It's early winter and 2 1/2 years since this cud's been chewed.

So, I thought it about time to revive this thread :rolleyes:, so here is how I decided to settle the matter once and for all.

OK, for me, at least:   :wink:



No need thank me; I live to serve.  :laugh:

Regards from the top of Virginia,

Bill

Cool personalized plate Bill, so does that rhyme with orange then ... right?  :evil: :popcorn:

So ... Nor J then ? :laugh:

The Nor J was just recommended to become the national bird of the Great White North. I guess that makes Bill an honourary Canuck then, eh?

Here is a link to see how any word or words you can think of sound in Italian.  It will automatically say Moto Guzzi Norge if you wait for a couple of seconds.  Then you just erase the text and type in your own and hit say it.

In Texas, Jorge rides a Nor-hay.

Call it anything you want, except late for dinner.

You, my good sir, owe me some screen cleaner.

Keyboard, too.

Lateness.

He'd fit right in. I live in a town formerly called Berlin, and home of the second-largest Oktoberfest in the world.  :boozing: :boozing:

Listen to how Valentino Rossi says Jorge, as in Lorenzo.

Love Rossi, but "when in Rome, etc.," ... and I ain't.   :wink:

I'm taking mine to Nordkapp again next year, I'll ask when I get there @ 71 deg North, you'd reckon they'd know...

Yes, interesting and I am curious what they say.

I also envy you your trip and look forward to your trip report.

But, as Virginia won't let me title and tag my Norge in Norway, I care more about its pronunciation in Winchester than in Honningsvåg!
