helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Yesterday I left home to go on a 10 day shift flying and I was only away for 30 minutes when I recieved a text message "The eagle has landed!". I hope you all know what this means! I think there will have to be an online unveiling! Everyone will have to buy some red Italian wine and tune in at the right time and the "Eagle" will be revealed to all! Updates will follow when I know when I am getting home!

al_roethlisberger Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Very cool Photos when you get it in-hand I was talking to Jason at Moto Italiano on Friday, and Munroe in SF is supposed to have received 4(uncomfirmed) It doesn't look like Moto Italiano will get any though, due to more MGNA nutso SNAFUs ... long story, but MGNA didn't honor their order/guarantee for 2 MGS's placed last year, since the bike got delayed a year, and the Platinum dealers had a 2 wk window to reorder again, and due to the dealership moving, etc... Moto Italiano missed it <_> We'll see if they get at least one, but it's doubtful... which is really sucky, as Moto Italiano was *the* dealership that helped MGNA parade the bike around Northern CA's show and track circuits. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 10 day shift flying so you have to wait 10 days, that must be killing. Are you going to try to get it licensed on the road? Headlight is from a aprilia leonardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only because I stopped by Valley Moto Guzzi and harassed them into checking again did they find out about the re-order situation. The first shipment was only six bikes with another 4 on their way - confirmed. Anymore after that is up in the air but it seems MGNA knows they have to make up to a few dealers because they are promising more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find any serious Italian wine right now but I'd go with some pretty good Bordeaux. That'll do the job. Ready with the corkscrew: at your signal, sir. G.
