It started years ago when my dad bought a police Eldo at the Highway
Dept surplus sale. Like a dirty magasine, I'd take it out to enjoy when
dad wasn't home. He sold the bike, but I was smitten. I found one for
myself just a few months later. I didn't realize it it, but I was
already addicted.
Now, I eat, drink and sleep "Moto Guzzi". I MUST have anything and
everything that relates to "Moto Guzzi"s. Now, my insaishable(sp)
desire(need) for these things has gotten out of control! I can't pass up
a yard sale without thinking,'I know that's the one with the Guzzi for
sale". I must drive by and check it for guzzis.
Saturday, I saw a Guzzi parked infront of a pickup truck at the head of
a driveway. I left a note asking if it was 'for sale'. I needed this
bike! No, I had to have this bike!! Well, now I have this bike!!! A late
'73 police Eldo. Chrome fenders! Floorboards! Extra lights!!! Oh, I
feel GOOD. Now I just gotta make room for it! Where to put it?? What to
eat(or not eat) as I stare at it and clean it up a little. What to tell
the electric co. when they ask where my payment is.? Oh well. I have a
fireplace, so at least I can stay warm...
So now I have THREE Eldos and a G-5. Is there a cure? Do I want to be
cured?? Why am I at work instead of slobbering all over my newest
Guzzi???? Oh, I pick it up Sat. One week from the first time I spied
her.
