OK You got me started!!!!
I put on a traveling Moto Guzzi enthusiasts meet and greet monthly luncheons. I put on annual campouts at my place in the country (7 acres with two creeks, firepits, etc etc), ive tried to put together a holiday (Christmas party) for four years straight with no luck. I get two-three attendees at most of the traveling monthly lunches. They cover a four state (Alabama Georgia, Tennessee and sometimes North Carolina) area.
Nobody comes! Nobody wants a Christmas party. Nobody wants to come campout at my place (RV's allowed for all the no tent people) Heck i even have an extra bedroom and other interior sleeping space.
NOBODY COMES!
February traveling meet and greet lunch is scheduled for tomorrow 7 Feb 26. I expect three people counting myself. Marchs is in Loudon Tennessee and I expect two people. April is in Waynesville NC and i expect three people. May is a campout (NOT A RALLY) in Suches Ga, at TWO motorcycle campground and i expect two-three people.
I have not scheduled a summer campout at my place for 2026 or a Christmas party in Dec of 2026 because of no interest. I have a facebook group of Moto Guzzi enthusiasts that i manage and there are 269 members of which maybe 8-10 are active or post anything in it. Its called "Southeastern U.S. Moto Guzzi Lunch Riders" if any of you would like to join. The same three or four people show interest in things but THATS ALL!
All of my events (Other than the monthly traveling lunches) are completely free. Donations are accepted if you want but not expected.
Now why dont other Guzzi riders partake? I have no idea but they just dont. I will continue to put on my events until I start eating/camping and having christmas parties by myself at which time i will stop organizing them.
I live outside of Cleveland Tn (Out in the country). Im just a short ways from excellent riding roads, the Ocoee river, etc etc. Its frustrating.
It seems to me even participation on this wildguzzi webpage is down but that just might be me mistaken!
Lets see..........who here would come to a traveling lunch held in either Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, or Tennessee? Who wants to come to my place for a Guzzi campout and sit by the fire telling stories, eat a lot of food and ride the local roads? Who would come to a Moto Guzzi Christmas party? Lets see who or how many from this board are interested in any events? Very few i bet.
I will continue to organize moto Guzzi enthusiasts' events and i still hold out hope that attendance will pick up. Hope to see some of you come out to my events. Yep sometimes its cold, sometimes its wet, sometimes its a long ride, but you can always take your car! Heck i met a bunch of BMW riders last year at a local restaurant who traveled all the way from the east coast just for a lunch meetup one day. Granted some of them were staying a few days to check out the area but they showed true commitment to get togethers!
I wish Guzzi riders were like that! LOL. All the best. Bob
