Van Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Well, I guess I must creep out of the closet now: Yes, the Tenni is a fine looking bike (boy, that hurts!) In fact, it was my second choice - Scura was and still is numero uno. In fact I have a cast iron model of both the Scura and the Tenni in my "Guzzi Hall of Fame" at work together with stickers from various rallies, a Moto Guzzi Club Denmark coffee mug and a poster with an 1100 sport, a 750 Sport and an Eldorado. I'm not going soft on the Scura, Belfastguzzi - it's still a fabulous looking bike and my choice for life (´cause I can't afford the MGS ) Ciao Søren 66929[/snapback] Hey Tikkanen !! welcome out of the closet and into the light, who knows, there might be hope on the horizon, Tenni's and Scura's sharing gracefully Cheers Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguzzi Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Just so that you colonials know, I flew the M.D. of Guiness North America to Chicago a few years ago, and he said that every draught pint of the black stuff sold in North America now comes directly from Arthurs Gate, Dublin, so it shouldn't actually taste different. Having said that, I never drink it outside Ireland-I think there are too many other variables, like how clean the pipes are, how it's poured,etc. God, what a boring post.

I had to agree it definetly tastes better in Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinness on tap? Very rare in my area. We are making some good beer in the US these days but finding anything but the mass marketed rice beer crap is tough in the boonies. Finding something like Anchor Steam is a big deal, finding Guinness is about as common as winning the lottery. All is not lost, I had a couple of (bottled) Anchor Steams with a very good steak last night, you just have to go to the "big" town a little east of my home.

ferguzzi Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, I can understand the frustration, I'm not a big fan of the US beers myself. My personal favourites are the really strong ie 9 or 10% belgian beers, but they're not available on draft here, although the bottled stuff is nearly as nice. Oddly enough, I was in Pasadena a few weeks ago drinking a belgian concoction called Goldn Draak, on draught, which was well yummy. But a little strong. as if that's a bad thing. Apparently the biggest Guinness brewery in the world is in Nigeria(?), and I've had it in Lagos, and it's not at all bad, but really strong too, I think about 7%. I'm getting thirsty now...
