Title: Garish Goose
Post by: frozengoose on March 30, 2020, 03:28:19 PM
Saw this posted on another blog, a custom, very pro Italian T3:

Thought it might be fun to post other odd or interesting Guzzi pic's since we're mostly stuck at home, not supposed to discuss the life changing events many are experiencing. Curious what there's on the alternator cover, looks like a chrome speaker!

I see Greg every October at CMA Rally in Arkansas. He went down years ago on that bike, all the fairing and bags were destroyed but he rebuilt the bike, just a naked goose now.

Greg wrecked on his way home from our Low Rent Rendezvous Guzzi rally in Eufaula, Ok. He had young daughter Shekina bungee strapped to him when he was forced off the road by a turning 4 wheeler. He told me they slid down the road on that enormous seat,  riding it like a sled, while the Guzzi was destroyed. His organisation  (CMA? ) offered him a new touring bike of his choice to continue his mission. He chose a Gold Wing.

I knew Greg when this bike was painted with semi clad chicks sitting around a campfire, etc. The next year at Sylvan grove, KS  Greg and the bike had a transformation to the religious scenes. At one time this Guzzi was listed as the most photographed bike in the world.

Last I heard was Greg and his wife had a childrens home East of Mena, AR.

Since people here seem to know about these weird bikes, here's another one from that same blog. Anybody know something about this Indo-Guzzi or maybe Moto Indian?
