I had the floor epoxied, painted the walls added a water softener and still had a crummy looking water heater staring at me. So, I turned it into a large battery!

Looking good, love the big battery 👍

Eliminates the need for a backup generator.

Looks great! However, need some Moto Guzzi signs, etc. on the walls, also!

Hey John,

Looks great....what a fine bit of "hidden in plain sight"

You aught to reach out to Scotty...he just bought a place to winter in AZ...not sure where or how close but Guzzi's will be present.

Hoping you can make it to our rally this August...need you for the tricycle race :)

Cheers

What time is the party? We're going to break it in for you, John. I like the battery!

Guzzistajohn · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2019, 08:56:24 AM »

That place is way too clean. Take something apart and mess it up a little!

Guzzi Gal · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2019, 09:30:39 AM »

That's cool!

Irony, I used to be a factory rep for Rayovac. But the other battery graphics are to complicated to replicate. Duracell is easy. I ordered the name in 5" tall letters from an internet company and stuck'em on. I brushed on two coats Rustoleum satin paint and then sprayed the top 1/3 with Kryon Copper, both are companies I also sold for.

Beautiful job, John! Your garage looks cleaner than my living room! Do you keep your Vette in Scottsdale? I bet that baby is immaculate as well.....

JU takes care of his stuff. Somewhere, I have a picture of his mentor Tex the Turnip farmer giving him some pointers on cleaning up his loop.

John A · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2019, 01:55:32 PM »

Yep, he does.

some place I have a picture of rusty water from an unused bolt hole dripping on the left muffler on his white Bassa. thing was unrideable

Hi JU. Nice mancave but where is the beer fridge??

Will you be back for the brunch on the 20th?

Weather is looking good here in Minn for that weekend, I'm planning on making it.

Ride Safe..

Earl

Both are very nice ,JU. The C-7 convertible sure looks stunning in that color!

Thanks Rick! Back in the early 90's I won my class at the MN Vette show 3 years running with the '81..... then I got tired of sitting in a chair all day long and have not done show since.

Earl, I'll be back for the May 18th breakfast. I'm doing the RT 66 Run in May.
