This spring we were happy to host a TED Talk of adventure motorcycle touring with special guest Lyndon Poskitt—the creator of “Races to Places” and a 3-time Dakar Rally finisher. We were so excited for this special guest that we hosted him twice—first on Thursday, March 28, followed by a repeat presentation on Saturday, March 30.
The Norton Commando was never intended to save the company. But it did just that, and 50 years later its name has left an indelible mark. Here’s a retrospective with detailed photos tracing the arc of this iconic motorcycle.
Thanks to generous sponsorship from our friends at Belstaff, and copious cooperation from Kenny Cummings and the team at NYC Norton, we produced a two-day motorcycle show on Union Street to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic British bike.
This September has been hot and fast on Union Street in Brooklyn. Two weeks ago we were all out on the sidewalk under swirling dark clouds, holding down a couple of event tents as late summer storm gusts tried to rip them out of our hands. We were setting a launch party for the Roland Sands Design Pop-Up Shop, and mother nature was being a real bitch.
