Ray Petty is quite famous in tight knit circles of vintage motorcycle enthusiasts, yet little information can be found online in regards to his many great achievements. I've recently come across a very special project, and although I'm not quite ready to divulge exactly what it is, I thought it would be nice to post some information about Ray and some of the things that he achieved as well as some of the great Norton motorcycles he built and tuned.
The following is a set of scans from an old motorcycle magazine. My apologies for the poor quality, but they're scans of photocopies. If you enlarge them, you should be able to read them:
