Killing the bike that killed mine

Horton hatches the egg ? .

You could always sell the parts to someone who has interest and use the money to improve your Norton. Or buy beer. Or buy fuel/hotel/meals to attend a Harley party where they burn a Jap bike while hooting and hollering

Thats pretty fucking harsh......

Honda or any Jap bikes never killed Norton, it was just bad management and bad planning and expecting goverment pay outs that killed Norton, I had a choose to buy a new Honda 4 or a new Norton and I rode Honda dirt bikes before I decided in buying a new road bike and lucky I went for the Norton and I still own the same bike, who wants to ride a bike that is heavy, doesn't handle and is under powered, I know I made the right discistion.So don't blame other brands for the failure of Norton, but this is my opinion, be interesting to know how many Honda 4s are on the road now comparded to Nortons :roll:

Then there was the British Aircraft Industry . . . .
and the British Automotive Industry . . . .

Bloody Hippies , blasted pinko Commie unions . blankety T.V. . Chain them to the benches . Feed them Porridge .

Funny, that 'Horton' is the opposite of ol` Enzo Ferrari`s dictum: " When you buy a Ferrari, you pay for the engine - the rest you get for free".
Just as a matter of curiosity,- approx`- how much $ value was lost in that swap?
