McLEAN NAMED OUTSTANDING NORTON DEALER Alex McLean, the owner of Motorcycle Unlimited in Corte Madera, Callf., has been named the top Norton dealer for the seven western states for 1969. During 1969 Alex sold 54 Nortons, which is quite an accomplishment since he has only had the Norton franchise for two years. He first opened in Corte Madera four years ago. Since he was 16 years old in Scotland, Alex has had a firm belief in Nortonsin their excellent handling and supreme reliability. He and his four brothers each owned morotcycles which consequently led them to having a 5-man shop for their bikes. One of his brothers, who is st1ll living in Scotland, took 3rd place in the Isle of Man one year. "'*** *=--)00 SMlTS, · CONCORD , CALIF. : MOTORCYCLEPARTS : ...
