Useful Links

The following links to websites are provided as a resource to our customers and site visitors.  Obviously we aren't responsible for what these guys post, but we trust you will find them useful in your version of life, liberty and the pursuit of the Classic Bike Experience. We tend to highlight regional organizations and events ie the Northeast as that is where most of our customers hail from.

Parts Lists, Factory Manuals, Advertisements, Sales Flyers

  • CLASSIC BIKE . BIZ  This site is the mother load of  documentation for Triumphs and Nortons.  Before you call Nick asking for parts, do some research to be sure you know what you need.  Warning:  you'll be on this site for at least an hour the first time.  The ads etc are just too much. Unfortunately no BSA stuff yet, but I'd guess it is on its way.

Technical Sites

  • DEMON ETHANOL  Well, that's what we call it.  This site has a very well done technical paper from the boat industry on the effects of ethanol on fiberglass tanks.  Nasty combination.  If you have a fiberglass tank, lined or not, DO NOT use ethanol fuel.  Go out of your way to find a non-ethanol source.  Trust us on this one.
  • MORE DEMON ETHANOL  This site describes issues with ethanol left in your tank for more than 3 months.  Of course the news is bad, so more reason to drain your tank for the winter.

  • COMMANDO SERVICE NOTES  Unassuming but terrific - and entertaining - compilation of all things Commando.  Lots of useful bits and stories about our favorite bikes.  A must read for the Norton owner.

Organizations

  • NENO  New England Norton Owners Association.  Good bunch.  We have personally been long standing members, even though we haven't made too many events.  A must join if you are a Norton owner.

Events

  • Coming soon..............

 

Know a good link for Classic Brit Bikers?

We will try to compile a succinct list of useful links for use by our customers and site visitors.  If you have some recommended sites, please let us know.  Good technical resources, owners groups, events & rallies are good.
