Ive been pondering over buying a Guzzi for years , I've always liked them but never got around to getting one ,always agonising over which model to buy, but your video has pointed me in the right direction for a first Guzzi to sample the brand without spending a fortune. Great video thanks 👍, and you have a new subscriber .

I think we should go for a beer😂

Love your wisdom: we need more than one bike😃😃👍👍

yes, a lovely good-handling bike.

I just watched your video. I know it was a while ago and you might not still have the Norge. I have an opportunity to get the exact same model you have/had, 2016. I love the look and the Moto Guzzi brand. I’m torn between the Norge and a 2016 Triumph Trophy? Same year and mileage. Trophy has more fancy do-dads but Al in all, very similar bikes. Question- I’ve heard about engine heat on the Norge? Also, you look fairly tall so how is the riders triangle on the Norge? I am 6’4” so would I be cramped? Thank you

Greetings from Denmark. Just bought my self a 250 2c today(in rough condition) Love a 2 stroke, love something “a bit off” There by…. Can’t wait to see another one of your videos ✌🏻 Ride safe

I am getting back after many years out and at 68 have always fancied a California now one has popped up near me so will go and look, the owner says it is too heavy, Not sure if that will be a problem if you can paddle it but I have never ridden one so this video is valuable to me thanks.

Hello Mister, a question which perhaps you can answer because you are in Italian motorcycles. At a Oldtimer Rallye I saw a MV Agusta 125 and thought by myself that the engine looks like the one of the Gilera 150. Could it be that both used the same engine just Gikera added some hub?

Just watched this for the umpteenth time, miss you so much Dad, god bless

Incidentally, I also own a Breva 750 in addition to the GTR1000, Vstrom 650 and my wife's Goddaughter Monkey.

I missed this one when it came out. I thoroughly enjoyed your story! I'm sorry to see that you stopped creating content, but it appears that your health has pushed you into that. I've enjoyed your bike stories, trip stories and watching you take a spanner to your bikes. That racing history of yours was quite a ride! I live across the pond and have always loved motorcycling. It's better than therapy. I'm 66 and retiring at the end of October and plan on spending a lot more time riding and wrenching. You've been an inspiration to me, and I will miss coming into your shed with you.

❤❤❤❤ you will be missed. Great guy.

It was a pleasure knowing you Andy, with plenty of discussions we had whilst being MOT Quality controlled at Avia, RIP mate.

I've had 3 Californias, they don't look like what I usually prefer but they cover distance like nothing else. Sound so well, call it my Harley that handles.

Great video, these Norges are best kept secret 😎

Thanks for being kind and taking the time to watch one of my videos. I wish you nothing but the best no matter where you are.

Very sorry to hear about Andy ,God bless him , if this helps anyone it's worth mentioning please be aware of the potential dangers of using the antibiotic prescription drug Nitrofurantoin as this can have a serious side effect of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on the patient.

❤ Eu não conhecia seu trabalho até hoje, quando recebi a sugestão de assistir. Felizmente, tive a sorte, ou fui agraciado pelo destino, em poder ouvir suas palavras de coragem e grata realização. Tenha certeza de que o futuro reserva a você, eternas experiências com tudo o que lhe dá prazer, e continuará nos divertir e orientar para sempre! Que Deus esteja com você. Obrigado!

My first 3 1/2 Sport back in the eighties had the standard drop bars and no vibration felt through the grips. I changed the top yoke and fitted Strada bars, the same as the ones you have on this bike, and vibration was felt straight away. It's just the length of your bars accentuating the inherent imbalance of a 60 degree (?) twin configuration. Input on foam grips which helped. Watching this in Sep 2024, sending best wishes in your health battle.

Just remember, everything you helped people with on the channel, that stuff lives forever. Be happy with the evidence of how we all enjoyed sharing what you COULD do, and be satisfied with that legacy, regardless. Sooner or later, the path we all tread leads to the exit door. You've done better than most. And it was beautiful. Shine on, Old Guy.

As an Italian we say Norjay😎😉 Great review of a great bike, thanks❤

God bless you.

Also a Guzzi owner and only recently discovered your channel. So sorry to hear this will be the last. Very best wishes to you.

Valve clearances can have a huge effect on these engines ,if they are too tight to start from as it heats up they can close up but still give an indication of compression when kicked over , when the engine cools down the clearance opens up enough to run for a while until heated up again , carbs on these also can be very prone to blocking in the galleries that supply the emulsion tube .

Please look into the benefits of ivermectin to treat IPF .

Coco-vidd is the biggest crime in human history! It was forced on people by coercion and even violence by politicians!. The "illuminati" and WHO and WEF are behind it and they want us on our kneese!. And YOU (Poor Old Lad) won,t get into politics!...WOW!!!!...Best to you old chap!

Thank you for all you have done!

God bless you sir.🇬🇧

God bless fella 🙏

You actually contributed in me buying a Moto Guzzi Breva Thank you very much

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi, I am thinking about buying a Norge 2012 model, I live in Florida and I am wondering how this bike handles hot climates and traffic since it's air cooled. Another concern is reliability. Can you please help me with these concerns? Thanks in advance. Cheers

First time on your channel, respect mate

God bless.... fair winds.....

❤

Class act. 🍻

Lovely, sounds like steam on tickover.

Sorry to see you go it was great to watch be well

God bless.

Sorry,buddy

I wish you well my friend and thank you for everything you have achieved rgds Paul.

Thx for all the shows Andy. From a fellow Guzzi enthusiast, who thoroughly enjoyed listening in to your philosophical bike rants. All the best.

What a dignified bowing out. You couldn't have done it better. Strength to you and your family in your next chapter and never forget that you have left us all a little bit richer for having shared some time with you..

Thank you

Hi Everyone, It is with a heavy heart that i inform you all, that Andy has passed away this afternoon. As you knew from his last video he hasn't been well for some time, but this is still a big shock for it to happen so soon. Andy was a really good friend of mine and we travelled thousands of miles on our various bike and every one of those miles in his company was joyous. He was always available to help or give his expert advice to anyone and always with well meaning. He thought so much of The Old Guy In Shed and the comments from you all. Quite often he would talk of his channel as if he knew each and everyone one of you as a friend and was quite proud to have been part of that friendship. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Andy it was a privilege to be a friend.

Great dignity.

Thanks for all your content I have enjoyed every minute of it and take care

Friend on the other side of the world, I'll never say good bye just next time we will meet with a full heart. Thanks .

Thanks for the videos.
