Mama Tried Motorcycle Show and the Lone Guzzi
« on: April 30, 2019, 05:47:29 AM »
The Mama Tried Show occurs in Milwaukee during February.  It's focus is on custom bikes which tends to be Harleycentric.  This year I was asked to bring my 1000S to the show.  This is the 3rd time I have had a bike invited to the show. 

One of the great perks of having a bike invited to the show was having a professional photo shoot of your bike by David Carlo Photography.  I thought I would share his great work.

Gorgeous...like Gina Lollobrigida WoW

I especially like the reflection of the wood floor lighting up the exhaust in two tone gold.

A beautiful example of what's probably my favorite Guzzi of all.

This 1000S didn't require a lick of work.  I am still working on 1000S #2.
