Naming suggestions

[adventurelounger]

Advottocinque, as in “Adventure Eight-Fiddy.” And agree with JohninVT’s McDonaldland assessment. But someone photoshopped a plain white on red version on the other thread, and it looks sweet.

BTW, on the subject of Moto Guzzi updating things to compete in the 21st century, they need to get a non-Italian (or more sophisticated) mobile developer for their web content. I’ve tried to submit a name to their microsite via my US iPhone and iPad via 2 browsers (Chrome and Safari) and I️ wasn’t able to get the damn form to advance to the field where you can enter a name despite several tries. Kinda frustrating and lame if you’re gonna solicit a naming contest via US Facebook feed!

In the spirit of Overlanding and Adventures:

Guzzi Avventura
Guzzi Sabbia (sand dunes)
Guzzi Tramontane (Northern Wind, or Somewhere over the Mountains/Alps)
Guzzi Odisseo (after Odysseus of Greek mythology, the ultimate adventurer)

All good except# 2.
Sounds like something I heard a gynaecologist say once.

Yeah....something to do with a yeast infection.

Sorry, I didn't hear that.
I just ducked down the back to put on my parachute !

[Tom]

Jus' don't let the women know.

Which makes me wonder...what the hell were you doing visiting with a gynecologist?   

Sabbia was supposed to conjure up images of the Namib Skeleton coast with the orange sand dunes, but it seems to have been waylaid (pun intended)...

[Tom]

Uh.......maybe he was baking bread.

My experience 'zactly.
Moto Guzzi has, IMHO, fallen to new lows even participating in FecesBook.
Now....y'all kids get off my lawn!

Nuova Sporcizia


or just

Sporcizia

Everyone will think it is some kind of sport reference...it means DIRT
you have to love a language that can make even dirt sound glamorous.
Nuovo Sporcizia = New Dirt      go figure

I wasn't visiting..
I was lecturing at a symposium.

I suggested the Ippogrifo.

It's the closest they've come to delivering on that promise. A more powerful smallblock (even if it's a new engine, not just new heads,) a monoshock suspension on a smallblock, etc.

And if they never deliver it, it'll be part of the Ippo legacy!
