Sort of related but does anyone know if The Norton pub in Cold Norton, where a million years ago the Norton Owners Club used to meet, is opene again?

The Norton Commando 850 was the first bike I fell in love with (but sadly never rode)

Yeah me too, we had a dealer in St Helens called Tom Collins who sold Nortons and Triumphs but the 850 interstate was and still is the THE bike for me, one day
