Cycle World: Vespa, Guzzi, Aprilia
« on: February 03, 2022, 08:39:59 AM »
This article is mostly about the 75th year (2021) of Vespa but it contains this paragraph:
 
"Another Piaggio company, Moto Guzzi, is a different story. Still emerging from the low waters of the De Tomaso years, Guzzi is growing steadily, and the new V100 Mandello promises to continue this growth. In any event, if you factor in the loyalty of the Guzzi faithful—particularly evidenced by the Guzzisti who gather in Mandello every year for the firm’s birthday—Moto Guzzi is the second-most passionate motorcycle brand in the world, after Harley-Davidson. Nobody within Piaggio would consider selling or dismissing Guzzi, even if it takes years to return sizable profits."

If cult is described as multiple owned bikes; with the amount of people who have 3 or more Guzzi's just from this site, I'd say its sort of a cult.

If it was any more of a cult, it would require chickens.

Roper Chicken is probably a starting point.
