Norton Deposit Info, It's Demise & It’s New Owners

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by John W, Oct 16, 2018.

  1. Why not just rock up at the front door of the factory and demand some answers? I know I would if I’d put a deposit down and had been waiting years for the bike and was getting the run around. They’d have to call the police to remove me and then I’d be making sure the press were covering the whole fracas.

  4. You see, us oldies would just turn him upside down in the carpark, to shake the cash from him. Not ask for answers.

    You yoofs, go softly softly and bleat about it on some current social media outlet/press that you are brainwashed to follow.

    But then again, you kids would've wanted a Norton on PCP.
     
  5. LOL, I was joshing with you FE, I’m a ‘yooof’ of 59 years young:D. What you propose is exactly what I was suggesting:upyeah:
     
  6. Nah, Kids think Nortons are only in museums. Perhaps they will turn out to be (mostly) right.

  8. I love listening to the young folk talking in this way, especially when they are white and adopt a fake West Indian accent, absolute f*cking w*nkers!

  9. I would love to adopt this approach and I would cheerfully take the long drive up there if I thought there was even the slightest chance of getting him to come out to the car park.
    Sadly, even if he was there (doubtful at the moment) I can't see him being persuaded to come "outside", even if you pretended to be holding a deposit that you wanted to put down, and he LOVES deposits.
