does your Guzzi remind you of a plane?

I remember Guzzi used to use a photo of a bike parked in front of a biplane with the pilot's goggles hanging off the handlebars for its 1000SE advertising campaign in the early '90s. They definitely wanted to make everyone think about the Guzzi / classic plane connection.

 

When I lived in Hampshire I sometimes went to the Goodwood circuit which also used to be a Spitfire base during WW2. In between the racing, there would often be displays by the Spits, making an awesome spine-tingling roar as they took off just a few feet above your head. Sounded even better at full chat- I defy anyone with red blood in their veins not to be thrilled by the sound of a Spitfire being thrashed!

I thought it was hilarious! FYI the guy is Alain de Cadenet .
