An inquiry into Motorcycle
Since Norton was mention in my last post. I wanted to look up some lesser known motorcycle makers.
These are lesser known in my part of the world and you will seldom find them on the road. (I had seen Triumph, Moto Guzzi but not Norton.)
Norton Motorcycles (nortonmotorcycles.com)
Triumph (www.triumph.co.uk)
Moto Guzzi (motoguzzi.it)
What do you do when you like motorcycle but cannot ride it?
Visit motorcycle websites, join motorcycle forums, look at motorcycle photos, watch motorcycle movies.
The Motorcycle Diaries is a story of Che Guevara, the Cuban revolutionary. If you have not heard of him, you may have seen the picture on the left. That’s him.
The namesake motorcycle (reputed to be a Norton 500) only appears for first half the movie.
Of course the movie is not about motorcycle but how the trip around South America changed the life of young Ernesto Guevara.
“Restlessness and the love of the open road.” That’s how it all started. That’s how many of us started with motorcycle isn’t it?
A good movie worth the watching.
