The Remarkable Mr Rugg
« on: September 19, 2021, 03:05:56 PM »
An old friend from Salina met me on the way to the MOKAN, this year, and rode up to check it out on his 'Busa. (I told him that he'd definitely be the only one there, but that Guzzistis are nice folks, so he wouldn't get made fun of too much.  :laugh: )

Anyways, on Saturday morning, we discovered that he'd picked up a nail the size of a small railroad spike in his rear tire. It must have happened on the very last leg, because he never noticed it going flat.

So who should come to the rescue with a mushroom plug kit and air pump? Why Chet Rugg, of course. Seriously, I'm having trouble remembering seeing him at  a rally where his skills and preparedness DIDN'T save at least one rider having troubles. So let's hear it for the remarkable Mr. Rugg. Cheers, Chet! :boozing:

Chet won best looking Bassa at the old Italy Texas rally. Hope someone can post the pic of him along with 4 pretty chics admiring his bike.

Chet is one of the many wonderful Guzzi riders I've met in my 50 years of riding Guzzi.

The moral of the story, "the Guzzi guy has a patch kit."
