[QUOTE="David Wardingley, post: 127375, member: 4511"] Hello Rob, I think I am better qualified to make a judgement on your dilemma as to whether to purchase a Norvin or not. I have recently taken delivery of a JMC Norvin and my experience is thus. On retirement I decided to order a Norvin from John Mossey (JMC) . I paid a hefty deposit followed by two other instalments as requested. The build time is 6months but I hadn’t anticipated that that just over 18months were required to obtain the parts( naive of me I know) it took just over two years to get the bike which was delivered by John himself. Unfortunately I couldn’t start the bike although John did quite easily. The starter failed shortly after, Burnt out along with the wires to the battery. John did come back to fix the problem which is a distance of over 130 miles. However I still felt the starter was getting very hot on a brief press of the button. I contacted John to say I wasn’t happy with the performance of the starter so he duly returned and took the bike away for one week and when it it returned it was cured of the malady ( two faulty starter motors). I have now done 111 miles and it is very good, handles like a dream, and goes very well. The Norvin has sprung an oil leak from a top union to the head which is a copper washer . I haven’t even bothered to report the problem as I will fix it myself with a spanner. So overall would I buy another.? Yes I would, would I buy from John? Yes I would, just be prepared for a bit of a wait!!!!! I hope you find this useful. One thing I had to do was register the bike myself which was tedious and in the end I couldn’t do it without the help of John so if you order get that in the contract as I feel the bike should have come registered in the first place.
