Why
was
I

of

a
variety
of

e-mail
not

or
a

or
maybe
a

What
can
I
send
to
the
MGCL?
As
a
rule
of
thumb;
anything
with
relationship

conscience
to
a
"mixed"
group
(all
ages,
genders,
and
cultural
backgrounds),
of
Moto
Guzzi
enthusiasts
face
to
face
should
be
fine.
Bare

mind,
we

You

ask
anyone
who
wants
it
to
contact
you
"Off

to
your

NO

Flood
of
jokes,
and
complaints

do
have
a
good
Harley
joke
just
say:

HD
joke,
e-mail
me

you
want
it.

to
those
who

a
real
Problem
in
the
past
and
you
will
be
fined.

you
develop
a
"Problem"
with
a
person,
cycle
dealer,
or
other
entity
Do
Not
Vent
your
problem
to
the
list
using
Names
or
Titles.
You
will
likely
be
inciting
slander. e-mail
is
a
legal
form
of
documentation.
Be
smart,
tell
a
story
without
naming
names
and
ask
interested
parties
to
contact
you
personally. Be
Diplomatic!
(Nobody

nothing
is
perfect,
every
once
in
a
while
you
may
have
a

great
experience.
That's
life.)

What
happens
if
I
accidentally
post
something
not
allowed?
If
your
Offensive
post
to
the
list
is
determined
to
be
unintentional
it
may
be
ignored
or,
you
have
the
option
of
paying
a
$5.00
"Abuse
Fine"
to
the
"List
Donation
Kitty"
to
apologize
for
your
words.
If
your
Offensive
post
is
determined
to
be
done
without
considerations
to
the
MGCL
common
courtesy
conventions
you
may
simply
be
Unsubscribed
or
suspended
&
issued
a
$10.00
Abuse
Fine
depending
on
the
nature
of
your
offence.
Because
this
situation
can
un-intentionally
happen
to
almost
anyone
we
will
ATTEMPT
to
extend
an
understanding
that

3
strikes

your
OUT. NOTE:

party.
An

How
do
you
pronounce
Moto
Guzzi?
The
same
way
you
pronounce
Pizza
like:
"Peets
Zah"
you
pronounce
Guzzi
with
the
(oo)
sound
in
(boot)
like:
"Goots
Zee".
"You
may
say
whatever
you
wish
because
its
your
bike.
However,
you've
asked
a
technical
question
and
there
is
NO
technical
variation
for
this
pronunciation.
The
name
is
Italian.
The
Italian
language
is
characteristically
full
of
double-consonant
words,
not
just
names.
In
such
circumstances,
BOTH
of
these
consonants
are
pronounced
carefully
and
SEPARATELY.
The
double-consonant
"ZZ"
is
correctly
split
in
the
middle.
The
first
Z
ends
the
first
syllable
and
the
second
Z
begins
the
second
syllable.
The
first
Z
is
pronounced
equivalent
to
a
"T",
then
an
ever
so
subtle
pause,
then
the
second
Z
is
pronounced
as
"S"
or
maybe
better
"ZS".
So,
you're
closest
approximation
is
the
"peetsa"
above.
But,
try
to
slow
it
down
for
the
subtle
pause
as
maybe
"PEET-sa".
Note
that
the
accent
falls
on
the
first
syllable."
