Stu ‘hiding his light under a bushel’.

Worth a watch, or more importantly a listen - max volume required!

Yeah, cheers, won best modern Norton 👀
If I had known about them wanting a noise-off, I would have made sure the baffles would have easily removed. Some lads from the Andover stand offered tools to get the baffles pulled out, but it was a risk for if something went wrong.....so she went in up against the older Nortons, in "quiet mode" 🙈😂

I just got around to watching this, and it’s definitely the best (as in no bullshit, and knows generally what he’s on about) and most honest review of the 961 to date in my opinion. I agree with him about the metal key fob, why do folks do that?

One thing that would really get my OCD though is the mismatched reservoirs.
 
For those whinging about Norton not releasing anything new this year🤣!

Fm FB (Cliff). Came up for sale on Marketplace briefly! Stu was gonna buy it for spares🤣! Brings a whole new meaning to ‘breaking’ the coffee table.

I think every Norton enthusiast should have one of these given pride of place in their living room - strangely the wife dissagrees!

Women. So unreasonable!:rolleyes:

The hammer came down at £570. I'm still tempted, but I ain't paying more than what he paid for it....instead of him trying to make a profit from a charity.
 
Agreed - just news, without any insight or context. We could speculate and we’d likely be wrong.

Not sure why they’d sub the team captain just before the game starts; there must be good reason. Interesting he’s staying with the company.


Interesting detail.

Other publications are wording it differently - so who knows.

TVS Motor Company's decision to move Dr. Robert Hentschel from CEO to a non-executive director role suggests a shift. Although this reassignment softens the PR impact on Hentschel, it may imply that TVS is realigning Norton’s direction due to dissatisfaction with recent progress. His "role" will be because they have a non-compete arrangement or a contractual obligation they signed. But in the meantime still waiting on the "super-premium" electrified tuk tuk

Yup, speculation! I guess it’s all we’ve got.

Maybe he just wasn't onboard with the ‘dual leadership’ approach, resulting from the hiring of Arnold. Or, something completely different! 😅
