Throttle Company Moto Guzzi Dealer in Columbus Ohio - 2025 V85 TT presentation - Fresh ohttps://www.v11lemans.com/forums/topic/31305-throttle-company-moto-guzzi-dealer-in-colombus-ohio-2025-v85-tt-presentation-fresh-out-of-the-crate/ut of the crate -

I have not seen the video Pete is referring, but I really do not think Dylan is the same guy.

Throttle Co. is local to me and I have been there a number of times.  I have had service performed there and my father in law bought his Royal Enfield from them.  Dylan, his dad, and Nicole started as sellers of vintage bikes mainly from the 70s and 80s and grew into a Royal Enfield and then Moto Guzzi dealer.  They are a really good dealer to have around as they do a lot to spark interest and inclusivity in the motorcycling community.  They host weekly bike nights (Fridays), promote other venue's bike nights, host weekly bike mornings with free coffee and donuts (Saturdays), host regular larger bike rides including camping trips, and have fostered an all female local riding club called the Lolitas.  Many of the rides they organize are beginner friendly.  During the winter months they also host monthly 'moto movie madness' nights, where they set up a projector and show a bike related movie and provide snacks.  All at no charge.  As said, it would be very surprising to learn that Dylan was going on and on about Christianity in a video.

As I said. It may not be the same bloke. Looks very similar though.

Don't know about that, Pete -- and hope not -- but will say that the "factory door" is -- as @gstallions noted -- a grand enthusiast's touch.

 

 

I am thinking that the Moto Grappa needs something of that sort.  

I may even call him and ask who and how they did that.

Best,

Bill

 

Yes, some dreams never die.  

So ... there is the Moto Grappa, home of my Guzzi moto-harem.  Fewer now than in this pic four years ago, parading on the occasion of Moto Guzzi's 100th.  

 

 

I mentioned my (quite possibly loony) plan  over on Griso Ghetto, and "Street" worked up this mockup.  

 

 

Yee ha!  Looking into options to execute now, e.g., @p6x's mural approach.  

Obviously, if this happens, there will be a party.  Last time I had such an event -- in Atlanta, for the christening of the GarageMahalo 20 years ago (gasp) -- the local Peroni distributor helped wet down the festivities.

 

 

If the "Moto-Duomo Doors" happens, count on a similar event at the top of Virginia.  

This post constitutes your invitation.  

Bill
