Time for Another Moto Guzzi

[Scott of the Sahara]

My 08 Norge 2v has 38,000 miles on it and I am not tired of it at all. I put a semi loud pipe on it last year after a discussion about Electric bikes came up.
The 3 things that make moto riding enjoyable:
#1 Sound. Not loud but the rumble of the exhaust
#2 Shifting gears and feeling the bike accelerate. Finding the right gear for the section of road you are on. Downshifting for a corner.
#3 The Vibration. Much like the sound but the feel of the bike. My Moto Guzzi is not silky smooth, it has some character.

Thanks, everyone! And thank you, Bulldog9!

Looking forward to it! It should arrive by the end of this month.  When it does, the RT goes on the chopping block!

I will probably add another couple thousand miles to the RT in the next couple of weeks. It is a great bike, but it does not stir my soul the way the Norge does. By the way, this will be my third Norge!

I got my 14 Norge from Hamlin. He knows how to massage them for maximum effect.
Be SURE to service the clutch and rear brake fluid on a regular basis. The bodywork traps heat.  I change mine at his shop every year.  While I'm there I service the front fluid, too.  I see lots of rain.

Some pics from Jim Hamlin just before the shippers loaded up the bike:

I think I may need to swap out the chrome mirrors and stems for the black ones that came with my two 2014 Norges...

Incoming from Jim Hamlin. Shipping tomorrow!

WAIT - a White Norge?

Peaking out of the corner in this shot perhaps?

^ I think it is.

And wow! What a beautiful red Griso!

I've seen that white Norge plenty of times.  It's nice-you'll love it.
