Poodles enjoy complexity.

Latin language encouraged and Italian...

My Guzzi is lento come una lumaca

Poodles asked me to bump this thread.  They plan to award the coveted "Golden Goose Egg" for best simile later this week.

Note excellent musical entry by Not Fishing and my reply.  Music works.  So does art.  And poodles love music.  Even more they like food, tasty bits and such.  They are very biased. 

My Guzzi is like.... Volare...

Here's one for you chief...a little motivational poetry in the morning - see you Saturday

There once was a man from Sugar Land
Whose V7 was very Special indeed
He’d swan to the ocean on route 36
And fly back on his silver steed

Far and wide he hoped to ride
To the GRIT and Okie he cried
Gear strapped and bags put on
He disappeared over the horizon

Picture has been stretched horizontally, unless you can cross a heavy draft horse with a weiner dog.
No trees were harmed by the conveyance of this message, but a lot of electrons were seriously disturbed.

Paul,

You over estimate my long distance riding skills. 

Ah, the Bard comes to mind.  A favorite....

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

My Guzzi is like Washington, DC.  You can throw all the money you want at it, but it still won't run just right :lipsrsealed:
"My mind makes appointments my body can't keep"

Geographic Center of Georgia, a few miles from Jeffersonville

Q:  What is that ?
A:   It's a Moto Guzzi.

Q:   Is it fast ?
A:   No, 'bout like a Harley.

All,

One last bump per poodle nudge of noses.  Contest closes Sunday afternoon.  Then your entry will be weighed on the scales against the feather of Maat.

My Guzzi glides like the Pharoah's chariot, across the Nubian plains, towards the Golden hills.
