Yea, claiming compensation would have been a sticky wicket..his claim would be 'time not enjoying the bike I paid for'....difficult to quantify...or a claim for 'what might have happened' which seriously is not going to fly. Bloor's offer was more than reasonable...and this is a word that pops up regularly in law when determining what is ok and what is not.I seem to remember when Triumph introduced the T595, they had an issue of frames cracking and there was a recall. One guy was very vocal about it in MCN etc. and was eventually offered a replacement bike. He refused as he also wanted compensation apparently, so John Bloor personally retracted the offer and told him he's see him in court ( possibly not so politely). I don't know if it ever went further.
Maybe that's what Norton should do?
