“Ralf’s deep insights and guidance will be invaluable to the management team as TVS Motor Company embraces the future of mobility.”

Hogwash!  :(

Has no-one told them that what was once the "Stradivarius" of British motorcycle manufacturing has a cracked sound box?  ::)

After tonights announcments from the East they'd be better making spades.  Hold onto your hats, it is going to get drafty!

??????? ??????????!

Good health, Bill

but you cant really slate them till theyve got a track record. the new owner of norton is nothing to do with the fraudster who owned them when they were based at donnington, indeed they agreed to honour warranty and repair works hung over from the old norton which theyd no duty to do. also they honoured deposits paid to the old norton for bikes not delivered, again something they dont have to do. this will be a bit of a slow burner in that i dont think anything will be happening in a hurry as a lot of r+d will need to be sorted first. but you cant tar the new guys with the brush used by the old guys. cant we just wait and see ?

If we are still here to do the R&D and have some sort of "fuel" to run it on!  :-X

Good health to you John, Bill
