Dear Guzzi Friends
This is Goffredo from Anima Guzzista and I writing to you concerning the difficult situation of Moto Guzzi.
This time is very serious!
I will spare you the political blah-blah but the simple truth is that the actual owners are slowly killing the Moto Guzzi Factory in Mandello.
At present the very survival of Moto Guzzi has become very uncertain as the company ownership is actually emptying the factory in order to transfer the whole production to other premises of the Piaggio group, leaving just a representative empty facade in Mandello. After almost one century, the 57 at Via Parodi no longer will be the house of Moto Guzzi.
The technique is a classical: behind the tag of "reorganisation" and "optimization" they have cut in half the work force, and are now ready for the final hit and emptying completely the site.
The redundancy plan has been in place for two years almost continually now. The workers are facing a constant nightmare.
This cannot happen in silence! Moto Guzzi must continue its existence, and to do so it must remain where it belongs.
This Saturday, 19th September, there will be an International Rally to support the workers of Moto Guzzi in Mandello del Lario where thousands of motorcyclists will attend.
Motorcyclists from France will show their support gathering in Paris on the same day.
We ask to all the friends of Moto Guzzi worldwide to show their support!
This is how you can help:
during the rally, I will be in connection via phone or skype from Paris with the rally in Mandello. The Mayor of Mandello will contact us to show how the support to Moto Guzzi is international.
It will be great to tell them that, as a sign of support, the symbol of the rally (see the link below) is displayed worldwide, from Australia to the US.
So print out the attached symbol of the rally and take a picture of yourself holding it! Then send me back your message with the picture attached!
We will than show the picture and list all the Guzzi friends worldwide during the rally.
Please help Moto Guzzi survive. Act now!
If you share our feelings, circulate this information to motoclubs and press!
Thank you very much,
Yours Sincerely,
Goffredo
