Chase to get it into top gear and 昀at out.
It was also at this time that Les asked me if l could make
certain parts, l de昀nitely needed the money to keep my
Norton's on the road. Being married and starting a family, the
UK was a tough place to survive in 昀nancially even with a full
time job with lots of overtime, l was an engineer at Lucas
Electrical with good workshop facilities and an endless supply
of metal, so l made an ever growing list of parts, which in turn
helped me build a workshop and manufacture parts, which l
still do to this day.
I'm still friends with Carole at Norvil, we keep in touch, so l
still feel a strong connection with Norvil, certainly a strong
enough connection to enable me to write this very personal
account of a very special time in my life, l hope that Carole
and Sue approve of my writing about a very special time in our
lives, hopefully they can continue the legend that Les Emery
started.
I didn't write about les's love for his railway at Chasewater,
that and many other things are another story. We have history.
Legends never die, the metal and knowledge persists,
Colin.
