Title: So long, and thanks for all the fish
Post by: nikwax on September 06, 2016, 07:35:21 PM: My Guzzi has sailed off into the sunset, so I bid you all farewell. It's been an interesting five years here, and I've truly experienced the joys and agonies of Guzzi ownership.

Extra special thanks to the Map Wizards, Vasco DG and Beetle, I very much appreciate your generosity in creating maps for the Guzzi community. And to Luap for moderating.

I enjoyed your contributions.

On the one hand, WG is not la Cosa Nostra - you CAN leave if you want.

On the other hand, there have been a lot of good and informative posts from your direction in that same five years. Quick sampling shows that a lot of them are in non-Guzzi-related threads ... you COULD keep 'em coming.

Just a suggestion.

If for some reason I ever get rid of the T5 I'll probably stay on just for all the good folks in here.

:1: I agree wholeheartedly. I no longer own a Guzzi (the Stelvio now lives near Cleveland, OH). My current bike is another Beemer. However, I continue to go to Guzzi events and see the people I have known for the last several years. Friendly environment, have a lot of fun, what's not to like?

You can write interesting posts on how you wake up at night calling out for your Guzzi, and about how you long for another Guzzi every time you see one on the road, and how your Ducati is just not doing it for you and does anyone have a nice sporty Guzzi for sale?

Or maybe about something else.
