I I bet the numbers sold havnt been anything special since, and the importers model of so few dealers has played into the grey importers plate.

who would take it on? SXS did exactly the right things, invested time and money got a good rider(S) had a proper factory unit and publicised and promoted the brand. Then for whatever reasons were unable to carry on like this. Why would anyone else try?

Please dont buy a bike "cos you like the noise it makes"

i couldnt ever get it to grip once it went on mud......

...and one in new zealand https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=882366258453138&set=a.455366971153071.101009.100000393151776&type=1&theater

The rev 3 does not achieve a parabolic compression curve its impossible with internal valving. However good the valving its no different to a very good valved pair of twinshocks. If the valving could achieve the same effect a) beta would not have fitted the evo with one or every manufacturer would follow this.

Not the only downside, as stated higher up, can rub on boot, vulnerable in crash. Dog bones are a pain to clean and grease but ups and downs for both, or else all makes would follow suit? Dog bone bearing maintenance probably matters more in uk than Spain

Beta changed back to a linkage for good reason I'm sure. A single shock with no linkage is the same as a twinshock in technology?

so its good value. err no its not? WTF are you on?

Perhaps if you went and found out for yourself instead of expecting others to do it you may get the answer.

Missing Components = cash flow? How jtg survive (and other brands) is beyond me.

went to one after a gasser but in the end it wasnt for me. You really need to try one for a good while to be sure, on different terrain also. Greatest bike between sections definately.

...but probably more popular than a jtg?

Guess steve had tried all he could, I do know he pretty much always collected the bikes from spain which with hindsight probably meant that the writing was on the wall? If he has tried and tried, and it certainly looks like that from the outside, even if its as good as telecat says then only a fool would try. James gas gas 249 loves the marque and has the spanish connection and wont do it so I guess its not going to happen any time soon. As stated above if trs get making bikes then Steves the man? Websites ready anyway.............

..and what the f has this to do with the thread? Where is the anti b0ll0cks button? The acu do a great job with the VOLUNTEERS that run our sport for our benefit. Its not perfect but which volunteer organisation is? Entry fees are incredibly good value and I challenge any one to state otherwise. (with reasons of course!)

As this is completely at odds with dbf's experience, and a pal that couldnt get spares where is the truth? Will that be ever told.........

Just wait till john Collins can be bothered to reply............the truth will out. PLease please please go autograssing. ACU black hole? 60 k on a tractor. Fascinating. Mike rapleys got time to waste on you.

..and I will reply to bullsh!!t anecdotal heresay and evidence as frequently. And I note with your apparent conviction you absolutely refuse to enter into any kind of wager cos maybe deep down you know youre wrong? Lucky? Nah. Typical - yes

I know of several Normandalre riders who have had failures on other makes, whats that proove? The quantity and quality of Normandale riders cant all be wrong and you right surely? Is that what youre saying? Name these riders and the age of their bikes? When was this?

£50 for a family of four, sounds good value. https://www.altontowers.com/book-my-trip/tickets/ £127 here

I think most spares are available for most makes, just surprised vital parts arent for jtg.

How long before mine breaks from new then? lets have a bet on that??? As sure as you are that day follows night are you saying 100% of all gassers will fail? Everyone on here knows you talk crap why do you feel you have to repeat it, almost daily?

Really? So if we reduced entry fees to say a flat £5 everywhere for every event and at the end of the year will there be an increase in entries bikes sold or parts shifted? OOOOOOHHHH a flying pig too? Like i say disappear and try something else.................it aint expensive whatever you say.

You'll spend even less if theyre not available............

Reckon thats a 49 50 cadillac, or rather a comerfords version, "i took one piece at a time" type bike?
