Guzzi Evangelism and a Future Guzzisti?
« on: September 19, 2015, 11:13:25 AM »
No coffee in the house this morning... so jumped on the LeMans. As I pulled into the local Starbucks, I noticed a car show getting started. Bunch of 60s iron, some modern sports cars (American and European), a few lead-sleds, some other oldies. Lots of dads with young boys. As I pulled in, one of the boys visually locked onto the Guzzi - hot Italian racing red and rumbly with my sawed-off Ti pipes. He tractor-beam focused till I parked.

While I was inside getting a pound of Komodo Dragon ground for the French press, I glanced out several times to see him still transfixed - no care whatsoever for the Ferrari, the Cobra, none of the cars... just gaping at the Guzzi and apparently lost in dream-land.

Reminded me of my boyhood fascination with motorcycles. I hope he's appropriately "scarred for life" and will be a Guzzisti in future.

Starbucks  :huh: Seriously

If you're going to evangelize, you have to go where the sinners are.

Yep, I remember riding my sting ray bicycle downtown to look through the windows of the BMW-Guzzi shop when I was a kid. They probably had to clean the drool off the glass after I rode away.
