What does the average Guzzist do for a living?

I'm society's dregs. I avoid tax collectors and police sarge's like the plague. Roper's OK, though.
 
As little as possible, ie retired, from various jobs in the insurance industry. Recommend retirement highly, if you can afford it....

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

Luckily he explained what a carpenter does. (Karen and her brother) Like I wrote "ash" instead of "ass" in my first post. But ok English is not my first language and I haven't got a dictionary.
And as a fellow Dutchman you know that we had also a singing carpenter family in Holland. (Gert and Hermien :silly: )
But I must admit RJVB, your English is really very good. And your French too I guess, while living in Paris.
 
I only make remarks about spelling mistakes if they're too funny for me to ignore ;)

(btw, I've got a spelling corrector in my browser ... and I hate those wriggly red lines it put under words spelt incorrectly ... guess that helps ;) )
 
I'm a minister. Kind of special to be cruising through a beautiful piece of natural wonder up here in Canada and realize that the One who made all this also changed my life and made it infinitely better forever.

Go Griso, go!
 
Are Guzzis suitable to Pathologists? Because I spent most of my non-free time looking through a Nikon Binocular Microscope, examining every inch of your tissue-dysfunctions ..
After this, I surely need a-atleast-2 hours ride with a Moto Guzzi to get me well again...
 
And a volunteer producer of free CO2? :p

All nice and well, but are any of you with the exotic jobs hiring? In Europe? ;)
 
I am a non-contributing member of society. Just an overweight balding middle-aged white guy working towards full blown geezerdom. Not as flatulent as you'd expect, however.

My days are spent making coffee, checking Guzzi Forum, Ebay, clearing out pornos friends send in emails, working on the bikes, general shop work, pool leagues, and all around waisting time. On Wednesday nites I jam with an R&B band.

I would consider a position where I would do whatever I felt, whenever I felt like it, and my pay would be sent directly to my bank account.

During summer it's race time.

Life begins at retirement.

I'm retired but can't afford it. Formerly a Jaguar Mechanic and a Computer Networking Specialist. Now I help folks sell things through various on line venues.
 
Currently I am a house husband (I cook a mean batch of spaghetti, not so talented at folding sheets, but I did fix the community washing machine the last time I did laundry), waiting to go to Iraq as a Weather Officer in the USAF/MN Air Natl Guard (I tell helicopter pilots to turn around and come back if it gets really cloudy or dusty).

Technically, I am also a grad student at Iowa State U, studying to become a High School Science teacher (presently unable to take classes due to impending deployment). In the past I have worked as a farmhand, cowboy, corn detassler, carpenter’s assistant, internet/intranet cable installater, vacuum cleaner salesman, order verification paper pusher, plastic factory machine operator, mover, security guard/truck inspector, oil refinery operator…
 
I am sitting here waiting for the economic downturn to wipe the dopey half of my customer base off the face of the earth so as i can concentrate on servicing and making money from the rest who have the brains to stay afloat.
And it's slowly working:woohoo:
 
mostly hang out on the couch, watchin bootlegged Pete Roper vids. The other 3rd of the month I hang out at a fire station.

I'd wager you're a long ways away from the dregs I deal with...they would only be on a forum if they could scam or rob someone.....
 
I've done lots of things.

I started out in the Army. Lots of good adventure there but a few injuries cramped my style and future options.

Eventually I got a trainee ship as a surveyor and worked as one for a while as I like being outdoors and in remote areas but the social life was hell so I applied to a few hospitals and became a nurse to meet girls.

I got recruited to go to a few wars with the U.N. because of my military and nursing background. Again I was having a few "boys own" adventures. It is quite a good way to see all of the crappy parts of the world that tourists don't go to but what's wrong with tourists?

I started working in the Marine industry when I got home. I studied and worked and became a sailing instructor and vessel master for coastal stuff up to 80m. I worked on the great barrier reef and met lots of tourists.

Now I work for a the government dealing with a couple of boat harbours. I help to manage the maintenance of all the infrastructure like jetties, boat ramps and breakwaters.
