Did ya see it too? It was right up front and center when Antonio Badass and Carlos Santana sang their song, whatever it was. Didn't get many good looks at it, but the Norton Badge was very distinct on the tank. Man it was shiny too.

Dinqua,
I was checking out the Norton site earlier today, they have some sound clips of the bike - nice sound!

We watched "Saw", umm, not the best decision! Picked up the "Motorcycle Diaries" this weekend, but the Spanish subtitles turned me off. Habla solamente un poco Espanol!

Well they were singing a song from the motorcycle diaries so I'm gonna assume it is either THE bike from the movie or one like it...

See, I didn't know anything about the song, and never even heard of the movie.
And, I was just channel surfing during commercials, not watching the whole show, and stopped cause they mentioned Carlos. Now, he da man! But the song was boring anyway.
What's the movie about anyway? Motorcycles? Or is it just in the title?

I think the movie is based on a book about the travels of Che Guevarra (sp?) The notorious communist militant who ended up in Cuba w/ Castro. There is reference to the movie in one of this month's Cycle World editor columns. I couldn't watch the awards show too long after Chris Rock's lacklustre attempts at humor became a political forum. Hollyweird...

the film is worth watching and the bike part is humorous for 20% of the movie which it appears but then is off to an adventure. Good movie all subtitled and we can relate to any journey now or in our youth like this. The political stuff is small portion of he film.
