What's the betting this won't be mentioned in MCN at all..?
Amazingly it is on MCN’s website front page! I have feeling this is going to turn very messy before it grinds to an inevitable end! ETA: in general it doesn't seem to be a sustainable business model unless the Atlas models show significant ROI over the next year or so, does it?

Norton’s money supply seems to going in ever decreasing circles as they try to keep up the image they are a major player. I hope I’m wrong but when the musical chairs stop someone is going end up very out of pocket.

Try Bike’s six page free advert feature(suck up fest) for Superbike factory. You get the impression Bauer media are desperate not to upset anyone who might spend money on advertising!

Do we think the purported single million pound investor knew that they needed tax break money to pay taxes (effectively, or similar)?Norton’s money supply seems to going in ever decreasing circles as they try to keep up the image they are a major player.

A chinese deal I like. Like the saudis they should spend big to try and whitewash their horrible inhuman behaviour. and they get zero in the way of technology or secrets as its just a nostalgia operation.
Like westerners are any better! Boeing "built" a brick for plane, hired 5-dollar "engineers" somewhere in Pakistani bush to write the code that literally kept that brick in the air, hid all the problems from the customers (except for internal emails where people with guilty conscience and still some integrity left tried unsuccessfully to bring the problems up to management/board)
Then released the plane with the blessing of a captured "regulator" FAA....
300 people dead, the ones with guilty conscience will be fired (to teach the rest to keep their mouths shut when management/board rakes in millions through share buybacks while cutting "costs" in the engine room)...
And the CEO gets to leave with USD 62 million get-out-of-jail-golden-parachute.
Yeah, whitewash....

Interesting that McPint is going public like that...
They’ve wheeled out the Nomad demonstrator for a day at Krazyhorse on social media. It must well over a year since they announced those models. A step forward or a case of “look squirrel” to distract from the recent bad press?

Not saying that they don't deserve criticism, but that's not what happened at Boeing at all.Boeing "built" a brick for plane, hired 5-dollar "engineers" somewhere in Pakistani bush to write the code that literally kept that brick in the air, hid all the problems from the customers (except for internal emails where people with guilty conscience and still some integrity left tried unsuccessfully to bring the problems up to management/board)

Feel a bit sorry for Mcguinness. He ended his long association with Honda I can only imagine because he is involved in some sort of legal action regarding his crash on their dodgy fireblade.
And he ends up drinking the norton kool aid.
That Garner must be really clever and I can still see the kawasakis painted up in norton jps livery and raced as nortons.

There's something distasteful about those links. Norton is clearly in trouble. Facts are fine, but poking fun at them just isn't on.
Unless you're one of the hundreds of customers who've paid deposits for thin air? Or you're one of those silly enough to 'invest'? Or your pension fund has been spent by him?
It's always a long shot with Norton.jason61c said:

? I've no problem with the facts being aired. I've posted up links myself, but the sort of distasteful "jokes" on those links aren't helping any of the people you mention. Unless you know better?
