More New Nortons

Apologies to the editor if this has already been mentioned........
I have just read in national press
that Norton in Derbyshire have received a government based loan. This will allow them to increase production to 1,000 bikes a year.
Still pretty small outfit but good news nevertheless.
I guess the purists will say the new bikes are not real Nortons, but like new Triumphs at least they are trying!
I saw a new one up close a couple of weeks ago & loved it. It would take a lottery win but I would definately buy 2 (£16K each) if I could!
