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.

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