 | Actually had a Moto Guzzi 50 there. It was a blast! Where and how I fell in love with riding. |
Comment History  | Moto Guzzis were cool, even the 50cc ones. Ducatis were cool. Anything with 125cc was way cool. Motoms were not cool. But they were cooler than a moped, and cooler than a Vespa. At least that's how we saw it. As for the clothes, we moved to Napoli from Albuquerque with a 6 month stop in Norfolk. Albuquerque style was West Coast surfer, about 2 years late - hence the hairstyle, jacket and pants. The penny loafers I picked up in Norfolk, where the rest of my clothes were roundly mocked - Norfolk style was East Coast preppie. |
 | But if you wait long enough, those dorky glasses, pants, jacket, hairstyle, shoes, helmet and (one-step-above-a-moped) bike all become groovy retro cool! Unfortunately, i just don't think we've waited long enough... (Sorry, John) |
 | Driving the most dangerous kind of vehicle in the most dangerous city for driving in the world. Dude, that's a notch above cool. The few of you who rode your iron horses to school and parked them in the lower parking lot with the teachers and staff while the rest of us were stuffed in busses. Serious moto envy.
On the other hand - the helmet is definitely dorky.,,,sorry for my cruel words. |
 | Some of the rest of us had to walk, so anything motorized was cool...even riding in the back of those three wheeled 'trucks'... |
| and with that 49cc engine, there was no need for a driver's license or a license plate on the bike... but the racing stripes on that jacket made up for it all! |
Original Post | Ok guys and gals... let 'er rip. Remember, this is high school. No need to NOT be cruel. |
