“As it turns out, making a motorcycle company is a hard thing to do…..”

But buying an estate (dare we say castle grounds?) to build them at, apparently is.

Not that we as taxpayers in the US have any shortage revenue abuses to bitch about, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a UK taxpayer.

How long you wonder - only as long as there are customers.

Well, that couldn't have been much further off the mark ... Then again, it's been almost a decade since this bike was first shown with promise of production (in the US). The first Nortons in CA are finally being delivered as I type this. They are 100% sold, but I was invited to have a look ... Which I think I'll do.

Can't hurt to have a look, right?

TBH I feel the same way,,,thinking Guzzi,,,,,if only the Cafe racer were a 850-1000cc,,,,,,
