So

Does this forum contain everything Guzzi related?

 

If not: what is missing?

[jrt]

Bath soap?

Bath soap?

bad soap

Bath soap?

Yes, that's one. Do you find there's a nasty oily scum left around the bath after your Guzzi's been in there? Surely a shower is more appropriate?

I've been waiting all month for my Sport to bend over to get the soap so I can jump on.

 

No luck. She just sits on the battery charger and looks at me smuggly.

Well, if there is one thing Guzzi does well, it is smuggly.

Yours uses soap? I'm going to the garage to have a little rider-Guzzi chat.

– Remember, it's a labour of love and you want it to be smooth, creamy and oozy, not thick and stodgy. To quote Jamie Oliver: "This is an absolutely delicious recipe. It’s quite unusual, and the best thing about it is that it makes a hero of the much-underloved everyday cauliflower."

Hey, hey, whoa now. What are you trying to say here? I bath my Guzzi? I get hy with Gene? And let's not bring my dental floss into this. I'm about to harvest a fine crop- been riding the fences on my horse.

• On Steering a horse, or, Work your way through the conundrums of the man-machine interface.

Accusation A "Anything inherently stable you DRIVE, anything unstable you RIDE."

Observation B "Sometimes you'll hear pilot applied to motoryclists, as opposed to driver. Rider is somewhat passive, so doesn't convey the correct nuance."

Romantic Assertion (quashed) C "I've also heard people talking about piloting a motorcycle (as if they could fly)."

Wild Conjecture D "Driver is more correct, since motorcycles, unlike horses, don't have minds of their own"

Speculation E "I guess if your riding is just sitting on the back of something that goes its own way, then it might be... more accurately described as steering?"

Rebuttal F "If you are making a m/c do what you want, not what it wants (minded or not), then you are RIDING it."

Equivocation G "Riding & driving can be passive or aggressive."

Political Correction H "I'd never drive a motorcycles, them motorcycles kills everybody that rides."

 

• Start. The philosophy of getting to go and engaging gear.

Push and Jump, or bump? – "Push start is push or push & jump in gear & dumping clutch. Jump start is stationary, using leads from remote battery. In the old days, one would push start a passive motor car and one would jump start an aggressive motor cycle, or horse."

Jump, Dump... or Pop? – "Jump on the bike and pop the clutch..?"

Run alongside your wife? – "Push start is when your wife is along and she pushes: jump start is when you have to run along side."

Forget it – "The Convert has to get up to 34mph."

 

• Engaging thought. The hazardous uncertainty of things going wrong

Unresolved Question A "Could you say a driver rides a bike or would this be the sociolectic overkill? "

Unresolved Question B "What if you accidentally let slip a phrase like "a horse drives its rider crazy"? "
