Mrs. L. and her Motor bike

[Mike L.]

Here is the indomitable Mrs. L. and her new motorbike. Photo was taken behind the palatial "L" estate.

What's this got to do with khukuries?

This may help explain a later "for sale" post.

Dirty Old Man....gave his wife a Goose





For those of you who don't/haven't ridden, the bike is a Moto Guzzi, the Ferrari of Italian bikes, nicknamed "Goose", over here. When you tweak the throttle and dump the clutch, you WILL get a goose from your Goose. Couple of winners in that pic

Holy Toledo! Mike, that is a cool pic. It's nice to see that your wife is really doing great!

Better a Goose than a tough old hard ridin Bul Taco.

Great going Mike!!!! My cuzes husband had one of those some years back. Like myself he's too old and decrepit to ride anymore, I never did ride as a deep and profound impression was made on me at a very young age. I shouldn't say never, but the times I did ride were far and few between and I never did own a bike. The one & Only time I rode Leroy's old '47-'49 Indian with the side shifter was Once around the block Never taking it outta 1st gear and White Knuckled ALL the Way!!!!!
I don't know what Leroy done with his Goose he may even still have it, but I do know he was proud of that Scooter. So proud in fact that my cuz threatened to make Leroy sleep with the damned thing more than once to put it in her word's.
Leroy and me always had a great and wonderful time rippin his father-in-law a new one over the f-i-l's Goldwing.

Mike, you must love that goodlookin woman a lot to give her a motorbike. She looks to be the kind you can ride the river with.

Truth is, she used to ride behind me on my Guzzi.
I got so durned weary of her back seat driving, er, critiques of my riding technique that I suggested she get her own bike. She got a 500 cc Kawasaki and learned to ride. Some time later, she wants to move up to a bigger bike. I sent her to the local Guzzi dealer to look at a nice used 650cc..well, that's too small. The dealer (sorta like Uncle) puts the pitch on her...she puts...never mind... So now she has a big ole Guzzi and is grinning like a mule eating briars.
Married men will understand how these things work.
Problem is, she outrides me on the damn thing!

I handed my wife the dark Bisley single action in .41 mag. I had some 210 gr. semi-wadcutters loaded as practise rounds, probably not unlike what the .40 S&W makes in fps with a similarly weighted projectile today. We were in the desert and there was no one around. It looks pretty safe, I thought, in case she shoots wild. Grinning at her, I sat a pack of stale Ritz crackers in a soft earth bank, still in the wrapper with one open end. "Go ahead," I said, when I was back beside her. She really didn't want to. She liked the .22 She'd briefly fired the .41 on a previous occasion.

She let the hammer fall and the crackers popped out the top. She nailed them. Time and again. When it was my turn to shoot I couldn't seem to adjust the sight correctly and I kept missing...

I made the mistake of teaching my wife Harriet how to play scrabble. Haven't won a game from her since!

It is great being married to a woman who can share the fun with you!

Now if it only worked the other way...show her how the brake pad on the Ford truck is changed....

Hell of a bike and hell of a gal. Does she let you ride it?

 

[Mike L.]

No, Uncle, I ride this one.
Guzzis are like HI khukuries, classic, beautiful, well-made, and worth every penny.

[Bill Martino]

It's a beauty. I wonder if I could still hang on at 100? I'll bet I could.

 

[Mike L.]

Uncle, you know I always ride the speed limit

I never knew a biker who didn't.

Great picture, wonderful motorcycles, and a lovely woman. This is
great forum. Air-cooled twins are what god meant motorcycles to be.
I've got two old BMWs, much the same engine feedback and ride.

small warning though. A friend's wife asked one day, "WHY are there
THREE motorcycles in the garage?"

He replied, "Honey, there's just no room for another one."

We're all in this together.
