Hi all,
Just a quick word of thanks to Matt for reminding me how funny the movie
"Raising Arizona" really is at the New Mexico rally. I watched it again
last night. It's fun to see my stomping grounds in a movie. Also, the part
where his borther-in-law Glenn is stopped by a hiway patrolman, and he
says, "Glenn just told one too many Polock jokes" as officer Kowalski
reaches for his pen, is too funny! That cop is my good friend, Bob Stien.
He also had a bit part in 'Starman'.
Now the guzzi stuff. I will start tearing down Mr.MaGuzzi this weekend to
repair the broken shift return spring. I am really dreading this. I
strongly dislike wrenching! I talked with a guy who advertised in Walneck's
who buys Guzzis, and told him I may sell everything- lock, stock and barrel
for one set price. He seemed interested as he asked for pictures. I will
keep the G-5, and maybe buy a 1999 EV, that I will look at this weekend.
If anyone here is interested in buying two complete Eldos, one 72 footpeg
model(Blue Floyd),(engine completely disassembled) one 73 model(licenced as
a 74)with floorboards and big bars,policestand,crashbars...and a 73 parts
bike with spare engine, tranny, wheels, fenders, tank.... and LOTS of spare
parts..drop me an e-mail. No, I WILL NOT part out.
I have not yet decided that I AM going to sell the loops,but..........a new
bike would be way cool.
