Wear Your Colors!

[pehayes]

During the Cedar Vale event, we drove down to Pawnee, OK to attend a vintage tractor and steam event.  Very nice and very large.   While standing at a working display, someone tapped me on the shoulder and said "nice shirt".  I was wearing a day-glo Moto Guzzi shirt from Harpers.  I turned around to see a young chap who was also wearing a Moto Guzzi  T-shirt.  What are the odds?  We chatted for awhile.   I asked if he was attending the rally and he'd never heard of it.  He was from Norman, OK and riding a Stelvio.  So, he hopes to attend next year.  I gave him my card so we could stay in touch.  He noticed my address in Fremont, CA and said that he was born and raised in Fremont.  We chatted a bit more about the city and determined that he grew up about two miles from my house.  He left when the city was 100K.  Now it is about 275K.

If anyone meets or knows a young Stelvio rider in Norman, OK, please say hi from me and ensure that he attends Cedar Vale next year.  I don't have his data but  he  has mine.

PS:  On that stroke of luck I went back to the rally and bought more raffle tickets.  Still didn't win.  :-(

How did he end up in Norman???  Curious on my end.

Don't know him.  Best to direct him to the WG board.

you know these two?

I would hope you would know if your husband rides a Guzzi Dharma. Those sorts of things should be discussed before marriage. Finding it out from a stranger at school is even worse.

Guess I should a put quotes around her words, huh.

[Scout63]

I was just being silly. I hope I didn’t offend.

[Dharma Bum]

No offense taken, I picked up on the humor right off the bat.
