Not The Cover of The Rolling Stone

[Jim Rich]

But my Norge and I made Motorcyclist Online.  I was camping in Colorado last summer and spent a day watching the Pike's Peak Hillclimb from Devil's Playground @13,000 feet.  The race was called late in the day on account of rain.  I met Tiffani, the author of the story, and her partner while waiting out the rain and sleet to be allowed to drive down the mountain.  She was on a Yamaha FZ-07 with large screen, metal saddlebags and off road tires, I though it was a cool bike.  My red Norge is in photo number 4, it does tend to draw the eye, I'm the dude standing behind it wearing the white helmet.

Jeez Jim, if I squint a bit it could be mine, identical visually. I notice you have removed the belly fairing and the other little bit of plastic that hooks on near that, I reckon it looks better without them. 'Took mine off immediately from new. How much work has she done ?

[Jim Rich]

Thanks Dusty, I was excited.  Been reading those magazines 30 years and finally saw a bike I liked 

Hey Huzo, the original faring pieces were removed early on when they cracked.  Guzzi (Todd Haven), gave me a new set but I just left them in the box.  Less worry that way, and like you, I like looking at the engine.  The bike has 35K memorable miles on it.

She must be a closet Guzzi Girl..

There were no screens or anything set up to show timing, so unless you wanted to pay $10 for WiFi (which is way too rich for my blood), you're completely in the dark about what’s happening
