Stelvio out. Griso in.
« on: February 19, 2016, 07:06:43 PM »
Heading home from work and my wife calls and says"turn around and go to guzzisteve's shop.(Marietta Sportscar/Guzzi Dealer)
"I bought you a new motorcycle for Valentines"
Umm, be right there honey!!!
New 2015 Griso signed and sealed. But what to do with "Herkimer the Stelvio" up on the rack being rollerized by guzzisteve??
Shop made a satisfactory offer and just like that, it's gone.  Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
moooving right along, here's a few photos.
First stop, a few hundred yards up the road to celebrate at Williamson Bros.BBQ(look familiar Wayne?)
A few ribs :cool:
 
Gone, but not forgotten...

Happy Days!





A new day dawning. :bike-037:

I must be living in an alternate universe or did something very bad in a previous life.

My wife only calls me up to complain or tell me she wrecked the car (again).

I got a text from her Sunday, she's playing tennis in the Bay Area, the text was not a complaint.

I have yet to see what she did to my car this weekend.
