First ride for some time
« on: September 14, 2015, 06:50:10 AM »
After a few months of illness I felt up to taking my 2011 Norge for a ride earlier today.

It was a short run only 100km's or so, but it was great to be back on my old friend. I did not worry about flat tappets, non start, jerky throttle, or fuel gauge problems, I just enjoyed, the open road, sun, wind, smells and that certain sureness in the bends in the road that my Norge gives.

It is amazing how one can appreciate the simple things, that in the past I had taken for granted.

Thanks,

A couple of hours on the Norge is far better for the soul, than a couple of months in hospital!

It's been said that you never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists office.
I'd much rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
