Again, some need to remove their rose tinted goggles, ''he did more for Norton than any other owner since the 70's'' really, then why are TVS trying to sort the mess he left behind. Realistically, he did more damage to the brand than any other owner since the 70's. Before some slate other owners of Norton they should check their version of Norton history to see those who, since the 70's, were very instrumental in getting the brand where it is today.
If anyone thinks it was just pensioners money that went missing, think again, the government grants - yes, YOUR UK TAXPAYERS money will not been seen again, strange why some fail to see this as victimless crime when clearly the pensioners and UK taxpayers have all contributed in the tenure of Garner, one to think about. These same critics and supporters, even now of Garner, seem to behold the 961's they own, oh really, the same 961's built with fake parts and faults, he had no qualms selling you. - some champion of the brand they worship.
