You might think some other clever, motivated employee would pick up and keep the customers engaged.
My guess is management is not allowing that.
My feelings towards TVS Norton echos Clives. At the recent MCN London show I spoke with a lady on the Norton stand (wish I'd got her name!!) who was responsible for their events. She hadn't engaged with Access Norton or the 961 facebook group but was working with the Norton Owners Club which was encouraging.
Let's hope so !
First I've heard of them working with the Norton Owners Club....certainly made zero contact with me
Well they certainly have lots of shiny new toys in their playpen.....
Liking the analogy BT
- I think they are probably at the crawling stage, and most definitely experiencing growing pains! A few years away from standing on their own two feet, that’s for sure.
To carry on the analogy I think they are bouncing away quite happily supported in their TVS baby bouncer, being admired by their parents with no real need to support themselves...Liking the analogy BT
Let’s hope they get the opportunity to enter the race.
I suspect the absolute opposite to be the case Clive. I think the Norton leadership team will be acutely aware of the scope of funding they have received, timelines evident and outcomes expected (by TVS).
Hi Stu, She did tell me a name but I can't remember it. Reckon I'll write to Norton and see if I can put some flesh on the bones. The lady I spoke to was quite open and engaging about being involved with owners and working with the NOC, I wonder if that will be repeated via email?First I've heard of them working with the Norton Owners Club....certainly made zero contact with me
we shall see!!!
I'm the NOC 961 tech advisor....but Norton won't want to talk to me directly, mainly because of just a couple of people that have carried over from Donington. It's a shame really, as I'm clearly a big fan of the brand (as an example, Ive just paid out over £800 for a professional family set of photographs....in them I'm wearing a Norton sweater, as I see Norton as being a huge part of my families life now)...and would have gladly sat down and gone through all the issues that I've come up against with the 961's during my time working for Norton and also working for myself. The doors still open if they can brush that chip off their shoulder....but I won't leave it open forever, as its cold outHi Stu, She did tell me a name but I can't remember it.

Hey Simon, say hello to Brian G. for me. In around 2000, Brian and I rode to AMA vintage motorcycle days together. I was riding my 72 Commando Combat and we traded bikes during that ride. As I recall, his dad was a dealer for Norton back in the 1970s. I will be riding the same bike this year at the Barber festival. Best, Michael M.Hi everyone,
Just a quick post to introduce myself, and help explain my intentions here on Access Norton.
My name is Simon Marshall and I am one, of the small team, of Design Engineers here at the Norton Factory at Donington Hall, UK. I’ve been with the company since early 2012. There is a lot of positivity about the brand and the bikes here on the forum, which is great to see, but there is also some miss-information floating around. My intention here is to give an official factory response to some of the threads on the forum and help make sure the correct info is available to those who need it / want to listen to it.
Just a heads up however, I’m only able to help out with 961 Commando and Dominator models that have been built here at the UK factory since 2010, so please don’t ask me anything about sourcing parts for your 1955 Norton, I wouldn't even know where to start !
You’re late to the game mate. Like really late.
