New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Many years ago, when I was a college student living in Rome, those things were all over the place there. Stone workers were perpetually to be found doing stone work on the roads and ancient buildings around my apartment close to the Vatican. Those guys, most of whom seemed old enough to be my father, wore gray worksuits that were always just covered with white stone dust. They milled around all the little narrow alleyways, jabbering and laughing among each other, hauling stone pieces and tools in those 3-wheelers. I was about 3 storeys above them and I'd often watch them at work from my window. I remember the ever-present putt-putt-putt sound of those machine as they trundled about the skinny cobblestone ways. I was familiar with Guzzi at that point on my life but I'm not sure I appreciated that most of those workhorse machines were made by Moto Guzzi. To be sure, some were two-strokes that buzzed around spewing blue smoke. Not sure who made those.
