Skeeve Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Go here and vote for your favorite in each category. Pay special attention to category #9 "Best new in 2006 motorcycle:" the correct answer is in the middle, #3, Moto Guzzi Norge. Let's face it: when was the last time a Moto Guzzi was even considered for participation in a "best of" poll that wasn't being run by a Moto Guzzi brand-oriented site [such as this one?] As highly as I regard the Buell Ulysses, I had to throw my vote at the Norge: if Guzzi wins some added brand recognition, it may mean that people may actually stop asking "Is that some kind of Harley?" - !!! - the ramifications are intense! PS: not to tell you how to vote or anything, but I'd also suggest the best motorcycle show is EICMA, concept bike is the Moto Morini, and blogger is Wendy Moon... Ride on!

Admin Jaap Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 A dutch bike mag compared the Norge with the Beemer tourer. The Norge came up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi jon Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well if you're going to take the poll, be sure to vote for Alice Sexton, Ed Milich's (guzzitech ed) main squeeze, she's fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well if you're going to take the poll, be sure to vote for Alice Sexton, Ed Milich's (guzzitech ed) main squeeze, she's fantastic If?IF?!? - everyone here on v11LM must take the poll! Norge! Norge! Norge! Come on! We can put Guzzi on the map! [At least, this ridiculously tiny little web-based portion of it! ] As for my other suggestions, they're just that: suggestions. I know Wendy via my LABikers connexion & long-standing subscription to MCN [the American MCN, not the sad Brit bike-rag...]; have no idea who Alice Sexton is nor about her connexion to Ed Milich, so regardless of who you choose to vote for, I strongly believe a little time on the part of everyone here at MCN could make a positive difference in the overall perception of Moto Guzzi by others if the Norge takes top honors in its category.

docc Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well, ok, I voted. But like so many democratic processes, I'm not sure what I voted on. Moto Guzzi will always come out ahead of BMW or KTM and the redhead looked better to me than the 70 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
