Hi all,Did anyone find out what happened to the v4 Norton in the Isle Of Man?I know it didn't finish but wasn't sure why.I couldn't see anything in MCN or on the IOMTT website. Have I missed it?How do we think it is going to do in the Senior tomorrow?Does anyone have any insider information?David

Del Boy is marshalling at the I.O.M again this year, so perhaps he will have a bit of "inside info;" for us wink ,J.B.

I heard they are coming back in the electric bike class next year with a reliable washing machine motor. Goes really well but vibrates like buggery at high rpm..David

It's disappeared from Senior timing today after 2 laps, no mention of a crash so I guess it's broken

Hi DavidThe Norton SG3 v4 had ecu problem with the mapping as the rider tries to throttle on it lags by a second or two making it a pig to ride as for the friday senior I think it finished 17th.Pity Norton didn't give Brian a chance with his 700cc rotary I think they lost out there and us who would like a new steedRide safeAndy smiley
