Moto Guzzi village and factory tour in French/Italian ... last summer

[Penderic]

A la découverte de la ville de Mandello et de la superbe région dans lesquelles sont fabriquées les Moto Guzzi. De superbes images de ces anciennes et nouvelles machines qui font le plaisir de leurs propriétaires....

Snow and cold? .... here is a nice visual treat for you. Sometime last summer, a cute French girl, in Moto Guzzi high heels, gets a personal tour of the factory.
 
See very nice pictures of the lake and village streets.  ;-T

See them put some of our precious bike bits together!   :o

Go on a ride with a bunch of collectors!

I'll bet if I looked like her I would have gotten a tour of the factory and a fine new V7 racer to ride.  As it was, I had to settle for the museum and rent a bike from Agostini.  But the Lake Como area is beautiful; if you can go, you won't regret it.

But isn't riding a priceless vintage race bike a part of the regular factory tour?  :D

Darn!

I sure would like to see that video again with a English track or captions. I wish I knew what the Factory Old Timers were arguing about when they were discussing that race bike picture on the wall.

Maybe if one showed up with a French film crew AND looked like that some privileges might be forthcoming  ;D

Yes, and the credits at the end of the show indicate 2 dozen people or more worked on the shows production!
Not a cheap effort for a show by any means. And I still learned a lot from just the images and some of the dialog.
