South of England Classic Motorcycle Show: Sunday 29th October 2017 - Show Results
|

Great weather and a great line-up for the Norton Commando 50th Anniversary lead to a really busy event at Ardingly for our final event of 2017.
The Star of the Show was Norton’s rider and designer Peter Williams and two of his legendary bikes.
Together with other former AMC employees, Peter led a popular Questions and Answers session that was very well received by all.
On display on the Surrey Norton Owners’ club stand was his ground-breaking 1973 JPN Monocoque Norton Commando (pictured)
and the innovative 1974 JPN Space Frame Commando which featured a trellis frame remarkably similar to that used by Ducati many years later.
The innovative frame design of both bikes made the out-dated Commando engine competitive against the Japanese multis of the day,
with many wins including the TT and the Transatlantic series.
Peter was on hand all day answering questions and signing his autobiography and also presented the prizes.
The Show Results with details of the winning machines are available, click here to download.
Photos are by Keith Fryer and Sharon Benton. For more great photos from the day visit our FaceBook site for photos from Keith and for photos by Sharon, more photos to be uploaded soon!
We'tre back at Ardingly on Sunday 25th March 2018 for the South of England Classic Motorcycle Show and Autojumble.
