Northern California Norton Owners Club

Special Debut!

The Northern California Norton Owners Club is proud to be the first North American NOC club to display the NEW Norton Commando SE 961. We did it at the annual Clubmans All British Motorcycle show and swap meet event in San Jose, CA March 27, 2010.

The Clubmans event is the annual BSA Club All British event and a gathering of all the Northern California British clubs in a day of camaraderie and is the unofficial start to the spring riding season in this area. The San Francisco Bay Area is one the largest vintage bike markets and promotes many events that are vintage and classic oriented.

Norton UK's choice to display the Commando SE 961 for the first time in Northern California with the Northern California Norton Owners Club says a lot about how Norton feels about it's faithful and supportive followers. The clubs are, after all, the ones who have kept the name and glory alive all these years.

The bike was the talk of the show and very well received. Comments like "sporty" and "stylish" were heard all over the hall. The bike's style is classically reminiscent of the Commando of the past yet still modernly sporty and seriously road worthy looking. Amazingly comfortable sitting position for a sport style motorcycle, but many advanced riders are eagerly awaiting the touring position bike and seat with a pillion area, and slightly more upright bars.

The Northern California Norton Owners Club is honored and proud to be the club to debut the bike.
