So if I get the jist of this Flounced flouncing, a comment about McPint to a similar comment about Nigel with pictures of his bikes and he flounced off !!!.. Well all I'll say on the matter is I liked Nigel's pictures and his knowledge on analness to correct, and never take others comments personally just accept they differ opinion to you, do not reply it will all be forgotten by the next post or thread !!!! Now can we all play nicely now and back to piss take formality..
Just a thought.... Nigel isn’t annoyed/left the forum. Is on a break in Qatar and test riding the new Blade, won in a competition for being the most loyal customer to the brand for 40 years? Decided not to say anything so it’s a big surprise for us all? conspiracy theory, or real life?!
Joking aren't you, Honda won't even answer the phone to him anymore, not likely to invite him on a launch! I was watching some launch videos today...what a life those journalists have.
Norton has gone bust by the way....https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-51303905
A mate put a deposit on both the carbon and chrome finish about 3 years ago when they were revealed, now has a V4s and its feckin reliable aswell
Be nice to see John Bloor buy it and run it properly! Garner has always come across like someone who runs close to the wind! Pity for the employees and customers who’ve laid down personal money against new bikes in the pipeline. Sounds like McG had an inkling?
Apparently a story on itv news at 10 regarding norton/Stuart garner. If anyone watches it let me know. I’ll be snoozing by then!
Reading about him he seems a bit of a shit and lots of question marks over pensions and investment pots mismanaged!
Oh well, there goes my factory tour I'd planned for a birthday weekend treat. I wonder if the administrators will let me take a look at what's on offer.. I quite fancy a V4RR, even if I have to build it myself. Sad day as far as I'm concerned. What happened to the Boris Brexit Bounce?
What, a greedy owner / chief exec - now there's a surprise. Anyone fancy starting a crowd funded Norton revival - I'm happy to be owner / chief exec - trust me, I'll be good, honestly...!
I had a sit on and a look around one of these yesterday, really nice bit of kit, sold the same day. They've just told me they've got another one coming in, I could have been tempted if I'd not just bought the Speed.
Got any pics of your Speedy? What colour did you go for? I came so close to getting one a couple of years ago.
Pick it up on Friday, I'll stick some up when I get it. I went for Crystal White for a change, as my Blade was matt black and so is the Street. I wasn't initially keen on the new black/fluro, but it's grown on me so the choice was a bit 50/50 in the end.
I think you've done the right thing. The white is much classier in my opinion. I preferred it the year before when it was just white though with no stickers. Still waiting to hear if there's going to be an 1160 Speed Triple next year.
