Photos of the five Guzzi's that I have owned over the years, (including my current '98 V10 Centauro GT), and only one wife!! :thumb: :wink: We celebrated 31 years June 14th! :cool:
I am very fortunate to have someone who has stood by me all these years, through thick and thin....and has put up with my BS...and motorcycle obsession! :wink: :thumb: :cool:

Nice and congratulations!
-
Congratulations, and may you have 31 more years together, and twice that many more bikes.
-
So is it true love or is your wife just a Guzzi aficionado? Both, perhaps?
-
Congratulations on the beautiful occasion (nice bikes too, and a great photo of the two of you!)
-
Congratulations to both of you. Working on 39 years here.
-
You have such good taste, she appreciates that.
-
Sounds like a great relationship. Gail will marry me (and my two Guzzis) on Sunday. Hope we have at least 31 years together!

My wife of course, is my true love, :cool: but I have owned and ridden 30+ other brands of motorcycles in all my years of riding...and 18 years before I met her! :thumb: :wink:
-
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The real ? is why such a lovely lass would pick an old biker man??????????

1. Because old Italians get better with age....and 2. I know how to make her laugh... :cool: ...and often. She also says: "I am the entertainment director" of the household!! :grin: :laugh: :thumb: :cool: :boozing:

You're doing it right, JJ!

You're doing it right, JJ!
One thing I learned from my Chinese colleagues a very long ago....
"Happy wife...Happy Life!" :bow: :thumb: :cool:

My ? is, why don't you hang on to your Guzzis like you do your wife? :undecided:
My wife of 28 years bought me our 1st Guzzi and we still have it. We've had 5 Guzzis and still have 3 (`81 CX100, `77 Convert, `04 750 Breva.) Both of us got married for the 2nd time. Her 1st husband rode a Harley. So I married a biker momma. :shocked:
-
Congratulations!
Working on 34 years now myself.

For me personally, motorcycles have always been inanimate, recreational vehicles...surely designed for fun and enjoyment, but nothing more. :cool: I never get emotionally attached to any of them.
Besides, I like owning and trying new toys every once in a while. :grin: :laugh: (I have owned and ridden more than 34 bikes in over 49 years of riding) :wink:
With women, my intent was always and only to get married ONCE...and I did...at age 30...just like my grandfather. :cool:

JJ,
Well done, happy wife happy life.
Me? One Guzzi in 29 years, now on wife No3.
Life, an interesting journey despite your best intentions.
-
That's great JJ best wishes for many more happy years!
Me, LeMans 27 years, wife (Barbara) 14 happy years.
Oh I did have one practice run before but I try to forget that one :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Congrats JJ. May you have many more anniversaries and bikes.

Karen and I just completed 44 years a few days ago. On our first date I noticed a Bell "Shorty" helmet in her car. That did it!

Congratulations JJ. Those are 6 beatiful companions, and you have kept the one that counts!
Patty and I will celebrate 27 years this September, and each year is better than the last.
We have never met, but I hope we get the chance someday. I always enjoy your posts!

Hopefully the wife came with a better warrenty than the Guzzis.

Hopefully the wife came with a better warranty than the Guzzis.
No warranty (or guarantees) on the wife...I just got lucky! :thumb: :cool:
The only two "brand new" Guzzi's I have ever owned in my life, ironically, was my very first one, a 1978 850 Le Mans, and I sold it after 5000 miles - no issues. :thumb:
The second was the 2002 V11 Le Mans, and same thing, I sold it to a friend when I moved to Aachen, Germany in 2004. It too, had about 5K miles on it - and no issues whatsoever. :cool: It now has >18K miles and no issues.
All my other Guzzi's were used, and there was time and money invested in ALL of them to get them right and properly sorted.
I have all the parts / upgrades to "fix all the issues" my V10 Centuaro, and hopefully that will all be competed by the time I ride it to 25th New Mexico State Rally in Datil at the end of August.
It has 7500 original miles on it now, and in 1000 miles the only thing that died is the Veglia tach (POS) which I have to replace.
