I know there are a lot of foks here who speak foreign languages. As a Moto Guzzi owner who USED to ride a BMW, I gotta know what the guy on the goose is saying!

I'd like the literal translation, but anything close would be appreciated.

I run the FR Motocycle Holigans Ping List, and believe me -- some of those bozos have a hard enough time speaking English.

Holigans = Hooligans. In English.

My girlfriend says the top line roughly translates to "Not my type," but her translation of the next line didn't make much sense, so maybe she's wrong on the top line too.

Hmmmm...

The electronic translator say it is...

"Most we warlock white guzzi Z slouchy joški."

Somehow that does not seem correct.

A man walks in to a store and says "Can I have a Polish sausage?". The clerk says "You're Polish sir, aren't you?". The man says "Yes, I am. But that shouldn't make a difference.If I asked for a taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? If I asked for a brautwurst, would you ask if I was German? If I asked for pizza would you ask if I was Italian?". The clerk replied, "No, sir. It's just that this is Home Depot."

I want to send this to a friend who still has a BM but wants a Guzzi. I guess that will work.

Sure would like to know the literal translation though!
