My Guzzi and Watsonian 10 years ago.
Going to put a clutch in it before spring.

The weather did break here in CT the other day. It rained really hard, (enough to wash the roads), and warmed up a bit so I road tested the Triumph/Watsonian. It went down the road just as I'd hoped.
No head shake, plenty of power, it stops pretty straight, all good.
Now the roads are covered in de-icer again, but... the snow and ice cleared out of the woods and our dirt bikes are filling in nicely!

Very cool.  
That is one, if not the best, looking sidecar rigs I’ve ever seen.

The weather cleared up here also, and was getting ready to take moto guzzi out.
A friend happened to stop by, and warned me.
The guy that has that orange v rod.
Said he did it the first year he had it.  
New Year’s Day.  Brand new bike.
Told me, even tho most of the roads are dry,
salt and cinders got all over it.
And he just never got it looking just right again.

I put it back in the garage, reluctantly, and wondered,
“What the hell is happening to me?”

I mean, was a time id get a bike dirty just because it looked too clean.

Somebody get me a doctor.

I need an anti pussification vaccine or something.

Thanx, It gets my eye everytime I go by it.
