What do we look like? Definitely MG content.
« on: April 05, 2020, 08:24:54 AM »
Good morning MG family.
I have been communicating with some of you guys for several years now and consider the members of this forum an extended family. I was reading a post of one of you guys this morning who was describing himself in regards to a particular riding issue and it dawned on me. After all these years of knowing you guys I wouldn’t know you if we ran into each other on the street, I don’t know what you look like. I’d really like to see you in person but that probably, for the most part won’t happen. So the next best thing is a photo, preferably a more recent one and I’ll start the show.
I hope this don’t seem frivolous because I’m serious, I really want to add an image to my guzzi pals and it will be interesting to see if

the real you is anywhere close to your image in my minds eye. Let’s have some fun with this👍

Here's my daughter Meredith (nurse, I am holding my breath right now) and I on our October 2019 trip to Las Vegas.  Rented bikes from LV BMW, a Guzzi 1400 and 850 BMW, rode 1500 miles around the southwest.  Good times!

Some of us in the picture had a long hard day , and apparently some others might have thought it was funny ?

On the left in the other picture with all my beauty restored !   That place at the start of the Twisted Sisters Loop , can't think on the name of it ???  :grin:

Here's a screenshot of a professional pic from a recent magazine article of me in studio. The photographer wanted a specific look for the composition, so told me not to smile.  Magazine was happy.   He was very happy and has been using the image in his recent ad campaign.  No matter, the first thing my mother said when she saw was "why didn't you smile? It would have been nice picture if you had remembered to smile."....





My name is AC Button II, named after my grandfather.  He went by Arthur, so I went by Clint.  Cliff/Cliffrod has been my nickname since elementary school up north. Down south, they call me Button.

This is me after a Masonic ritual that's steeped in allegory  :laugh:  Not really, this was a ride with Leroy, LaSandra, Luap and some of the rest of the gang in Lanagan, a little SW Mo. town with a bar in a cave. The place had these little fellers climbing all over the place  :grin: Photo by LaSandra (luapsgirl)

No. 1.  My first long ride on my bitching “new” Ducati 900SS.  Of course it was rainy and cold all the way to Kansas.

No. 2.  Dusty makes the mistake a letting me near a microphone. 

No. 3.  Recent shot of me during this - quarantine.

Our group started texting pictures around and this one showed up of me. A long day of riding in the rain must have made me a little goofy.

I love that jacket Phil. However it looks a little snug so I’d be glad to take it off your hands as a jester of good faith😉

That's why I like going to Guzzi rallies, to put a face to the name.  I've made life-long friendships that first started on the internet.
