About the Club
The Norton Owners Club of NSW has existed since May 1981. The present membership is in around 100 members, scattered throughout Australia.
The principal aim of the club is to provide a means whereby anyone with an interest in Nortons can share ideas, technical information, and camaraderie with other Norton enthusiasts. This has now resulted in more Nortons back on the road than ever before in the Club’s history.
For further details about the club, meetings, contacts and membership go to the club page.

Then three weeks later we head north to the Road Warriors cafe for the 2nd run, meeting Berowra Mobil at 11.00am.

Top of The Valley Report from Bob
"It was great to be out on the bike so early, the sun was just coming up, the sky was clear and the air was chill. Had the thermal undies under the leathers and with winter gloves on I was off against the elements and loving it. Condensation on the visor from heavy breathing making a kaleidoscope view of the world"
"Wallaby Scrub Road is named for a good reason, not only were there wallabies along the road but a couple of good sized kangaroos as well, not to mention a couple of wombats. Looked like mother & child waddling along the side of the road. Watch out blokes!! Across through Broke and heading for Wollombi, all was going well. The Big 4 was roaring and going great"

2010 Thunder Rally 8th–10th October, 2010
The NSW Ducati Owners Club has again invited us to the 2010 Thunder Rally. I'll let Aunty Mal explain.
"We have solid raffle prizes, including vouchers for bike gear and more! We ask that you fill out the form and send it in asap to help us get it right on the day!...AND...spend 2 minutes sending the info along to your group of fellow riders etc. Every .55c we save on postage, is another .55c we can give to the Moorong Spinal Unit! By doing this you are taking your place along with the 9000+ riders who have travelled 8,000,000+ks supporting this concept over the last 28 years. Well Done! It's a wonderful ride and a beautiful rally site. Here is a direct link for the Thunder Rally section of our club website, including entry forms, pictures etc. All riders welcome! Ideally we'd love you to come for a ride and have some fun up at the Thunder, but, don't forget, there is a "non-attendance option" for those who still want to support "Moorong" and get their badge, T-shirt etc, but just can't get there. Ride safe, one and all."
Check out the DOCNSW website to download form and for more information.
