I was standing in the checkout line at a grociery store last night when
the guy behind me notices the Guzzi patch on the back of my jacket. He
says' Man, those Guzzis really blow me away with thier shaft and
reverse"
Reverse!!!????
I said Guzzi never had a reverse(o.k. maybe many years ago). He was
addadment!! 'Yes they did! On thier old police bikes! My dad was a
motorcycle instructor for the police dept. back in the 70's, and I
remember those old bikes!"
"Well, I'm restoring an old police bike right now, and it doesn't have
reverse". I told him.
"Maybe your thinking of the automatics" I says.
"Oh, yeah. Maybe that's what I'm thinking.
Well, at least he had heard of Moto Guzzi!!
