       Among others of the time, this 55' Norton Manx 500cc Single was  to be respected also.

          I wish it was mine. Actually, I found the picture online. There were some really awesome bikes back then too. I've always respected those Matchless G50s, Norton Manx, BSA Gold Stars (the ones made in the 50's), the Vincent Black Shadow, Velocette Thruxton  and others that escape me for the moment. Then, in the 60's, there was a Matchless 600cc single called the "Typhoon".

           Tim, Tim, Tim.

                  The Norton Manx usually Was out front. And it didn't have anything to do with that odd looking number plate either.   Never really understood the shape of that plate myself.
