2025 is my 52nd year in the classic motorcycle industry, though in 1973 when I started working in the parts department of Firth Motorcycles, the Norton distributor for Ontario, Canada, most of the bikes we love were current motorcycles, not classics yet.
Though I sure as heck don't know everything, I am glad to share anything I have learned over the years about British motorcycles, particularly Triumph. BSA, and Norton. As well, my company has been importing and distributing Hagon shocks since 1983, and I am always glad to do my best to help with suspension issues on any year, make, and model motorcycle, either onsite or off site. My Dad rode until he was 80, then gave me his Vanson leathers and his Matchless, and at 69, I plan to follow his example -I figure I have a lot more years on two wheels if all goes well. See you on the road.
