Hello mini-me,

Thanks, I tried all of that already and could not locate anything recent that fits.

Hence I am here hoping that someone might know of him and help me.

The Classic Biker Bar / John Ponton - Norton mechanic 1930s
« on: October 14, 2016, 09:09:34 AM »
Hello,

I hope someone can help with some information about a Norton race mechanic from the 1930s.
John Ponton was a Scotsman and worked for the Norton race team around 1935 to 1938.

The attached photos show someone whom I believe was John Ponton (standing left in both photos). This is not Bill Mewis who didn't wear glasses.

I would like any information about John Ponton and his engagement with Norton. I know that after the Second World War he was stationed in Germany as part of the occupation forces and raced bikes there as an amateur until at least 1948. What happened to him after that is not clear.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
