Alan's Nortons

 I'm very humbled by your interest in displaying my customised 1949 Norton (lovingly known as Grace) at next year's Kickback show, under the category of a Modified Classic. This is the second bike I've built since 2015, both just for myself and only to satisfy the spark that has and continues to burn between my ears.  Both bikes (Ethel a 1943 customised Norton & Grace - named after the two daughters of James Lansdown Norton) are my sole design and are hand-built in my garage.  Fabrication of tanks and guards and not forgetting the artwork/painting/leatherwork have been undertaken by skilled professionals that are mostly local to me - the Leatherwork however went a little further afield to South Shields. Before dipping my toe into bringing Ethel & Grace back to life, I had not even rebuilt a pushbike.  So you can imagine that I know a whole lot more swear words now than I ever did prior to 2015! Both of my bikes are not perfect, I have built them to ride and enjoy.

What is KICKBACK?

KICKBACK is an expression of nonconformity, and in a world saturated with second-rate copies, a display of rebellion and individuality rocks. KICKBACK is an all-ticket, all-indoor, independent, grass-roots motorcycle exhibition mostly dedicated to DIY shed / home builds. KICKBACK was built with autonomy, grit and determination from the bottom up – just like the bikes we celebrate. No big corporate money men with deep pockets and clean hands – this is the sting-in-the tail industry platform for young builders and craftsmen with wild imaginations and dirty fingernails. KICKBACK is a celebration of engineering and design excellence which embraces the modern custom scene and the new wave. KICKBACK is a definitive showcase for rare classics and customised gems built in sheds, garages and workshops by young engineers as well as experienced professionals. KICKBACK may not be considered mainstream, or for wealthy city people it’s a cool and subversive event that champions the offbeat and lov
