Tex and Bundy go Guzzi!

On June 27, at the head office of Moto Guzzi importers, John Sample Automotive (JSA), General Manager, Kris Matich presented Tex and Bundy with the keys to a brand new Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX, which will be used by the pair as they attend community based events and bring awareness to various charitable causes.

Why a Moto Guzzi this time around? Tex explained.
"Being no stranger to big bore Adventure bikes and having covered many miles on them with "Cash", my previous dog and more recently with Bundy, I decided that it was time to park my road bike and look at a new Adventure bike that would suit the T&B team.

"We needed comfort, a long range fuel tank, large storage and load carrying capacity, simplicity, reliability, handling and a shaft drive. It also had to be a bike that stirred the soul and that would be a good talking point at the event we attend.

"I looked at the market and read as much as I could about all the contenders but very soon it became a 'no brainer' sort of choice, as everything we wanted in a bike was there in the Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX."

"It has that soul stirring character I was looking for as well as being a brand steeped in tradition and one that you won't find parked on every corner!"

JSA General Manager, Kris Matich said, "Tex is a highly accomplished and experienced motorcyclist and we admire the significant commitment he makes to fund raising for a number of worthy charities.

"We are very happy to be able to play a small role in assisting his activities. I also know that with the very extensive kilometres that Tex and Bundy travel each year that he is the ideal ambassador for Moto Guzzi to demonstrate the capabilities and reliability of the Stelvio NTX."

Tex and Bundy average around 80,000 kms per year as they zigzag across Australia, helping to raise around $500,000 each year for various charities. They are Official Champions of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and are the Official Ambassadors for Project KidSafe.

The pair actively visit schools and attend events throughout Australia to promote the KidSafe message and bringing awareness to a number of other charitable causes through their travels.
