He needs to go to jail

What a suprise....

[duke63]

Not surprising. Lots of empty promises but bo business acumen at all.

Hopefully all the creditors will get their money back and the hall will be sold off to pay them

[Blade]

Totally agree Duke and will add I hope big John Mc gets paid too.

Poor sods are going to lose all their pensions i suspect

[duke63]

If he has done that, he is in deep shit.

All that money and barely a finished bike to show for it..

Easy to live a lavish lifestyle on other peoples money

If he has been spunking millions on a Jet set lifestyle and bleeding a good business dry, I hope someone gives him his just deserves.

Allegedly people who have laid down the full price for their Norton have been turning up at Donington Hall, only to be confronted by a gang of heavies.

He had security at the NEC bike show

[Rossgo]

This is awful news. Poor employees and what a shit show it be for anyone who has bought one of these bikes.

Reports are that ITV and Guardian had been preparing a report on Norton and their financial dealings for some months but the bank pulled the plug before they issued it.

It’s a shame as I really liked the bikes they were producing or attempting to produce. Had the potential to be a great company but badly managed.

You’d think the contract for engines in Asia would’ve been a good backbone of income if the rest was managed well.

[C00kiemonster]

Check this out. According to the person concerned his V4 went in for warranty work (ie he owned the bike and it had been finished and he'd been riding it).

He managed to get it back - stripped for parts for other bikes sold!

Awful - i'd be even more gutted.

[duke63]

Theft, pure and simple.

There needs to be an arrest made here.

[C00kiemonster]

Just done a bit more digging - apparently this happened to 7 people.

[kiwikrasher]

That’s unfathomable!! Surely that’s a criminal offence?

[duke63]

There were other Twitter links I saw where there were rumours of artworks being removed and hidden from the Hall.

[Kwacky]

This is appalling. I hope the police get involved.
