Where's the sporty Guzz comment?

[belfastguzzi]

Guzzirider made a comment about catering (I don't mean - as in pies) for sporty Guzzi bikes/riders as there isn't a UK forum for that.

I don't remember which thread it was in. It's definitely an interesting notion.

 

Are there many meets in mainland GB for Café-classic type bikes? I guess there are. Ace Cafe and all that. I don't know of any over here (that doesn't mean that there aren't any). There are plenty of vintage-classic type of clubs/runs here, but I'd be more interested in something more... erm... sporty.

I've been past the Ace Cafe driving into London and although I'd probably stop by if I was in the area, its a bit of a shoddy place to ride to being on the edge of the metropolis.

 

I know the Ducati have their own Sporting Club

I'm not really a fan of rules or regulations and committees (get enough of that at work!) so maybe something informal would work well- meets, track days, rides out, supporting Guzzi racers etc.

 

I know I'm stereotyping here but some Guzzi owners are anti-everything apart from wobbling slowly (and sometimes dangerously) along on their bikes slagging off everything they don't like especially sports bikes, all probably down to jealousy that there nagging wife won't let 'em have fast bike, or they are too obese to ride anything apart from a cruiser. I have come across this holier than everyone else attitude a lot.

 

I'm happy to be in the Guzzi Club GB but it doesn't really cater for the sporting end of riding- its more of a social and rally thing, although saying that I know a fair few members who do like to ride their bikes hard either on the road or track.
