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!! The Arizona Kid Tom Short AZ MGNOC Rep Phoenix, AZ |
