An interesting one hour programme on the Norton Factory at Donington and a review of their entry to this year's TT could be seen on ITV 4 last night (Tuesday). You can catch it again on ITV Player, search for TT 2014.

I guessed a few people might appreciate the pointer. I only caught the programme by accident, expecting to see a TT update I was pleased to hear the Norton latest. As you and I were at the Club AGM it was interesting to see the camera's view of the house and factory.
I was pleased to see Murray Walker speaking up for the new Norton venture, and the experience of Mick Grant and Cameron Donald being involved in the TT effort. It will be good to follow and support, whatever finish position they achieve. Well done Stuart for sticking your neck out and having a go!
It is a shame, but perhaps inevitable that the re-vamped Rotary engine is not being used. I wonder what might come of the Ap****ia engine if it is successful. Who would like to see it as a Norton road bike engine?

I watched it last night. Never been a fan of the newer Nortons and never been to the Isle of Man (something I hope to rectify before too long), but still enjoyed it and can see why the 961's appeal to so many people now, even though I wouldn't trade an old single for one.
Well worth a watch regardless of your area of interest in my opinion.

Thanks for posting this Norman, I hadn't noticed it was on but just watched it on catch up. An hour of TV well worth watching.
