  2. Mind you about a year ago CCM were receiving similar levels of angst.
    But they appear to be delivering bikes now (unless this is another ‘published’ story)?
     
  3. What I don’t understand is why no-one who has paid a deposit and been fobbed off for ages and/or had phone calls requesting full payment, not been telling their story to the local rag and motorcycle journalists other then MCN. Whilst no-one wants to see Norton fold there is a story of importance here, especially when the plundered pension fund(s) are factored in. The fact that not a single news outlet is talking about this is rather strange:thinkingface:
     
  4. Its rather like the black out on the Gillet Jaunes. There were massive protests last weekend in France but you didn't see or hear anything on MSM...

  5. Or maybe we have all got the wrong end of the stick?
    As with many others, I Hope it works out.

    (But I still free a little....)

  8. I've just noticed I've been blocked from following Norton Motorcycles on twatter.
    I tried to re-follow, and am now totally blocked.
    What can you say :thinkingface:

  9. I'm still bestowed with the immense privilege of being allowed to follow them, for now.
    What kind of manufacturer locks their social media though?
    @Gee Jay - any sign of this email that will enlighten us all?
     
  10. Gizmo, sorry mate nothing so far.
     
  11. All I can think of is I commented on the NotNorton tweet about the accounts. Clearly didn't like my observations :yum
    I wonder if I will get the email :neutral:

  12. Can’t find any confirmation but apparently being reported on local news that they have gone into receivership?
     
  13. Didn't see that coming :bucktooth:

  14. Yes ITV news saying Norton Motorcycles has entered administration.
     
  15. Administrators have also been called into the Priest House Hotel, also based in Castle Donington, which is linked to the motorcycle business.
     
  16. Be interesting to see MCN offer their five penneth!
    Sad for the genuine guys that have entrusted their hard earned in hope of acquiring their dream.
