dlaing Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I use to proudly pronounce it goootseee, and happilly correct people, but then I got lazy and started letting people call it gooozeee, and then it got worse and I also started calling it gooozeee, and then I started riding my gooozeee around really slowly like it was a sow's ear on meds, but then I read this thread and said, enough is enough! It is time to get out and RIDE that Moto GoooTSeee!!! ....and call it by its proper name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Mac no matter how you pronounced it,we wouldn't be able to understand you! After 4 years with my Glaswegian girlfriend and I dont have a clue half the time in what she's saying! Ah, time to break out the "English-Scots" dictionary then, and yes you do have to pay special attention to Glaswegian vs Edinbroughez, you'll know you have the right one if it contains a reference to the ancient and time honoured Scots marshall art of " fa-que" as to the correct pronounciation of "Guzzi" it is as stated, and as told to me by a very serious Italian gentleman in his 80's who was admiring the sound of my Tenni told me that..."Ahhh, THATS'a motorcycle, ....ahh thats'a sound .....magnifico" "Goo-tze"...best said all rapped up in your best Italian accent, right shoulder slightly hunched, your right index and pointer fingers against your thumb with a slight up-down motion while saying ... "Moe-toe Goo-tze" Cheers Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormsedge Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Si,si . . . in a sing-song manner as Alice Agostini would . . . MO-tuh GOOT-zee But Docc, don't you find yourself often slipping into Tennessean, dropping the "T" to say "GOO-ZEE"? So much easier for the girl at Tractor Supply Company to understand. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan M Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 "Goo-tze"...best said all rapped up in your best Italian accent, right shoulder slightly hunched, your right index and pointer fingers against your thumb with a slight up-down motion while saying ... "Moe-toe Goo-tze" Cheers Van Right on the money Van. Doesn't hurt to have the Brando-like scratchy throat sound either. Although depending what region your family is from, any number of fingers can be pulled together with the thumb for proper visual aid. It is also note worthy that the more fingers that are joined, the more up & down motion is needed. Example: If you have all 4 fingers touching the thumb there should be four downward strokes in rhythm with the syllables 1) Mo 2) Toe 3) Goot 4) see. It there are only two fingers used, join them only on the last syllables, indicating that you feel the person is not a complete idiot and can pronounce "moto" on their own without any instruction. Also, just to fine tune, depending on how close you are to the individual, a slight fore & aft motion of the hand helps. I'd like all of you to practice this in your spare time.
