Harley riders have made comments about my Thruxton, Ducati, Moto Guzzis, etc.
A couple years ago on the new California Moto, I was on 53 in Northern , Wi. on my way to Aerostich in Duluth. Came up on 3 Harleys headed north also . I slid around them going about 70. The Harleys kept twisting .... I kept twisting . 53 is a nice new 4 lane . Clear day ...open road...I got a little Carried away ( stupid). I parked in the back of Aerostich and went in. About a day later the Harley riders showed up.
One of them asked me " what are you riding Grampa"?
I said the Guzzi that I passed you on is parked out back.....can I buy you guys lunch?
We all headed for the tall stool.
Aerostitch has "Guzzi" written all over it...
You got lucky on 53.. There's 3 state boys that cruise that stretch daily.. They see you being 'carried away' they'll be carryin' YOU away in the back seat - headin' for the WI S.P. headquarters in Spooner.. Next time I go by that headquarters I'll take a gander over there and see if there's a Guzzi hangin' from a tow-truck's boom..
If so, I'll stop in with condolences, then buy ya a brewski when you make bail..
