Slight problem

Discussion in 'Australian Motorcycles' started by Zebee Johnstone, May 11, 2007.

  1. So, I have a problem with the Norge.

    It's as much of an attractor as the Baby Beemer was!

    Motorcyclists and non-motorcyclists, they stop, they look, they want
    to talk about it!

    THey tell me how good it looks and ask what it's like. The delay and
    stare times aren't as long as the Baby Beemer, and I haven't had
    anyone roll down the car window to talk about it yet, but it may only
    be a matter of time...

    - who reckons Guzzi have got it very right.

    Heh heh; when I picked up my spanking new Triumph in 1995 and rode it down
    to Phillip Island it was just a magnet for old buggers who wanted to chat
    with me about the old Tiger they wished they'd never sold!
    I figured it was just me paying-my-dues.....

  3. The FJR seems to record the same response. Go figure.

  5. The K100RT (red) was likewise.

    However, the GS450 never seemed to get that response - EVER!

    it might qualify as a Harley, based on the ride:repair ratio. :)

  8. I'm used to it, Goaty. You need to tell them, "Hear no Evo, See no Evo, Fear
    no Evo!"

    On the other hand, if someone commented on my "great vee-dub"...

    C'mon that'd be as bad a bagging some loser because he spewed in his
    tent once. ... Oh ... Hmmm ...
