Norton M28 at Beezumph 18

This was the first time the Norton M28 concept bike has been on display to the motorcycle public, exhibiting alongside the Angelic Bulldog streamliner at the Beezumph 18 event, Cadwell Park.

It caught the eye of many passers by and generated many positive reactions. Had a long chat with Peter Williams (ex GP racer, Norton designer/engineer and a very nice guy) about the concept, manufacturing techniques using composite materials and the future of electric motorcycles.

Also had an invite from Malcom Wheeler from the Classic Bike magazine who insists that it is taken the Classic Bike Show at Stafford this October. He also took some photos and interviewed me to create this article.

Design - The Three Degrees

During the 2008 Coventry University Degree Show, we had a visit from Glynn Kerr of MotoVision, who also happens to be the President of the Motorcycle Design Association. He came over from California, and fortunately had the time to come and visit the show and talk to the guys who were involved with motorcycle related projects.

This is an article that he subsequently wrote and has been featured in various magazines around the world. It features the Norton M28 concept, along with work from my colleagues at university.
