What's on YOUR horizon...?
« on: June 17, 2018, 10:35:37 PM »
Now before anyone tells me it's a long way off, I know.
A fraction over 1000 days, but I'm wondering how many members have decided whether they "will be going", "might be going" or "won't be going" to Mandello 2021 ?
I currently have a list of definite starters, it's climbed it's way up to 1 so far, but I'm hoping there'll be a contingent from the Moto Guzzi Club of Victoria, as well as representatives from other states.
I sure as hell won't be travelling in company, but will look forward to some spirited conversation upon arrival.
Anyone out there locked and loaded ?
I have my accomodation locked in, you could hit the front gates with a stone from Agostini's.

Bump.

The only thing on my horizon is those bloody rain clouds. They are spilling wet stuff all over everything. Hopefully they won't hang around for 1,000 days.

Not exactly a poll.
Just testing the water.

I reckon I'll be there Huzo along with 30,000 others. There was 15000 at the 95th so I reckon the 100th will double it.

While I love Italy, and I love travel, and I love history and I love Guzzi… I f***in' hate crowds, and 30,000 people in an Italian village all clamoring to walk through the factory... sounds worse than the Vatican in July heat.... just with less painting of Mary and Jesus.

The factory is on my travel plans in the future, though... just, not when it's so busy.
Old enough to say I've done it, young enough to do it again.

If I had the $ and my bills where paid, I'd go. I'd have to sell a bike and nobody wants this stuff.

Steve, our buddy Joeseppi aka Joe B, is planning on going.  Maybe if I can find a way to swing it, I might go with him!

As fun as it sounds I have to agree. All those people jammed in there will not be fun unless you're a really good pickpocket! Just my opinion of course.
The wife and I were at Como last May. I'd love to go back and see the factory and more of that area.
Maybe we need to have a WG Raid Mandello del Lario? Could be at a less crowded time.

I'm not surprised to hear you say that!
