A Portuguese Norton

By Joe Berk

I’d like to be able to tell you more about this classic Norton single I spotted recently in Porto, Portugal, but I can’t.  I was in a hurry to hop on a boat ride, the owner wasn’t around, and after snapping a couple of photos I had to run.

Here’s a view from the bike’s left side.

I thought I might find info on the bike’s headstamp, but in the photos I have I couldn’t find anything.  I’d sure like to know more about it.  If you have any info on what this bike is, please leave a comment and let us know.

Thanks much.
