That can't be another picture of the new Norton, they are already out of business if you believe some of the people here.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

One is better than none! :mrgreen:

They don't blog about each customer they sell to. There could be hundreds more we don't know about.

So this is what I went to see on the weekend! Wow, one of the nicest bikes at the show. Too bad there was no one there to talk to, just a bunch of fliers on it. Kinda disappointing, but it fits like a glove!!!
