longish nose
after that by Vince & Gale
Chucky’s cottage in the dale
Lavigne too and Gravenhurst
quenching summer riding thirst

And here we are at twenty five
in Letterkenny – still alive
long live our Norton club
classic steeds from hub to hub

A never ending source to bond
with the brand we love
from across the pond
soon enough electrons rule
but lets keep open… Norton school

Bless your season with open eye
some fool out there will always try
