When I lived in Center City Philadelphia, I would eat at a particular
Italian restaurant near my apt. Whenever I rode one of the Guzzi's and
parked in front of the restaurant, the owner always wanted to buy me a

of wine and talk about Moto Guzzi's and Italy.

It even gets more fun! Three times I have been stopped by strangers who
look at the bike who were from Italy. My favorite was an elderly man who
walked past as I was loading on some grocieries. He paused, walked back
and asked "Is that a Honda?" No, I say. It's a Moto Guzzi!

I'll never forget the look on his face! He put his hands together in a
praying kind of pose and started in...(heavy Italian accent) "Oh! Moto
Guzzi!(proper hand jestering here) Moto Guzzi isa da best motorcycle!!
The polisa use thema back home. They are a so quite, that they sneaka up
on you.! Oh, I love-a the Moto Guzzi" And on and on. We talked for a
short while about the Guzzi and where he was from in Italy.

We shook hands, and I waved as I rode off. He waved back, with a big
smile on his face.
