- Richard Wilson takes us for a lap of the famous TT Mountain Course in the 2022 Manx Grand Prix onboard his rotary-engined Norton RCW588, in a replica ‘White Charger’ livery to celebrate 30 years since Steve Hislop’s historic 1992 Senior TT victory.

Well that's my 71 year old memory banks topped up! Thanks for the video! Wiz Norton Racing you are AWESOME! Richard Wilson Congratulation on your 'Taming of the Beast! 💯
That noise and looking at them Abus logos on his leathers gave me goose bumps, 30 years since the great man did the business on the beast.RIP Hizzy
The noise of the rotarys, dare i say its like two stroke but better?
They invited us (me and my son) to have a closer look inside their tent to watch that fantastic Wankel-Engine.
Thank you for that close look, it was amazing!
Many years ago I was lucky enough to ride one of these from Essex to the Rock and Blues in Derby and back, I managed to bungee a small tent and sleeping bag on the tail. Impossible to ride slowly around town, not happy until 70 + mph when she came into her own, she would accelerate from 100 upwards like from a standstill on a regular bike. On the way back I left my Commander riding companions and despite her tractor rear tyre I gave her the berries all the way, on a packed sunday M25 a clearing opened before me and I remember glancing down and seeing the speedo climb through 170 ! the gentle curves on the motorway became sharp bends and I was cranked right over to negotiate them, the ford focuses with their roof boxes but a silver blur flashing by. Exhilarating stuff and totally mad but I got away without ending in a fireball and a 2 inch obituary, the tent stayed on but was hanging down at the side of the rear wheel when I got home. The bike was sold at Stafford show auction some years later, she was bought by a classic bike magazine and given away as a prize. Awesome machines.
Was gunna moan earlier that we'd hardly seen this bike haha! Awesome, thank you 😂😁
Thankyou for making my Friday……Wiz Norton doing it louder on the roads…..👍😜

Absolutely outstanding! Watched Richard from the Creg, and he was really flying! What a great week, a big thank you to all the riders.
Fantastic Rich, you put the Bosh into KIBOSH , fantastic effort and commitment from the whole WIZ team, was a privilege to watch 👍🤘🤘🍻
What a machine.. It ain't a two stroke, nor a four stroke..
Its a three stroke!!
Some of the grittiest footage I’ve seen awesome
Brilliant, gives you goosebumps just watching the onboard, what an experience for Richard.
Brilliant, well done and a replica to boot. You and all your crew deserve gold medals for the work you had to do to enable to race.l last saw Richard on Saturday when the final kick in the nuts was when a seagull stole his chips! Congratulations and I hope to see you and your crew next year.All the best for whatever you ride next season.
