What does the average Guzzist do for a living?

I 'm just curious, since Guzzi's aren't the "cheapest" bikes in the market, I was wondering what kind of jobs the Guzzists have.

Starting of myself. I'm an international truckdriver here in Europe. Sitting on my ash allday (not working is off ;) )

Make sure the ash is really dead and cold before sitting down on it all day, otherwise it'll really be a case of

you were young
you burnt your lips
and lapped it on your lars

now that you're old
you'll burn your bips
and sit down on the blars

(sorry guys, a bit of famous Double Dutch that seemed appropriate here :silly:)

To answer your question: ask me again in a month or so... :$
 
Since I'm new on the forum, I haven't read the subtitle of the 24/7 lounge very well. Keep it light (I didn't with my truck) and fun (I didn't talking about work.) :huh:
No double Dutch in that....
 
Wow! You're as nosy as I am!:laugh:

In this working lifetime(the last few years).... I'm an advertising salesperson. Formerly a sporting goods merchant (owner for over 20 years), a scuba instructor... etc.
 
Apart from not being average (bad joke. :blush: emancipating from the Pythons) I'm an electrical engineer, working with light and enlightning. In some way. :dry:
 
Hmmm, sure ... so that's unfeasibly large with internal skeleton or something?

And does it explain the attachment to Guzzi and not to BMW? ;)
 
I would say that there is not an average guzzi rider. The Man that introduced me to Moto Guzzi was a school teacher, my mechanic is a BMW to MG convert. I'm a Cinematographer and Steadicam operator in film and TV.
 
Oh, that's funny! Long ago, I had a math teacher who rode a white Moto Guzzi (must have been '79-'82 or so, in my memory it looks like an EV Touring). When I started looking into biking, the brand name came floating up in my mind, and the rest is history :)
 
Officially, I test enterprise software for a large US software company. In actuallity, I get to point out to other people that they have broken stuff in the product and then wait around while they (supposedly) fix it, so I cna find more broken stuff for them to fix. This is in the hope that I and my peers find all of the terrible stuff so that our customers don't, thus reducing our support calls to an acceptable level. I am pretty good at this.
 
Most of us seem to exist on one or the other ends of the bell curve. I spend my days trying to turn the dregs of society into taxpayers.
 
..yea I'm with Allen on this one. I don't do anything..err, other then watching Ropers videos. When I was gainfully employed I worked for the City of Los Angeles as a Water Construction Specialist. After 33 years I told them " take this job and shove it ". I think the only reason I got the job is because I rode a Guzzi to the interview;)

Click to expand...

....while I spend mine keeping the dregs away from the real taxpayers.......
 
dunno what that is (memorial to ET and Close Encounters of the 1st kind? :D), but it's nice.

However, I'd always thought that carpainters are, you know, the persons who make cars change colour so the bad guys don't recognise them anymore? :p
 
I have been employed for the last 20 years as a midget who makes a reasonable living in the porn industry, mainly with large breasted ladies.
