I will riding my Norge in the 2009 Iron Butt Rally. If you are unfamiliar with the Rally visit www.ironbutt.com. The Norge is my first Guzzi and so far it seems to be a pretty good bike (except for the fuel filter). The Iron Butt is a pretty intense rally and my concern is that there is a limited number of dealers in North America. Although I will be able to plan for tires, etc. I may need some additional help from the middle of nowhere. Is this the right group to seek a little help if needed?
