Hislop's legendary Norton to appear in Classic TT parade

by isleofman.com 7th August 2014
The bike ridden by TT legend Steve Hislop in what's viewed as the greatest race in the event's history, is to return to the Island later this month.
The ex-works Norton will appear in the Joey Dunlop lap of honour during the Classic TT.
Hislop rode the bike to victory in the 1992 Senior TT, which saw him battle for the lead throughout the six laps with Carl Fogarty.
Hislop went on to win the Senior by 4.4 seconds, setting a race record of 121.8 miles per hour.
The Hislop Norton is currently on display at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham and will be ridden by its director James Hewings.
The parade lap takes place during the Classic TT Races presented by Bennetts, on August bank holiday Monday, 25th.
