Luap Mc Keever’s gateway drug.

[Huzo]

This damn forum is addictive.
I found myself in Venice today wandering around some of the most priceless pieces of art and architecture imaginable and I actually got a bit shirty because I could not get Wi Fi to get on the forum while I had my 9th cappuccino.
Sometimes I wake at night to go for a comfort break and have a squiz at the forum before I go back to sleep.
I have been guilty of not opening a thread because it looked like there’d be nothing of interest to me and find as soon as I respond to something, I become interested.
Some topics a bit more than others I’ll admit..
The re mapping ones are way beyond my capability and I must learn not to be drawn into one’s like countersteering and such, but it just gets me in.
I’m an absolute sucker when someone says something like..
“******, said so Huzo and he usually knows what’s up so end of story..”
But I am learning to become a bit more mature and not be so easily baited...(even by masterbaiters)
There’s a lot to learn from Joe average and the guys like Roper, Beetle, Dusty, Chuck and electrical blokes like Kiwi What’s his name, leave me eating dust.
Some bugger suggested Roper should write a book.
Best idea I’ve heard for a long time, wit and knowlege are a nice mix.
Yep..
Wild Guzzi...
A gateway drug if ever there was and I don’t care if it kills me, I can give up any time I like but for now I’m hooked.

 Seriously , you have made this site a better place

I suspect if you respond to somebody's post in Alaska when you're on vacation, well you prolly know what it means! Have a great trip!

I started to think that maybe my tempered youth was catching up with me by the title 

Seriously though, glad you all enjoy it.  That's why we do this.

He lures you in with the gateway drug that is the forum....then gets you totally hooked and strung out on the crack that is his ghost pepper bacon jelly! 

[Chuck in Indiana]

ghost pepper bacon jelly!

So you're on the hard stuff, JC??  You seemed like such a good kid at Cedar Vale, too..  You realize that regular jelly will never be the same, now?
<shaking head and shuffling off..>

I thought I could handle it, man. I mean, I've had pepper jellies, before. No big deal, right? How could I have been so naive? So wrong? Life will never be the same.

What's Facebook??????

[Adk.IBO]

I’ve been Guzzi-less for over 2 years but still frequent here nearly every day and most days more than once...

[Ncdan]

What's Facebook??????

You r kidding, right?

[guzzi4me]

You r kidding, right?

Of course!

Laurie keeps wanting me to join but I don't see where my life would be enhanced by doing so.
Each to his or her own...
I choose to be facebook free.
Would take time away from me being on Wildguzzi!!

[Pizza Guzzi]

Yes Luaps the dealer, makes it impossible to quit but the Moto Guzzi Co itself has a lot to answer for. Something this good should probably be illegal

Yep. I swapped for a Harley Sport Glide three months ago. Love the new bike, but get bored in the H-D forums where all anyone talks about is whether they are man enough to reach 18” apehangers.

I may be a man without a country here, but at least the conversations are eccentric enough to hold my attention.
 

[oldbike54]

 You guys who are currently Guzzi-less could take a lesson from David W and enter next year's raffle bike thread , or do like he did and buy the bike outright for a donation to WG after the raffle . Pretty cheap way to get back in the game , just sayin' .

Well that's how I got the 850T, the guy who had it, a friend of mine who also had some Brit bikes, wanted to buy a Harley and needed the money. I think he kept the Harley less than a year before he sold it. He let me ride it once and it was OK, just like every other Harley I've ridden, just OK. He bought a T3 a few years later when he moved outside and as far as I know, still has it. I guess it's whatever turns your crank!

[Beowulf]

I find myself consistently back on this forum a lot always lurking and reading and learning. Its a lot of fun and for some dang reason i cant leave it alone.

      Yep,,, the breadth and depth of the conversations, combined with some of the best gear head knowledge available,this virtual camp fire is a potent combo.

      Knowing that this place exists, is a welcome security blanket for guzzi ownership, because for many of us, reality is, there is no local dealer or mechanical support network
