       Ok, so its not the NF but its still a Guzzi, a bimble round some
       lanes on the NF's grandson.
       Like the NF (for those with the bodywork) the fairing on this
       leads to a very friendly relationship twixt man and machine; it
       helps one float along dry (its true, well top half) and in a
       non-windblown, protected cocoon that makes missing the odd gear
       or lazy agricultural throttle response a non event. See a bit
       like the NF  ::)

       Again like the NF a wonderful old school engine; primeval,
       thunder/shudder, shaking cee-cees to lope along with. Lovely.
       Rocks the bike a little side to side at tick-over (which it does
       very nicely, unlike some other steeds I have spent time with),
       and once pulling away being propelled by the mighty V is a
       lovely experience.

       A wee departure from the NF, as related to the LeMan's; some
       regal bend-swinging is well within it's scope too. Creamy torque
       and the bike goes in and out of bends without frantic gear
       changing and no fuss.
       Guess it's grandaddy of today's Norge too....two NF's cylinders
       in a vee. Oh, my knee prefers riding this one; even in filthy
       weather/roads..... And praise for Mr Guzzi designer from the
       70's, a quick congratulations for linked brakes, a really good
       thing when its a bit iffy, and - what' this - a clock, so I know
       how late I am going to be....

       On roads that maybe haven't changed for 100yrs or so; where the
       NF was in it's element; the grandson seems to do ok too.
       Regards
