I was starting to think Bill was pulling our legs about a red Norge, but they apparently do exist:

I'd love to see pics, too, and I'll post 'em as soon as I get 'em.

 

The dealer expects it in tomorrow, and will post pics of uncrating, etc. I can't wait, and assure you that I'll post like a proud papa offers baby pics

 

I'll also do a ride report with pics on return. Hoping to have the first US Norge rally with Carl while out there.

I've seen a red one at the GMG in Mandello. Best looking Norge around. It stands out from the BMW / FJR crowd more. Good choice and congrats!

That would be great Bill, but I'm 497 miles to the north and although I'll be coming down that way just after Christmas, it will be in the car with family. Let's plan a Norge rally for sometime next year.

the red one looks way nicer to me, more Guzzi looking in red.

I want one

I want to know if they are going to make them in black?

Hmmmmmm. Funny how I forget about those distances out there.

 

I think the N3, N2N, whatever next year is a GREAT idea. As soon as you want to pick dates, let "us" (whoever that is, a growing group it seems) know so we save the dates.

 

BTW, I sent you an e/m. If you didn't get it, I may have a bad address, as I don't always get undeliverable notices.

 

Regards,

Silver only for North America. Of course there are 10 reds for the USA and I have stirred the pot at the local shop so now the Canadian importer wants to know when the Canadian reds will arrive. I suspect Tommy Chong may have some info on that. He is a Canadian!

 

I am really surprised that you Americans will let any reds in at all! Along the same train of thought I cannot understand why they are not all reds coming to Canada!

Jim,

We are only letting them in to do the jobs the silver Norges can't, or won't, do.

 

The red looks a lot like this:

 

 

We should have a bike to hang them on at Noon tomorrow.

[callison]

Todd, you better get a bike under that bag soon. It looks a little forlorn just sitting there all dressed up with no place to go and no way to get there!

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

I'm going to email this to someone who has a huge down payment - only for a red Norge. I am proud to stir the pot on this one!

Hey Jim,

Send em this:

 

Ohhh dude. This is really gonna get things going.

 

The local shop called head office in Toronto and the fellow there is in the big apple today and hopefully will ask for at least one to come north of the border!!

 

By the way, that bike looks awesome!!!

 

Thank you.

Jim

Looks like they "unpainted" the engine. Good call- I'd like to see more of it (the engine, that is).

 

Right on, Todd- I'm glad to see these pictures and read that people are getting Guzzi's!

Bill, that's a great Christmas present you bought for yourself, congratulations.
