Re: Norton's are Racing again?
It's easy to be critical about someone whose got a dream.Mr Garner has a lot of support for this - just look at MCN forum for proof.The firm that makes his 961 engine has lots of experience race car engines so four cylinders from one of those and frame from Spondon. After all, its not rockit science...

Re: all quiet on the Donnington front

Makes me blush
I hear that Norton are lobbying the FIM for a new class in MotoGP for their latest product. Have a look at http://www.squiffles.co.uk. :shock:

Re: Norton racer
With a crash at Mallory and no-shows at Pembrey and Anglesy, whats happened to the Norton. :( \r\rGlad I didn't go to Donnington - another no show.

Cuckoo land

New rotary
Although I'm a newbie, I feel moved to write about recent comment on the NRV588. Its a brave attempt to get the Norton name back on the front pages of MCN again. However, look at this week's copy, you'll how Triumph are doing in Supersport this year and they've been in production for several years. ...
