RE: Fully British-built TT bike for Norton by 2017
I was there for Hislop's win, and saw the bike in the paddock, it was certainly not pretty; no mega bucks effort as has been said; just the intelligent efforts of a very under rated engineer, and a brilliant rider (Hislop) who was quite pleased to have ridden a norton as his Dad did.
Garner should sort out his money paying customers first (google it) before trying to do something like this.
Borley's bike will rock at the Classic TT, no doubt, and on a tiny budget in comparison.
I find it a little sad that nothing is ever said about Spondon engineering in all Garners press spiel, he talks about Norton's in house chassis, but its a fairly ancient Spondon beam that still houses the Aprilia V4. Spondon disappeared after being bought by Garner, and that was that, a couple of decades of amazing innovation swept under the mat!!
