Cuba news?
« on: April 06, 2015, 08:39:19 PM »
Can anyone verify that Castro's police force used Guzzis?  I have heard this from a Cuban gentleman.

The most common mc for the people is the Ural.

I thought they looked sorta like small block Nevadas providing Guzzi made a small block Nevadas

Small blocks are a mystery to me

Its interesting to see the Cuban motor officer.  I wonder if in 20 years after consuming genetically modified US food products they do not start to resemble the the more ROUNDER profiled US police force.
