I knew Terry Muir in the 1970's when he ran a small business making spare parts for knitting machines that had been exported to India. He gave me a passion for Norton motorcylces and I spent a great deal of time working for him and with him in his factory which he named Mcintyre Developments. Terry was a good friend, we lost contact when I moved south but I am told he migrated to the Isle of Mann. - Roger Jackson Report this
