Shit no! Block the page until you accept. F@ck dat shit! As for Norton, should we set up a gofundme page?
It sounds like it’s a credit they’re further owed from their government. Once they receive it, the tax liability is to be paid. They’ve already paid the previous balance of that tax, once they received their previous credit. Seems like an overreaction, to me.
Norton hasn’t been healthy since 1974. It’s just sad that the Marque can’t get going but they asking crazy high prices for their machines....
They've never really set themselves up for success, they just diddle around with their 50 year old designs that take tons of hours to hand build. This billionaire will give up, and another will step in. Or maybe Tata motors will add them to their once-failed British brand portfolio.
The latest were new designs I thought? They look similar but from what I saw they are modern. The dude in Oregon or Colorado was the outfit basically updating the old stuff if I remember correctly.
Kenny Dreer originally modified 1970s vintage Commandos into much better machines He later bought the Norton name and developed the all new 961. He had a running prototype, which I've seen many times, but his financial backer bailed before production. The British group revived that bike and started selling them. A friend has one, and it spends months in the shop. This is just a financial thing between various British beauracracies
The bunch in charge now seem to be all style and no substance, I have a feeling the whole thing is a bit shady.
They keep announcing really cool supersport bikes. Not sure any of them are actually in production. The V4, the Ultralight...
Yes, they eventually put their own v4 in it. McGuinness rode for them. It sucked. This might explain why McGuinness has been on social media looking for a ride in 2020. I think that relationship soured. Not sure they paid him?
They also bought Spondon and if the stories are to be believed they laid everyone off and then destroyed all the tooling, jigs and spares that came with the sale. Seems the name was the only thing of interest to them.
Ouch. Norton – Was it a fraud from the start? https://www.superbike.co.uk/article...bWJNWATUM_VKkrWGW3XClDU5Ag_2kasmuWzk97RrP4Fe4
there's a guy on the V4 society FB group who brought his Norton in for some paint related service items (into the factory) and had his bike stripped and parts put on another customer's bike. the video shows him cussing and pushing the remainder of his bike out of there and getting it loaded onto a truck. he's currently suing them.
