Pete,
That's a good response you gave to Kev's 1st place story. It is not always
easy to be a Guzzi man, anyways here in Rochester, NY. The closest Guzzi
guy around is Andy Hill and he's way over the next mountain. Helloooo Andy!
My specific gravitational pull around here is not HD but BMW which all my
friends ride. (Maybe I ought to get new friends.) Anyway, still a Guzzi
man even though my bike still has gremlins to sort out. Bob Hawkes

It's held every last Wendsday of every month at a local bar. Nothing really vintage about it. Mostly H-D, of course, Everything is newer, nothing special. To give you an idea of this thing let me tell you that a buddy's shop sponsered it one of the first times it was held. He won 1st place vintage bike night with a 98 sportster, custom sure, still a 98 though. So anyways my pal Kevin(74 Eldo) ride there. We pulled up and got swarmmed. People gawking from in the bar as well as out of the bar. As soon as we pull up we were surrounded. Pretty cool. even well after the initail shock to these people was well over we still had crowds comming to look at the bikes. The buzz in the bar was "the two old Guzzi's...." I was beside myself, I've had that bike for years and have had no shortage of compliments, nods, interested buyers, ect. but never like this, we felt like damn celebraties.This took me by surprise 'cause I people in Detroit can't see past the bar and sheild of H-D. I was expecting some response but not like that. In the end Kevin and his Eldo took home first place. I felt like a proud parent. One of the guys up there asked the judge why the Eldo and not the Ambo. I guess the judge said he regretted not being able to give 1st to both bikes, and that next time the Ambo would walk with it, but he had to go with the Eldo because of the blk. engine and pipes. The Eldo beat out a 48 Indian that I thought was a shoe in, a 66 triumph, those are the only ones worth mentioning here, oh besides mine! A couple people came up to me and said I should of won. Whatever man! I did win last night. I have every bit of myself in that Eldo as Kevin does and to have my best friend walk away with 1st and to see the sense of pride and accomplishment in him beats any danm trophy. Pavin' the way for Guuzi in Detroit Kev Detroit surprised me last night. I learned that people here can get past the "Your not riding unless your on a...." attitude. Maybe there is hope for this town after all. Kev ============================================================ Search the largest used car inventory on the planet.
