Joined the ranks of Moto Guzzi

[mikebr]

Just came back from NZ, had motorcycle syndrome from Canada damn weather, lots of snow and being a Kiwi know all the great roads where I have ridden on like falling in love again.
The roads are like BC roads eg. 3A and Jasper to Banff with more corners but you can ride them most of the year so had to ride again on this trip.

So the opportunity arose to hire a motorcycle looking at other motorcycles but Moto Guzzi stood out just wanted to try one.
Hired a Moto Guzzi from Dave Gale from Guzzi Gander for 7 days this guy knows his Moto Guzzis, great guy.
My choice was a Moto Guzzi Norge but after seeing his collection man...lol. 13 Guzzis and his sports Guzzi  It just a hobby....wish I could afford that hobby  .

First day on the Norge in some great weather and some great winding roads overtaking where you shouldn't, see some flashing lights in the distance coming fast on me...so be warned they know how to drive...lol.. no ticket.

Loved the Norge so ordered one from Moto International and now have to wait for the snow to melt....Life sucks..lol

Welcome to the Guzzi club!   When you get it i would love to see some pictures. I think the Norge is a beautiful bike.

Another one !

Sweet. What year and colour did you get Mike?  You will have to stop by here on your way home !

Guzzi is obviously climbing the ladder quickly to a top spot in the popular bike niche. Only hope I can get in on one before the prices climb. And, no. I'm not coming onboard to keep up with the Jones. I'm ready for a newer and bigger dual-sport to take me comfortably a long, long way. And when I came upon pics and info on the NTX, I just had to yell "Ya baby!" I mean, imagine putting out a bike completely farkled at one substantially lower price!(Lower than you know who.) They must be crazy. Ya, crazy like a FOX!

 Expect me Friday or Sat to collect on that beer you promised

[bubba zanetti]

Friday, I am home after work but Saturday I am have a workshop to do till 4. But beer is on me after that. You stayin at the lake ?

Oh .. You still need to work on your social skills.  "collect on the beer you promise" Jeez. Next thing you'll be wearin a Sparwood dinner jacket.  Ok, I know in the high ROCKY mountains of British Columbia, where you live (unlike the modest lady bumps or hills out here ) that this all passes as male bonding. But I am on a Norge now and we will drink Espesso, have or Beer in stylish glasses and be polite. Capiche, ... il mi amico ?

 Non capiche!  I will not be assimilated, I fully expect all MG owners to become much more reasonable and do things my way

I won't get too worried about this Guzzi trend until someone turns up with a Quota....you know, the MG version of the GS.
