Works for Mclaren. Suburu Washing Machine Company anyone (do they still fit the name plates?).

It's probably as good a business plan as trying to sell handmade bikes to people who can affort 15-grand or trying to convince Fireblade riders they should go rotary. To be honest though, who in the market for a monkey trolley will have a clue who Norton used to be? I think someone liked the logo.

It is a big of an ignominious end though.

I dunno.......i think the sprogg sport would go well in the garage next to the srx......and youngest grandson would be able to boast in later years that he first rode on a norton when he was 2 ;D

Yeah Oh yeah, I know somebody else who may be saying the thread title out loud too!

Did anyone notice the nursery layout named "Bramble and S....."?

its a logical progression,
 i spent more time pushing my 650ss than riding it, it'd have been a lot easier if they took the engine and box out.

Aye Andy230,

You know what they say about entertainment when cash is short, its cold and dark with long nights ??? Aye, you wait until this autumn, then you'll see their share price rise and a racing team appear! ;D Only way to keep it out of old 'Badger brows' hands.:-X

Delighted to read, that at least you are spanner twirling, not much up here I'm afraid. :-[

So shall away to prepare for the morrow and try and be less slothfull. Maybe a wee Edradour: http://www.edradour.co.uk/main3.html   ;D Slainte.

Bill.

In regards to underway, go Commando. Ho ho, nearly a Norton joke in there.....

Being an experienced parent with a bundle of children, I fail to understand why anyone would ever consider spending such a hideous amount of money on a pram. Ridiculous. All of my little darlings were turfed out of their buggies asap and made to walk whenever possible. I cringe when I see 5 year olds being wheeled to school, frames buckling, wheels squashed to funny angles for no other reason than pure lazyness on the child's behalf and convenience for the parent.
