Hello, I am new here and to the world of Guzzista. I have purchased a new/leftover 2008 MG Norge 1200. The engine seems to be pulling harder the more miles I get on it. It is different, but I like the exclusivity, the reputation for high miles, and the looks it gets. The first bit of fun was at the filling station when two older gentlemen pulled up on Harleys. When I came out of the store they were looking over my bike and one of them asked me 'what's wrong with the swingarm, its missing one side'. I explained it to them when the guy then asked me, "You trust your life with a set up like that?" I just looked at all of cars nearby and said, "Yeah, I guess so." The next bit of fun was when I exited a restaurant and another Harley rider and his wife were looking at it. I introduced myself and we started talking. He asked me what do they (Moto Guzzi) sound like? I couldn't help myself, "You know how the Harley has that Potato, Potato sound? Well the Guzzi sounds like Spaghetti, Spaghetti." :silly: He didn't laugh. I have a Harley and like it, but the Guzzi is something different. I will need much education and hope to find some of that here without being too much of a pest. I am interested in some of Todd's power modifications, but I do not want the bike to get louder. I have a Harley for that. What would you recommend?
