Twin Cities Norton Owner's Club
Welcome to the TCNOC homepage. Our group meets the
THIRD THURSDAY of each month , usually at Dulono's Pizza on Lake and Lyndale in Minneapolis Minnesota( but check below and in "announcements"). It is a very informal group, and anyone interested in old bikes is welcome. In the summer, the meetings are held outside in the parking lot where we have seen(on First Thursdays) as many as 1500 bikes on a warm dry night. People start to gather at about 7 P.M. and hang around until midnight. We have a drawing for doorprizes, a raffle, and announcements between 8 and 9 P.M. at the whim of our "Dictator for Life". Anyone interested in finding out more can e-mail ADVO@Cloudnet.com for information. Click here for a history of 1st and 3rd Thursday meetings.
Dictator's Ride! October 11th 2003 (click it) Your too late!
As of June 15th, 2000,, we will be meeting the Third Thursday of the month. Our First Thursday time in the summer at Dulono's is no longer tenable. There are just too many bikes (of assorted types......)for us to bring our early iron in where it is safe. Because of various media reporting on the gathering, it has taken on a life of its own. The Gang of Four has decided in its infinate wisdom to change to our new time slot. We started out meeting at Dulono's, but decided to move around to allow some of our members living somewhere BESIDES South Minneapolis a shorter ride. Optimally, it would be good for some of our long term members who have not contributed in any meaningful way to the club activities , to volunteer venues for meetings, perhaps arrange doorprizes, come up with themes (like four stroke singles night). In the winter people will still be able to come to Dulono's on 1st Thursday but we will have meetings on Third Thursdays at various venues. We will post times and locations on this site as available.
A list of where we will meet for "Third Thursdays" in coming months will be posted here.

1)Monthly meetings
