WELCOME TO THE ONO:
ONTARIO NORTON OWNERS
Dedicated to the preservation and ownership of Norton
motorcycles
We welcome anyone with an interest in riding and preserving
vintage machines of all kinds, but obviously, we have a soft spot
for Nortons.
We are very much a ride and rally club.
Everything we do revolves around getting Nortons and their
riders out to our rallies and other related events.
That is our goal, plain and simple.
We do this so that you can get the most out of your vintage
riding experience. Come
to our rallies. Ride
or drive anything, we don’t care, as long as you share our
passion for Nortons.
Despite indisputable fast speeds on the track and on the streets, and absolutely
unbelievable handling, not to mention the sweetest rumble that
you’ve ever heard, and a design aesthetic that is unmatchable,
the Norton motorcycle has had many naysayers and detractors.
Its untrusted electrics earned the name “Prince of
Darkness.” But did
you know that a simple little thing like a jar of Vaseline solves
all of those connection problems forever?
The 1972 Combat Commando engine was overstressed and known
to “blow up”, but with Superblend bearings, the Combat is
actually the most desirable Norton.
I’m still riding mine today.
So when you know the tricks, you have a very reliable
machine that will not only outlast you, but pretty well all other
bikes on the road. History
has already proven this.
The ONO is filled with many experienced riders,
some of whom have owned their Nortons since brand new!
These members have an invaluable wealth of knowledge.
That, combined with our affiliation with the INOA
(International Norton Owners Association) and the NOC (Norton
Owners Club) gives our members an introduction to the whole world
of Nortons.
We know Nortons.
That’s why we ride our 40-year-old machines with
confidence.
Even if you can’t make it to our rallies, join our club
for the camaraderie of a unique group of individuals.
Really, the $20 membership fee is worth it just for the
quarterly issues of the NOMAD.
Your President and fellow Nomad,
Manse James
