  • Didn't see that coming, Stuart Garner always appeared like things were going so well on social media.

  • Really? I've seen exactly one in the wild. I think they've done well to last this long. Outside of niche areas like the Isle Of Man, there really wasn't much to their presence or much interest into what they were doing.
    I mean...I've heard more about modders like Yamaha's yard built (not the same I know) releasing new stuff than Norton did regarding existing bikes.

    I saw a Dominator once, which was really great to see, but it wasn't anything more special then heading down to The Bike Shed on any given Sunday.

    This isn't an insult to them, simply an observation that times move on and Norton didn't move fast enough.

  • Think I've only seen one in the wild too. Was a Domiracer on the back of a lorry glinting in the summer sun going up the Holloway Road. Presumably being delivered, or more likely recovered. Most memorable bike I've seen.

    What sets Norton apart from The Bike Shed creations for me personally is their history. You're probably right though about them not moving with the times but if it is a tax issue seems like accounting 101?
