You won't see him in this jersey anymore

I might be able to bring you a picture of Guzzis wind tunnel, but I fear I'll be banned from the forum if I do. Everybody is, theoretically, a wind tunnel :whistle:

Think it's been at the Mandello factory since the 1950's, at least.

 

Got these pics from Google images: http://www.motorcyclemisadventures.com/ita...nd_tunnel_1.jpg & http://www.motorcyclemisadventures.com/ita...nd_tunnel_3.jpg

WHY OH WHY can't Motto Guzzi design mirrors that aren't FUGLY???

 

Those 1980's mirrors on the Norge just look BAD.

Bad? They're frickin' BELLO, man! No stooopid mirrors molded into the fairing to stick way out & snag on SUV mirrors when lane splitting. Nice & oval too, not like the d@mn "Mickey Rat's Ears" round mirrors like on my Suzuki SV650! :D

 

& the best part about'em, is that being regular unscrew-from-the-lever-base mirrors is that you can swap'em out for whatever mirror floats yer boat! Or even just pull'em off completely & go to bar-end mirrors. Absolutely brilliant of Guzzi to go this route...

 

The pix on the MaxMoto site also reveal another bit of Guzzi design brilliance: the windshield is just an oval, compound curved pane that's mounted from the middle, not the edges! So they built-in the anti-buffetting bleed air right from the start; no having to buy Laminar Lips & such just to keep the "bubble" from rattling your helmet.

 

I'm telling you, somebody was thinking. They did a great job of covering up the Brevona's tank-ugliness with that fairing too...

 

I hope they sell boatloads.

 

Ride on!

:mg:

....from the 80's!

This guy is still alive?

You're surprised, at this old boy? Perhaps it was the 1880's?
