Default Re: RIP Norton?

I know a dealer that was a Norton dealer, 4 attempts to collect customer bikes (not ready everytime). Confirmed by Norton that will be ready on X, sent a driver down paid the money due.
Phone call, won't be ready for another week (driver is literally outside).
Order cancelled and the 100k transaction reversed by the bank and Norton td to shove it.

This was in the early days.

Garner burned a engine builder in the early days of production too
