is not what you drive, the drive is like ...
Did you know that there is a trophy reserved for Moto Guzzi? I honestly no, I discovered last month when, after six years of work in the same company, I met John, an engineer little younger than me and colleague. Do not make those faces!! The company has 1200 employees spread across two different settlements, and John and I work at a distance 80 km.
physical separation, united by the same passion.
John has a unique mode of locomotion, a Moto Guzzi Breva 750 marked by time and daily use. Four times a year starting from Finale Ligure with backpack on his shoulder, rather than arriving at Adria Magione, mirrors and dismantle the stand and take part in the matches. Incidentally, this year is leading the class up to 750cc. Then, Sunday evening, mirrors and stand in their place, dall'autodromo again and go home.
imperative at this point to organize, with great difficulty, a half day at the track in Castelletto, John arrives at 8 am, rain suit to witness the water taken in Liguria. Dismantle the mirrors enduring the contempt of the nearby paddock, mounted on a KTM motard new again in Monza that asks us how to do a run with a thing so heavy. Then finally in a turn.
trust John with a Breva 2009 in Mansfield
I stop immediately, the Aprilia is unfortunately not yet in place. I watch John turn on a bike that does not emit any runore (standard exhaust), and that relations with the road not taken even speed on the straights. On the other hand, just give it the gas in the corners, as I discovered after three overs near the paddock ...
Some adjustment path after an exchange of ideas produces a pitch of 1:32 'a thing so heavy in the bottom of the right fails to reach 110 km / h, but in the morning semi-desert gets behind a road 600.
o'clock forgive the mirrors in the shower and go back home, John certainly proved by the morning, I certainly happy to have a new friend, a pilot.
One of us ...
