Norman Hossack
Norman Hugh Hossack (born 22 February 1946) is a Scottish inventor/engineer and is recognized as the inventor of the HOSSACK motorcycle front suspension system, as seen on the K Series BMW motorcycles.
==Early life==
Hossack was born in Bellshill, Scotland, but grew up in Rhodesia. Norman’s father, also an inventor, developed methods to pump water in Africa. Norman’s grandfather built and patented dry cell batteries as far back as 1910.
Norman learned to ride at a young age on the uncluttered roads of Rhodesia. His first bikes were a BSA Bantam, a Greaves scrambler and a Ducati 250 Mach 1, which he raced. This racing bug took Norman to the Isle of Man TT in 1969. The following year found Norman working as mechanic for fellow Rhodesian and Manx winner Gordon Keith on a tour of the Continental racing circus. His talents were spotted by young Barry Sheene who offered him a job, but Norman took a job with Bruce McLaren Motor Racing in 1972. Norman spent the next three years learning his craft and honing his skills as chassis builder, mechanic and pit crew member. Norman did 3 years on the Indy team and in 1974 McLaren won the Indy 500 and the F1 championship. He was later involved with other motor racing projects including 3 stints at the Le Mans 24-hour race, twice as race planner and manager.
