The Norton is always awesome Doug, but that MV is pretty damn cool man! Nice.

Then a Kevin Cameron walk-by.

Well, that certainly was an entertaining treat. Fantastic P3M run at mosport. Big smiles. Perfect vid set up.

I was wondering, you have a 70hp dyno run with your bike on you tube-and I expected that you had more than 70 hp after watching your run at mosport. What kind of dyno was that on? Is this a typical number for your Norton? Thanks for providing some great entertainment.

The dyno is the one at Dyno Don's I don't know what model it is but we always use the same dyno. We have had as high as 74hp on the Norton but the real trick is the fact that we have done a lot of work to keep the weight down so my power to weight is most likely better than many of the superbikes out there; the bike weighs around 320 lbs I think although I have never actually put it on a scale, maybe I should do that. When I rolled Peter Hurst's Rickman Triumph triple around, it felt like an aircraft carrier compared to the Norton, you have to make up that weight with loads of hp...
