I think Stuart's got a good idea with Norton... keeping it small for now with direct factory sales on the home front. Norton's starting to generate excitement here in Canada with the appointment of a new Canadian distributor. I've been in contact with Peter Howes, President of Norton Motorcycles Canada Ltd. who seems pretty positive about the direction things might go with Norton. Peter had this to say... "Please don't expect to hear too much until late in November when I'll provide an update about shows, product availability and hopefully we will be close to launching our own website." Sounds like things are a ways off yet.
However, I hear the new Commando 961 SE is a pretty exciting bike and I do hope they make a go of it all. Hey, maybe I can get one before Jay Leno what with all my connections and stuff!!
