What to do?  
Let them by - I never get to see a Guzzi and they look cool.
Get out of the way, their throttle is obviously stuck wide open.
Give up because I'm in the Accord.
Wake up because that could never happen except in a nightmare.
Look for where I parked 'cause I'm walking.
Envy him/her because they are having a good ole time.
Ask for test ride.  You never know.

So anyways....  maybe the problem is I get up too early but the only run-ins I had were with bikes of certain cruiser heritage, and a Ducati Diavel...
