Just wanted to give JJ a shout out for a great time!!! As always the people make it what it is, and the bikes are the icing on the cake.

I got home last night about 8:30.  Left Sedona around noon.  Nice uneventful ride home, about 660 miles in all from Cottonwood, I went up and back down Oak Creek, so beautiful.

Made my first stop in Kanab on the way home, the Shell station was closed but the pumps were on, so I filled up the big girl and sat down for a little break, myself.  As I'm sitting there, a gentleman pulls up and asks if I've been at Cottonwood?  Ummmmm yeah I have, he asks how the ride was going and we get talking.  He had been following the thread here on Wildguzzi.  His name is Gary (sorry Gary, lost your last name), he's from Vegas and has had a few Guzzi's over the years.  He now lives in Kanab.  Great guy, he was former member number 4 in MGNOC, now is lifetime member 67 I believe he said.  Hopefully he will chime in here if I missed anything.

In short, it was great to see some old acquaintances and get to meet some new ones!  I hope to see some of you in Utah in September!

God willing, we will do it again next year!  Take care and ride safe. :thumb: :1: :cool:

Rare Kymco model!
The boys reward for tagging along was a visit to the Rock Springs Cafe!  Oddly, no pie was consumed. :tongue:

Hahahaha - Yeah, that seat on the Griso - that's the one.  Hard to believe one ugly seat could garner the amount of grief he got for that.

Hi jdg! As a rule of thumb, it is always the FIRST weekend in May...and we don't start the process until January....(usually after the big MECUM vintage MC Auction in Vegas....but no worries...God willing, we will hold another one in 2019! :thumb: :1: :cool:

Next Guzzi event for most of us...DATIL, New Mexico in mid-August! :thumb: :1: :cool:
