It’s harvest time in the Garden. Moto-Guzzi parts and restorations are being harvested as we speak. No stomping on grapes in this Italian crop. Moe and the boys expertly restore pre-1975 Ambassador, Eldorado, V700 and V7Sport models.
Moe let us roam the garden freely to take some photos. Ryan was working on what looked to me like an Ambassador, however, I’m not nearly as well versed in the likes of Italian bikes as these guys. All I know is that they are super-cool classic bikes that is not the run-of-the-mill cruiser you see on the road today.
I found Cycle Garden when surfing the web and saw some great photos of what I learned was the “Guzzi Girls”. Moe, an avid photographer brings in models on a regular basis to shoot for his really cool website CycleGarden.com. Some are Penthouse Models and others just everyday girls next door. An entrepreneur to the bone, Moe has recently published an uncensored book appropriately titled “Guzzi Girls The Show and Tell-All Book” by Goliath publishers. Moe comments about the book: “Trying to capture the beauty of both objects, this is the obsession I live with. Getting that raw sex appeal onto an image is what I’m after. The soft curves and bumps of the bike, blending right into the soft curves and bumps of the girl that’s sitting on it. That’s the spirit of the Guzzi Girls – born to be wild!”
Be sure to check out all the fun with photos and videos of the shop, parts, and girls at www.CycleGarden.com. And when you call, let Moe know T-Bone from Blacktop Magazine sent you.
Arrivederci, Ciao bella.
