If you are not an aviation nut, that won't mean much to you. I like phrases like that... I suppose that is why I bought a new custom tee shirt (long sleeve so I can ride with it) that says on the back: "Moto Guzzi Stelvio". I will wear it when I go to my local pub and sit at the bar. Back to the aviation themed phrase... Bucker Jungmanns were the primary trainer for Luftwaffe pilots in the 1930's. Skyotes are an airplane developed in the 1970's in the US... a nimble, homebuilt design that had a loyal following. Moto Guzzi Stelvios are an Itali... well, you know that. I saw someone wearing the shirt that said "Skyotes Eat Buckers" at a fly-in, and I was quite taken with it. Just shows how we all have our niches in life, and tend to not venture far afield. Today, I pulled up to a gas pump and there was a 50ish Harley rider gassing up. I noticed his bike was a Softail, and since I have owned both a 2001 and now own an identical 2017 Heritage Softail, I struck up a conversation with him, asking him what year it was. We chatted for a while and I mentioned that I was really a Moto Guzzi man, and he got a curious look on his face... he asked if that was a kind of oil. No, No, it is an Italian Motorcycle brand, I said. They have V twin cylinders like a Harley, but turned like this, as I proceeded to show him with my hands. He had another curious look on his face and said nothing. I suppose that the next Harley rider that I have a conversation with, I shall tell him that I ride a Bucker Jungmeister... the sport model. Maybe I should start selling tee shirts that say "Stelvios eat GSs"... No, would only sell a few. But! "GSs eat Stelvios" might be a best seller... well except that most GS owners probably have no Idea what a Stelvio is. "GSs eat Buckers"... Hey! That's the ticket! Lee in New Mexico
