It can only be a positive move after the stuart garner circus. I still lust after a rotary, although i can’t see Norton revisiting that avenue. There’s always mr Crighton continuing down that route though. Good luck to TVS, i think they’ll do well with the Norton brand. Plenty of expertise and deep pockets.

Good news for those who had already paid for bikes and didn't get them.

Garner was a hustler and chancer ,, TVS are serious business people and engineers with a big backup , I wish them well

No mention of whether the taxpayer foots the bill for what happened or if former Spondon employees still lose their pensions.
