OT How to be a good Republican
How To Be A Good Repubican
1. You have to believe that the nation's current 8 year prosperity was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday's gasoline prices are all Bill Clinton's fault. 2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. 3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. 4.

You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor. 8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the deathpenalty. 9.

You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit. 11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. 12.

You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads. 18.

Harry,
I guess that is why he is not asking you about your Moto Guzzis. "HarryKrause" wrote in message ... No one cares about Moto Guzzis or whether the person you are questioning had one, rode one, crashed one, or urinated in the fuel tank of one. It's not a brand of bike I would even consider, if I were considering buying a motorcycle. It's a has-been line. |
wrote in message oups.com... How To Be A Good Repubican 1. You have to believe that the nation's current 8 year prosperity Last 8 years, eh? Finally you admit that we've had prosperity the entire time that Bush has been office. was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday's gasoline prices are all Bill Clinton's fault. 2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. There are a lot of privileged Kennedy's who screwed it up big time by raping and murdering. Privilege doesn't breed success. Good child-rearing breeds success. 3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. Social Security checks are simply a rebate of your own money. Of course they should be on time. 4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs. Some people are overweight due to genetics. But, yes, smokers and over-eaters who are obese deserve their disease. And the vast majority of AIDS victims do to. 5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun. I don't own a gun. I don't need a gun...even if you came down to try and spit in my face. 6. You have to believe...everything Rush Limbaugh says. Haven't listened to Rush since 1996. 7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor. No they can't. In fact, Bush favors immigrant labor to work jobs that others won't work. 8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the deathpenalty. I oppose the death penalty...and homosexuality. 9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes. Actually, growing up black or minority actually increases your opportunities for scholarship money and admission into top-notch colleges. It's called affirmative action. 10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit. Nobody believes pollution is OK. What our side disagrees with your side on is the accuracy of the Global warming claim, and exactly how much impact CO gases from cars really have on the ozone layer. 11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. You can pray to whomever you'd like. But prayer should be part of school during solemn moments (ie--after 9/11, after the shuttle explosions, etc) 12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands. Who cares. 13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio. Chinga te cabron. 14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins. Republicans were teenagers once. We know better. 15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out. 16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton. Jesus hates Clinton? Why? Is he a homosexual? 17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads. Those are about the only good things government does. They provide the infrastructure, and protection against threats...both domestic and foreign. 18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher. Even if he's rich and white with a disciplinary history and failing grades, he doesn't belong in an elite private school. |

NOYB wrote: wrote in message oups.com... How To Be A Good Repubican 1. You have to believe that the nation's current 8 year prosperity Last 8 years, eh? Finally you admit that we've had prosperity the entire time that Bush has been office. I take it you can't comprehend when this was written? Hint: there are more clues below.... was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday's gasoline prices are all Bill Clinton's fault. 2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. There are a lot of privileged Kennedy's who screwed it up big time by raping and murdering. Privilege doesn't breed success. Good child-rearing breeds success. Once again, you've totally missed the point, or has chosen to ignore it. 3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. Social Security checks are simply a rebate of your own money. Of course they should be on time. But, it's still a government program, and the republicans are against government programs. 4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs. Some people are overweight due to genetics. But, yes, smokers and over-eaters who are obese deserve their disease. And the vast majority of AIDS victims do to. What a compassionate person, I'm certainly glad you decided to make false teeth for the elderly, as opposed to doing dental work that would require some compassion. 5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun. I don't own a gun. I don't need a gun...even if you came down to try and spit in my face. Oh, don't tell your fellow republicans you don't own a gun, they'll kick you out. 6. You have to believe...everything Rush Limbaugh says. Haven't listened to Rush since 1996. Yeah, sure, I've seen you use his quotes right here. So, Hannity's your new guy? 7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor. No they can't. In fact, Bush favors immigrant labor to work jobs that others won't work. False. 8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the deathpenalty. I oppose the death penalty...and homosexuality. You're too narrow minded to understand that homosexuality isn't something that someone desires. I'll bet just about any gay person would rather not be that way. 9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes. Actually, growing up black or minority actually increases your opportunities for scholarship money and admission into top-notch colleges. It's called affirmative action. So, growing up in a slum, having to support your ailing parents by selling drugs because there's no honest work there, affords you a better opportunity than growing up in a successful, upper middle class or higher family???? 10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit. Nobody believes pollution is OK. What our side disagrees with your side on is the accuracy of the Global warming claim, and exactly how much impact CO gases from cars really have on the ozone layer. Yeah, only about 99.99% of scientists believe and understand the impact of global warming. 11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. You can pray to whomever you'd like. But prayer should be part of school during solemn moments (ie--after 9/11, after the shuttle explosions, etc) Why? If my child is raised an atheist, or agnostic, why should he or she have her education disrupted every day by prayer? 12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands. Who cares. That's odd, you seem to think Clinton is evil for just the same thing, and you righties bring it up in almost every discussion about him! 13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio. Chinga te cabron. See? Point made. 14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins. Republicans were teenagers once. We know better. 15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out. 16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton. Jesus hates Clinton? Why? Is he a homosexual? ZOOM, that went right over your head, didn't it? 17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads. Those are about the only good things government does. They provide the infrastructure, and protection against threats...both domestic and foreign. Oh, so you DON'T like Bush's policies? 18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher. Even if he's rich and white with a disciplinary history and failing grades, he doesn't belong in an elite private school. You COMPLETELY missed the point there! |

If you know how to use a search engine, you can enter "moto guzzi" and "desmo" and get hits that verify the existence of Moto Guzzis with desmo valves. You'll even find photos of Moto Guzzi engines so equipped. Oh, you perhaps found a Moto Guzzi engine that had been modified by some individual. The fact that you find many sites with both Ducati and Moto Guzzi together does not mean that Guzzi ever produced a "Desmo". But, I'm willing to learn about this model. Please show me a 'Desmo' model Moto Guzzi. -- John H. On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD |
Kevin,
I am curious, with all the good motorcycles available in the US, why did you buy a Moto Guzzi 'Desmo'? "John H." wrote in message ...

Yeah, I hear the "Desmo" version left a lot to be desired. Be careful, if it was a real 'Desmo', then it was a Ducati. Harry thinks Duc's rule.

On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD Sorry, John, but you are apparently out of your league here, if you don't think that Moto Guzzi made a Desmo, before Ducati. WAY out, apparently.

I realized it was written during Clinton's watch. So why would you post something that is almost a decade old? was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday's gasoline prices are all Bill Clinton's fault. 2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. There are a lot of privileged Kennedy's who screwed it up big time by raping and murdering. Privilege doesn't breed success. Good child-rearing breeds success. Once again, you've totally missed the point, or has chosen to ignore it. Chosen to ignore it. 3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. Social Security checks are simply a rebate of your own money. Of course they should be on time. But, it's still a government program, and the republicans are against government programs. We are. Stop taking the FICA deduction out of my check every two weeks and I promise not to whine if my Social Security check doesn't arrive on time 30 years from now. 4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs. Some people are overweight due to genetics. But, yes, smokers and over-eaters who are obese deserve their disease. And the vast majority of AIDS victims do to. What a compassionate person, I'm certainly glad you decided to make false teeth for the elderly, as opposed to doing dental work that would require some compassion. 70% of my production is from crown, bridge and implants. 8 % is from removable prostheses like dentures. 5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun. I don't own a gun. I don't need a gun...even if you came down to try and spit in my face. Oh, don't tell your fellow republicans you don't own a gun, they'll kick you out. 6. You have to believe...everything Rush Limbaugh says. Haven't listened to Rush since 1996. Yeah, sure, I've seen you use his quotes right here. I've never quoted Rush. Go ahead and look in the archives. So, Hannity's your new guy? Hannity's more palateable, but I don't listen to talk radio and I don't watch the talking heads on TV. The only time I turn on the TV is to watch fishing shows and Ship Shape TV. I get my news from news sources on the internet. 7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor. No they can't. In fact, Bush favors immigrant labor to work jobs that others won't work. False. True: " I ask Congress to reform our immigration laws so they reflect our values and benefit our economy. I propose a new temporary-worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing employers when no Americans can be found to fill the job. " (Bush 2004 State of the Union Address) 8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the deathpenalty. I oppose the death penalty...and homosexuality. You're too narrow minded to understand that homosexuality isn't something that someone desires. I'll bet just about any gay person would rather not be that way. 9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes. Actually, growing up black or minority actually increases your opportunities for scholarship money and admission into top-notch colleges. It's called affirmative action. So, growing up in a slum, You automatically equate blacks with slums? Interesting. having to support your ailing parents Only blacks have sick parents? by selling drugs because there's no honest work there, Only blacks sell drugs because they're incapable of working an honest job? Your stereotypes are very telling. affords you a better opportunity than growing up in a successful, upper middle class or higher family???? 10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit. Nobody believes pollution is OK. What our side disagrees with your side on is the accuracy of the Global warming claim, and exactly how much impact CO gases from cars really have on the ozone layer. Yeah, only about 99.99% of scientists believe and understand the impact of global warming. 11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. You can pray to whomever you'd like. But prayer should be part of school during solemn moments (ie--after 9/11, after the shuttle explosions, etc) Why? If my child is raised an atheist, or agnostic, why should he or she have her education disrupted every day by prayer? We're a nation whose laws were built on Judeo-Christian values. Not convinced? Then consider this: On the Supreme Court building, there is a sculpture entitled "Justic the Guardian of Liberty". The sculpture is a symbolic representation of people representing civilizations from where our laws were derived. On that sculpture are three prominent figures: Moses, Confucius, and Solon. Moses is holding two tablets, believed to represent the tablets on which the 10 Commandments were written. The symbolic message is clear in this sculptu much of our laws were derived from the 10 Commandments. The lower portion of the doors leading to the Supreme Court have two tablets on them. On the tablets, you can see the Roman numerals I through V and VI through X...once again representing the Ten Commandments. In the Supreme Court room where the Justices meet, there is a frieze with several figures on it, one of whom is Moses. Moses is carrying a tablet again. This time, Commandments VI through X can be seen on the tablet...with the Commandments written in Hebrew. Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher . . . whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777. John Jay, one of the framers of the Constitution, was appointed by George Washington in 1789 to be the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (and later served two terms as governor of New York). He wrote: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers". 12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands. Who cares. That's odd, you seem to think Clinton is evil for just the same thing, and you righties bring it up in almost every discussion about him! He's a sleaze, but that's not why Congress impeached him. They did it because he lied to a Grand Jury. 13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio. Chinga te cabron. See? Point made. Glad I could help. 14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins. Republicans were teenagers once. We know better. 15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out. 16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton. Jesus hates Clinton? Why? Is he a homosexual? ZOOM, that went right over your head, didn't it? Zoom, right back at you. 17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads. Those are about the only good things government does. They provide the infrastructure, and protection against threats...both domestic and foreign. Oh, so you DON'T like Bush's policies? I like the Highway bill that just passed. I like his military buildup and other policies. And I feel adequately protected from crime. I love Bush's policies. 18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher. Even if he's rich and white with a disciplinary history and failing grades, he doesn't belong in an elite private school. You COMPLETELY missed the point there! |

BUT, if you'd like, I can post statistics that bring that would certainly show that "blacks and minorites" DO make up the bulk of arrests for drug sales. affords you a better opportunity than growing up in a successful, upper middle class or higher family???? 10.

You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. Social Security checks are simply a rebate of your own money. Of course they should be on time. But, it's still a government program, and the republicans are against government programs. We are. Stop taking the FICA deduction out of my check every two weeks and I promise not to whine if my Social Security check doesn't arrive on time 30 years from now. Nah, you'll just whine about something else, like some democrat getting a blow job. Ooooh. Good comeback. 4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs. Some people are overweight due to genetics. But, yes, smokers and over-eaters who are obese deserve their disease. And the vast majority of AIDS victims do to. What a compassionate person, I'm certainly glad you decided to make false teeth for the elderly, as opposed to doing dental work that would require some compassion. 70% of my production is from crown, bridge and implants. 8 % is from removable prostheses like dentures. Yeah, uh huh. Another well thought-out response. 5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun. I don't own a gun. I don't need a gun...even if you came down to try and spit in my face. Oh, don't tell your fellow republicans you don't own a gun, they'll kick you out. 6. You have to believe...everything Rush Limbaugh says. Haven't listened to Rush since 1996. Yeah, sure, I've seen you use his quotes right here. I've never quoted Rush. Go ahead and look in the archives. So, Hannity's your new guy? Hannity's more palateable, but I don't listen to talk radio and I don't watch the talking heads on TV. The only time I turn on the TV is to watch fishing shows and Ship Shape TV. I get my news from news sources on the internet. Is there a point you're trying to make? If so, you've failed. You said I quoted Rush and Hannity. I don't listen to them, so if there's any similarity in what any of us say, it's purely coincidental. Or perhaps they are quoting me. Maybe they're lurkers on rec.boats. There ya go, Kevin....there's your and Harry's new conspiracy. Smithers is Rush in disguise. 7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor. No they can't. In fact, Bush favors immigrant labor to work jobs that others won't work. False. True: " I ask Congress to reform our immigration laws so they reflect our values and benefit our economy. I propose a new temporary-worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing employers when no Americans can be found to fill the job. " (Bush 2004 State of the Union Address) Oh, yeah, like everything Bush has stated in speeches is true??!!!!!!! Then show me someplace where Bush said that he opposes legalized immigrant workers working in jobs that Americans won't work. Can't find any sources? Didn't think so. "We will get Osama binLaden dead or alive". "Osama isn't a concern, I'm not worried about him". Which of THOSE was true? Both. Eventually we'll get Osama dead or alive. Right now, he's not the primary issue at hand. 8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the deathpenalty. I oppose the death penalty...and homosexuality. You're too narrow minded to understand that homosexuality isn't something that someone desires. I'll bet just about any gay person would rather not be that way. 9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes. Actually, growing up black or minority actually increases your opportunities for scholarship money and admission into top-notch colleges. It's called affirmative action. So, growing up in a slum, You automatically equate blacks with slums? Interesting. Where did I say that? You mentioned blacks and opportunities. We started arguing about the opportunities which blacks have that whites don't (affirmative action, etc). Somehow your mind automatically equated blacks with slums. I just find that interesting. having to support your ailing parents Only blacks have sick parents? Where did I say that? If you want to seem credible, you should try sticking to the facts, instead of trying to put words in people's mouths. We were talking about the opportunities for blacks vs. whites. You're the one who generalized and stereotyped by talking about "slums" and "ailing parents" and "selling drugs". Blacks don't have a monopoly on any of those things, so why even mention them in a discussion about the different opportunites available to blacks vs. whites? by selling drugs because there's no honest work there, Only blacks sell drugs because they're incapable of working an honest job? Your stereotypes are very telling. Where did I say that? BUT, if you'd like, I can post statistics that bring that would certainly show that "blacks and minorites" DO make up the bulk of arrests for drug sales. Well, then that explains why those blacks may have a harder time taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities in front of them...'cause they screw it up by doing something illegal. But what does this have to do with your argument that blacks don't have the same opportunities as whites? affords you a better opportunity than growing up in a successful, upper middle class or higher family???? 10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit. Nobody believes pollution is OK. What our side disagrees with your side on is the accuracy of the Global warming claim, and exactly how much impact CO gases from cars really have on the ozone layer. Yeah, only about 99.99% of scientists believe and understand the impact of global warming. 11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. You can pray to whomever you'd like. But prayer should be part of school during solemn moments (ie--after 9/11, after the shuttle explosions, etc) Why? If my child is raised an atheist, or agnostic, why should he or she have her education disrupted every day by prayer? We're a nation whose laws were built on Judeo-Christian values. Not convinced? Then consider this: On the Supreme Court building, there is a sculpture entitled "Justic the Guardian of Liberty". The sculpture is a symbolic representation of people representing civilizations from where our laws were derived. On that sculpture are three prominent figures: Moses, Confucius, and Solon. Moses is holding two tablets, believed to represent the tablets on which the 10 Commandments were written. The symbolic message is clear in this sculptu much of our laws were derived from the 10 Commandments. The lower portion of the doors leading to the Supreme Court have two tablets on them. On the tablets, you can see the Roman numerals I through V and VI through X...once again representing the Ten Commandments. In the Supreme Court room where the Justices meet, there is a frieze with several figures on it, one of whom is Moses. Moses is carrying a tablet again. This time, Commandments VI through X can be seen on the tablet...with the Commandments written in Hebrew. Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher . . . whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777. John Jay, one of the framers of the Constitution, was appointed by George Washington in 1789 to be the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (and later served two terms as governor of New York). He wrote: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers". And all of this makes it okay in your book? I suppose that in Iraq, their government bowed to Muslims in just the same way, yet you seem to think they are less than human. Deciding to follow the teachings of that evil man Mohammed, and commit horrible acts in his name is what makes them less than human. 12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands. Who cares. That's odd, you seem to think Clinton is evil for just the same thing, and you righties bring it up in almost every discussion about him! He's a sleaze, but that's not why Congress impeached him. They did it because he lied to a Grand Jury. Then Newt's a sleaze also! Yep. 13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio. Chinga te cabron. See? Point made. Glad I could help. 14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins. Republicans were teenagers once. We know better. 15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out. 16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton. Jesus hates Clinton? Why? Is he a homosexual? ZOOM, that went right over your head, didn't it? Zoom, right back at you. Hate to disappoint you, but no, I fully understood the statement. No, you really didn't. 17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads. Those are about the only good things government does. They provide the infrastructure, and protection against threats...both domestic and foreign. Oh, so you DON'T like Bush's policies? I like the Highway bill that just passed. I like his military buildup and other policies. And I feel adequately protected from crime. I love Bush's policies. Really? You totally agree with the 6,900 pork inserts in the bill, huh? Figures. You wouldn't say anything bad about a BushCo bill if your life depended on it. Lemming. As a whole, I like the bill. It's going to send money down my way for much-needed widening of I-75. |

[Frantic searching going on!] I don't think I said Guzzi *didn't* make a 'Desmo' model. I've just never heard of it, so I asked for some facts to back up a claim. I'm still waiting for the facts. If you put "moto guzzi" and krause into Google, you'll get over 4000 hits, so I guess they made a 'krause' model also (using Harry's logic!). -- John H. On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD |

One might think an ex-Army Corps of Engineers ossifer who now teaches math would know how to set up a boolean search in a search engine, especially if a math-disadvantaged English major can do it. How about a belt-driven desmo valve train on a Guzzi? Here's one of 289 hits I got by putting together a proper search. http://members.chello.nl/~wgj.jansen/text/HPL.html Enough of this nonsense. I mentioned it earlier. Hans does nice work. But, it's not a Desmo model Guzzi. It's a one-of that most likely was *not* owned by Kevin. The Nederlands Moto Guzzi Club is the largest Guzzi club in the world. The American 'club' is not really a club, but a way for the 'president' to make money selling a magazine subscription. Of course, you know all this because you're able to put together a boolean search in a search engine. Try-- "moto guzzi" desmo--in your search. You'll find Hans' pictures easily.

No one cares about Moto Guzzis or whether the person you are questioning had one, rode one, crashed one, or urinated in the fuel tank of one. It's not a brand of bike I would even consider, if I were considering buying a motorcycle. It's a has-been line. Harry, it was your buddy doing the bragging about owning a Moto Guzzi. Why now are you trashing his taste in motorcycles? -- First, idiot, I didn't BRAG about owning a Guzzi. Simply stated I owned one once. And it WAS a piece of crap. Yeah, I hear the "Desmo" version left a lot to be desired. Be careful, if it was a real 'Desmo', then it was a Ducati. Harry thinks Duc's rule. Don't be stepping on his toes about your piece of crap Ducati! -- John H. On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD Sorry, John, but you are apparently out of your league here, if you don't think that Moto Guzzi made a Desmo, before Ducati. WAY out, apparently. Well, what year was your Moto Guzzi 'Desmo'? I'd love to learn more about it! -- Mine was a '71. Do a simple google search, I found quite a few hits, most in Italian. |
