Title: Ewan McGregor Signs with Moto Guzzi
Post by: Mike Crenshaw on June 15, 2015, 09:48:30 AM

An interesting article I came across today.  He usually does an entertaining film, even though he has a million dollar support crew behind him.

Good for him... Good for Guzzi.

It's always pleasing for me to see a "celebrity" capitalizing on their fame in a manner which makes me a touch jealous. Unlike buying ridiculous homes, getting in my face telling me how to live or mistaking notoriety with "my mouth fart opinions out weigh the minions" of so many of the post-famous... This guy just lives a pretty cool dream.

Star Wars now, were the movies worth a damn in general, I'd call him out on those.

Great for Ewan and Moto Guzzi.

I know it's acceptable to post butchered English on forums like this one, but I would think an editor might have at least glanced at the article before sending it off to print.  The Herald Scotland?  Do they speak English there?

"the country's most in hospitable regions"
"several doorman volcanoes"
"almost 7,000 miles ride"
"The televisions series"
"adopt another girl as four month-old baby"
"Moto Guzzi's head quarters"
"and I ride them wherever I am going far or going just round the corner"
"I seven have a 1974 Eldorado police bike"

He played the priest in the second Vatican Thriller. Seems to be a nice chap. Welcome to stop by anytime.
