I saw TWO Guzzis on the road in Phoenix today!
« on: October 18, 2021, 04:56:44 PM »
You coulda knocked me over with a feather.
One was a green(?) California (not a 1400), and the other I only caught briefly. It reminded me of a Norge, so I think that’s what it was. Black or dark color.

Was that anyone here (who wants to say so)? I thought it was neat to see two on the road the same day. I’m not sure when I’ve seen a Goose on the road here before.

I remember my first Guzzi sighting after the purchase of my not-yet-running Eldo.

I followed him for miles, we talked at every light, eventually he let me ride it.
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

If it is a green/black California by himself, it's Richard.  The Norge don't know.

I seem to be drawn to bikes I rarely see out on the road.  When I do, my wife thinks I'm losing what's left of my grey matter.  I used to holler and yell, "GUZZI!, GUZZI!, GUZZI!" or "aprilia!, aprilia!, aprilia!, aprilia!!!".   I need to get back out on the Big Breva more often.  :cheesy:

After several years of paying attention, I finally saw another old Guzzi on the road yesterday - but it just turned out to be my reflection in a big showroom picture window as I was riding by.
