Cleveland Moto
« on: April 11, 2025, 06:51:34 PM »
I was in Cleveland on the West side for a funeral last weekend.  Around the corner from the funeral home was Cleveland Moto and I stopped to see if he had any medium t-shirts as the one I bought 8 years ago from them had holes in it.  It was 8:30 Saturday morning and came to the door and let me in (they open at 11) and then sorted through t-shirt inventory until he found a couple of mediums.  In the process he explained that he was picking up Moto Guzzi once again and had half a dozen bikes coming as soon as the tariff issues settles out.  Really nice gentleman who took some time both times I happened in town, years apart.

I wish he wasn't 430 miles away from me...

I talked to the owner a few weeks back, surprised he didn’t mention that! I know he’s a Guzzi fan, so I’m glad he’s taken up the marquee once more. Might have to visit when I come out that was for a wedding in June.

That’s good news for NuGuzzi if he’s still looking to get a Guzzi.

Yeah, the owner of Cleveland Moto, Phil Waters, is a great guy.  When he still had the MG franchise he brought bikes to the Ohio Rally.  One year he brought Zero's, the electric bike.  Anyway, he's a very interesting person to talk to or was, I haven't seen or talked to him in several years now but understand he does a podcast.  And, I always found the showroom interesting too with new, used & vintage stuff.  I got my '91 Honda ct70 from him in '14 :laugh:

Hey OC1, I just reread your post indicating CM will be carrying MG again, it would definitely be convenient for us in NE Ohio if true.

Met Phil last year during the DGR fundraising ride. Nice guy indeed. Glad he is taking another crack at the brand and hope he will have PADS software!

Also seems to be a good source for the tiny Japanese trucks that they use for delivery over there. Cleveland Moto seems like a nice place to visit if I get the chance.
