Title: Moto Guzzi Wishbook
Post by: T in NC on November 02, 2015, 07:14:47 PM

Fifty-five to sixty years ago at about this time of year a lot of us would be studying the Sear's Wishbook, well wishing. And dropping hints to certain people not unlike Ralphie in Christmas Story.
That got me thinking would it be nice if there was a place to direct those family members who although well meaning end up getting you some gawd awful (or even nice) HD trinket for Christmas.
What is something Guzzi/motorcycle related that either you would like see under your tree. Or something that you wouldn't have got for yourself and somebody gave before.
Here is something I hint at every year. I could get for myself obviously, but it's not something I would buy for myself.

What a great idea, a Christmas wish list thread.  Here's my entry:

Some Guzzi content, this would make restoration work a little more interesting and fun

5 Axis CNC mill - this would take me years to learn to use but.... think what you could reproduce with it

The vapor blasting outfit looks like you have to use both hands and both feet.  Do you need a M/C license to operate??   :evil:
