Norton is back?

At least to all of us who rode them in our teens and twenties, and we were the youg guns then.

"The mere mention of the name Norton brings a glint to the eye of many an old man." :lol: :lol:[/quote]


28 years old with lots of glint but no wrinkles!!

George Peddie (quoted in the article) put Andy Mcfarlane (BBC reporter) on to me, I supplied him with my take on it, luckily he jeft most of it out. I have though kept the front page from MCN heralding Norton's return because the cynic in me tells me I can pair it up with the failure headline!

Hope I'm wrong but there are few people out there with deep enough pockets and enough commitment :evil: to do this properly

why would anyone buy an old Norton or new/old Norton; certainly not because they are trouble free, smooth running, blindingly fast or have the latest technology. You can get all of those things from the newest Japanese bikes.

All of the above things are true. The only thing missing is soul. My refrigerator performs flawlessly and efficiently but there's no emotional attachment. (Maybe if it did 120 miles an hour????).
