Spoke to John at Scarborough 1 year. Had been a friend of Norman. He confirmed that Norman had gone to Aussie, was a coal merchant & that Normans Daughter was coming over to England to spent time with John & his family. He also said he would send my greetings to Norman. Had quite a few conversations & laughs with Norman. At a Snetterton meeting a massive thunderstorm in the night. He had left some things outside his van & got up to bring them inside when lightning struck the wire fencing & blue flashes spread along it. Norman dived back into the van double quick & covered his head he informed us the next morning.
I was sharing a tent with a friens & was on a camp bed. Les on the flor when suddenly he shouted out, water was pouring through the tent which was on a slight slope. We had a van & car with a cover draped over it. My Entrant & future father in law got up to check if things were OK & the “awning?” was full of water. He used a knife to slit the cover & let the water out. Next morning Les went to his bike, parked under the cover & his food floated out of the panniers. Oh the good old days

This picture is most likely taken in 1912. Judging by the color scheme and layout of the license plate on the front of the motorcycle. This is an Iowa plate from 1912.

Great photo! This is a very heavy motorbike to attempt racing with. But, it looks as though the rider is enjoying himself, eh?
