Moving on.

[Max Way]

As good as the 1400GTR is I've traded it in ( part ex, I think you say in the UK ?). It was just time for me to scratch a Guzzi itch that had just become too hard to resist and as I'm about to turn 60 I thought it was time to cross it off the bucket list.

Thanks one and all for the great time I've had with this forum, although I wasn't the most prolific poster in the world I always checked in at least once a day to see what was happening.

Good luck and a lifetime of safe riding to all.

Max. (aka Glenn )

Sorry to see that you've changed your GTR Glenn, that doesn't mean that you have to leave the forum, why not 'pop in' now and then for a chat

Hope that you like your Guzzi, some pics would be good   

[Lonewolf]

Glenn I can only echo what OC has said, a change of wheels doesn't mean you can't still be part of our little community. 


Please do keep visiting and checking that we're all still awake.

[Debs]

Enjoy your new Guzzi when you get it but please dont leave this mad house 

Go and have some fun. Im sure you will want another GTR in time and will be back 

[Max Way]

Thanks for the kind thoughts  Deb, in an ideal world I would keep the GTR but sadly it has to go to fund the new toy !

I don't collect the new bike until Friday and I'll post a pic or two soon after, assuming I can stop my hands shaking from that big V twin 

Glenn.

PS Why I used the name Max Way - I'm a bit paranoid about using my name on the net - when my son was a little lad he was learning to spell his name at school. Now his first name is Christopher and the surname is a bit of a mouthful, so after a frustrating day of unsuccessfully trying to write his name he arrived home declaring " I wish my name was Max Way, at least I could spell it. " Gave me a good chuckle then and 20 odd years later still makes me smile.

Stay onboard Glenn - I jumped brands but still enjoy the banter on here more than ANY other forum I belong to.

Great bunch here and no snobbiness or one-make-only attitude unlike most forums covering my current brand!

And I too have a Guzzi itch, but I won't scratch it!!

[alibx11]

Ditto the rests views, don't disappear altogether Glenn and post photos of your new steed.

I considered the Guzzi Norge before I bought my GTR but didn't go for it as supply of parts and dealers in N Ireland are a bit scarce. Still liked the thought's of buying something a bit different.

What model did you buy?

Good luck and health to enjoy it but make sure you come back and give us your opinions on it.

Scratching itches is an expensive pastime............. Its likely that I'm just about to scratch another one   

[Lonewolf]

OMG, what's it going to be now? Don't tell me you've finally seen sense and are going to get a magnesium coloured GTR. 

[Winston Smith]

Is it another oldie?
Is it another big Kwak?
Is it one of Bavarias best?
Is it a dirt bike?

You never know with Roger - only that it won't be a Honda...

LMAO at your last comment Chris....how right you are sir 

In answer to your questions :-

Yes.
No.
Definitely not !
No it certainly isn't

It's likely to have a nasty 'snake bite'    

[Winston Smith]

You have my curiosity sir!

"snake bite"?

Only snakebite I can think of are the ones drunk when I were a lad and a young biker in't late 70's and early 80's

I had a Guzzi itch once, but my Doctor gave me some cream and told me to stop riding the Guzzi and it would go away. 
Enjoy the Guzzi, they are an experience. Not sure I'd want to repeat it though. I borrowed a friends LeMans for 4 weeks and while it was different I never managed to get use to the feel of it. Was glad to get back on my GS550E.
