Another depressing read.

So, basically, there’s nothing actually left that’s worth anybody buying ?!

Not quite true, I still have an unused seat

The BDO report is available on the London Gazette website for all to read, some big figures and suggestions that these are not the final figures.

So Norton UK does own 100% of Norton America LLC if that document is correct, so SG did not keep Norton America LLC separate. Hope that is correct.

Went rancid and I had to pour it down the drain... Raphi seemed to be doing ok last time I heard from him. Maybe he"ll pop up here.

Yes, Raphi is indeed doing very well. “Locked down under” in Kaikoura, South Island, NZ with my family. Since almost 20 days in Lockdown and waiting if we could continue travelling. There are many worse places (including home Switzerland) to be locked down for the moment. Happy Easter to everyone (here already over).

Kiwi meets Swiss!

and don’t forget folks, anyone comes near your bike, or you, nowadays, you can officially tell them to SOcially Distance off, if you see what I mean....

Is he still in the frame, that would ratchet up the price of a Norton if made within his Arch facility

Agreed Richard , bang on the money with that comment , don’t need another one just a steady stream of spares ,just wonder what’s going to happen next

He's got $360 Mil?
Damn, think how wealthy he'd be if he could actually act!

I know he can make a small fortune with Norton, just start with a big one.

He's ripping off my look

It's not about how well you can act, it's just that you get in enough movies. He's been in some big ones so there's opportunities to make some bucks.

Shit, you don’t need to be able to act to get rich...?

Where do I apply ...?!

The bad news for you is that you also have to be good looking.

That’s a shame as otherwise I seem perfectly qualified...

No acting skills and in need of income generating employment !

Do you think Garner can afford another tin of car polish?

Welshrugby · Apr 15, 2020

Another name change as well with the Norton MC to something else, maybe was forced to do that?

Maybe he's looking to put a small consortium together to buy out once its liquidated

TonyA · Apr 15, 2020

If it ends up with Keanu and ARCH then the price for the bike will be very expensive. Have you looked at the price of a ARCH motorcycle ? About $80 K and up . Maybe the Norton can be made for less but I don't see how ? The ARCH has a proven-brought in S&S engine .
