leaving wild guzzi
« on: February 02, 2021, 09:10:10 PM »
Well guys after 35 years of Guzzi's it's time to go. I'm giving up motorcycles in general. My eyes are getting too bad to to do much riding anymore except for maybe some local urban Vespa riding. Met a lot of you guys and it's been fun
Cheers,

Take care Warren, your Moto Morini 3-1/2 is in good hands, getting to the engine rebuild after my Airone is finished.

Warren,

Park the bike, but no need to leave the campfire.

Don't leave us!  Even if the rides are short ones, you're next door to that lovely road that runs past Canyon Lake to the restaurant at Tortilla Flat.  May your Vespa rides be every bit as enjoyable as your Guzzi rides!

Best wishes,

Bob

EDIT:  At the moment and for the foreseeable future, I'm Guzziless, too.  I'm sticking around WG just to keep these guys and gals honest!

Better to have loved and lost...  I’m not sure I could ever not have a motorcycle even if I couldn’t ride.  Best of luck.

At the risk of sounding over philosophical.
Life IS like a book composed of chapters. When a chapter is completed one must go on to the next. The Ultimate goal is to complete the book, having enjoyed and learned from the content.
Be safe and blessed.

Warren,

Don't feel you have to leave, it's the love of Moto Guzzi that brings us together not current ownership. Hang out, impart advice or just enjoy the camaraderie of WG. You will always be welcome here.



I hope the Sonoran Sunriders will get to see you and Mae on occasion. We'll see about setting up a ride closer to your neck of the woods. Maybe an outdoor Gilbert eatery for lunch? Let me know about your preferred pandemic requirements or if you'd like to wait until things improve.

Big digital HUG!

Elisha

More and more of us are getting smaller or less labor intensive bikes to keep riding. 35 years on Guzzi?   :bow: Hang around, Warren. Show us your scooters.  :thumb:
