Hi all, What was it Lannis said? Guzzi riders are crazy? |
Tom -
Hang on now, I ain't said all THAT, at least not where you could hear
it.....Here's the actual quote -
"And yet these Guzzi guys and girls will hop onto a collection of
Italian metal, plastic, and rubber bits that rotate, reciprocate, and
whirl about, and will treat this country like it's 300 feet across, and
they're just stepping across the yard to have a cup of coffee with the
neighbor. My butt's going numb right now just THINKING about it, and I
just involuntarily took my right hand off the keyboard and shook it and
flexed my fingers in sympathy...
The Guzzi rider figures it this way:
1) It's not going to break.
2) If it does break, I'll bet I can get it going.
3) If I can't get it going, I'll handle it somehow.
Think about how different that mindset is from what the average person
worries about and that keeps them from doing this sort of thing.
Anyhow, it's fun to be around folks like that and absorb the
atmosphere."
Now if THAT'S your definition of crazy, why you just count me and my
invisible parakeet Bud in....
