Norton - TT and NW200

Post by duke63 »

Had to put the Aprilia engine back in McGuinness race bike as organisers would not allow the Norton engine as it’s 1200cc

That's a bit last minute. Hopefully Norton have enough Aprilla engines and spares.

Really hope John lands a win this year. What a special comeback that would be.

Its also a bit stupid - there are rules for TT entry and if they didnt read them thats daft.

Hopefully they get to the TT.

Didn't you suggest rumours of them going bust a few months back Duke ?

I really hope for John McGuiness's sake they get there with a competitive bike.
