To my eye as well. Thank you very much.
I'm sitting in the hotel in Goodland, Kansas, having picked up this incredible motorcycke yesterday.
Somebody PINCH me!!!
Photos DO NOT do justice to this motorcycle at all. She is truly a masterpiece and in exceptional condition.
I had the unbelievable opportunity to compare my motorcycle to the very one that I tried to buy on BAT - Bring a Trailer, and OMG am I THRILLED that I let the other guy buy that one!
Although that motorcycle was nice, it was not even in the same league as mine.
i'm not talking cosmetically, which side by side, mine just slaughtered the other 1952 (think, 99 points vs. 90 points), but all of the controls on mine are butter-smooth in function and operation while the other one, they were noticeably much rougher even though they had been completely renewed.
These motorcycles do not have odometers but it was evident to the seller Mark and I both, that mine had SUBSTANTIALLY way less mileage and use in the last 72 years than that other one.
I see clearly why Mark had this particular motorcycle as his personal mount. She is as exceptional as they come. I have never seen anything that compares to this one, not even in the factory museum.
I will take some really nice pictures upon arriving home.
Mark Norris really went over and above anything I could've hoped for.
He wanted to be sure everything was perfect so he took her out on a 10+ miles shakedown cruise, and then brought her back to his garage and went over every nut and bolt, front to back. He only needed to adjust 2 on the whole bike which he removed and treated with a dab of thread locker and re-tightened.
He also rejetted the carburetor for my altitude in Ohio (800 ft) from the jetting he used living and riding at the base of Pike's Peak. (6100 ft).
The love Mark has for his motorcycles is evident in everything I saw and experienced about the man. He is a passionate Guzzisti for sure and an accomplished and very serious motorcycle aficionado.
I am honored to be the current custodian of such a truly magnificent motorcycle. I have named her "Rose" after my grandmother and mother.
Mark made this brief teaser video the day before I arrived.
I simply cannot wait to get "Rose" home to Shangri-La and the Moto Migliori.

Scott,
I should be getting ready for the imminent arrival of company from New Hampshire, but just sit here, looking and relooking at the pix.
Kathi gave me The
Look ... until I showed her your photos and vid.
She said "Take your time; that is lovely. Can you get one, too?"
I then explained the various realities of that to my sweet wife.
Best wishes for grand memories of the future on that remarkable example of Italian engineering.

P.S. Whoa. I just realized that I was already five years old when your grand machine left the factory! It's way better preserved, too.

WOW! Enjoy that my friend, what a lovely lady!
Thank you so much Colonel. Truly.
Between Rose here and the Mille GT you helped me acquire, and my BMW R100 Classic, maybe I'm a closet vintage guy and I didn't even know it?
I am just consumed by Rose already. I never thought owning a vintage motorcycle could be so thrilling and satisfying and in truth, I haven't even rode her yet! I feel 25 again.
Many
to Kathi also for her kind words.
@Bill Hagan
Before the riding season is over, I will be bringing her to the Moto Grappa where it will be my incredible pleasure to send you and Kathi out on Rose, for the ride of your lives!
It will be the ultimate Kodak moment for sure.

The 2V Norge????

Moving to Albania. My condo is up for sale and my 2017 Anniversario will be soon. Time to leave Canada.As in moving away?
Where to?
Congratulations Scott, she sure is a beauty !
Vagrant
GT Reference
All right Scott. When does your museum plan to open, and will there be a charge?
When is saw it’s pillion perch, that was exactly what came to mind, Bill and Kathi@Bill Hagan

Hell of a move, wow, she must be hot!!!
Scott - you better brush up on RH shifting.
Scott - you better brush up on RH shifting.
Nope, But we fell in love with Albania and Italy last year. Health challenges for my wife mean the move is happening much sooner than originally planned. Albania is easy to move to, easy to settle in and affordable. And Italy is a quick cheap flight or ferry ride away.Wow! Huge change. Are you Albanian?
Sale - Who said you can’t take it with you!!
To expensive to ship her over seas and then import her into Albania.
I can appreciate your sentiment about the older bikes, they are pure motorcycles, wheels , engine and you !
We need some video of it being ridden !
Get out there an ride !
