Cool! The more the merrier:) . What do they mean by "propriatory"(sp?) motor? I hope it doesn't mean they're going with the S&S like Indian did in the beginning!

I doubt it.. I think that they meant proprietary in the context of - it is a brand new motor exclusive to Norton. Sort of like Victory's motors only being on a Victory bike..

I think what caught my eye was a former Polaris Honcho in the top operating group of the new company.
