Post by: iansoady on May 29, 2021, 01:12:11 PM: I never cease to be amazed by the creativity of some people. The Norton Owners Club magazine has a series in which a weird engine is examined each month. Some are pretty straightforward but I struggle to get my head round some of the others.

Re the Wankel I always fancied a Norton rotary but never quite managed to have the money / space in the garage / time to get one. Too big and heavy now I fear. Or maybe an Interpol-powered sidecar outfit.......
