Thats sad that "the Hall" couldnt live up to the myth.......... IMO, the smarter people (CNW, AN, Olbrits etc) have their markets clearly define and will live on.. And thankyou to all the part suppliers of "old" bikes..

Two bikes being half built... I assume that's why you put the word 'factory' in brackets?!

Hardly what you call a factory is it... most old bike nutters like us have more going on in our sheds than that !!

Norton have been going through their fair share of company secretaries since it's inception and mr Garner has flipped FI into receivership 2012 and all assets apparently transferred to another company allegedly. And with a net worth of almost -2 million sterling and bikes hardly flying out the door to fill firm orders. But two bikes for sale off the shelf at a uk dealer( not on pre order) says something rotten in the state of Norton.

Simon Skinner has been director for nearly twelve months and with his background should we expect the arrival of the Black Knight on a Bonnie?
