Norton at the Bike Shed…

Fast Eddie · May 13, 2022

To be honest I’m kinda surprised they’re going as they seem to have so little to say / show, but they are, so perhaps a good chance to ask some questions…

I normally go to their shows as this is only a few miles from where I live, but I am Hungary that week. It does cater for a lot of trendy hipsters and not really my scene, but some of the bikes are good as you get close and can actually look at the engineering

This is good news - Norton has a couple of smokin‘ bikes to show (IMO) and are out there exposing themselves to the biking public so must have something to say you would think.

Anyone gonna go? Maybe the forum could ask some inciteful questions. Try to avoid putting Skinner into a headlock if he’s on the stand!

Cue jokes about Skinner being ‘on the stand’!

It's a good idea in principle but "the bike shed" FFS
Has to be just about the worse venue for that type of bike
The chances of any of that clientele buying a Norton are less than zero
Now if they are selling regalia IE beard oil ,
Checked shirts ,
Brown shoulder bags,
Turn up jeans etc etc then maybe it'd be worth it

In that case it’s perfect for them Baz as they haven’t got any bikes to sell… !

I agree.
But at some point they have to run out of answers to give folk asking how / when they can actually buy one…

That'll be like asking a politician some insightful questions, expecting a direct and informative reply lol
