Thank you TOMB.
I was hoping to make it, but sissy that I am 230 in the dark and questionable weather kept me home.
I'm guessing: Was Randy Tefft there? That man can get to anywhere on time, w/clean hands & good humor.

Randy wasn't  there , at least the time frame i was.
Steve Rossi made the trip, i met some people that i only see there for some odd reason.

Good guys , good  food, great bikes.

I want a new bike but i have other priorities that come first, so the Convert will last another 50,000 miles. Shame i won't ,I'm only 73 years young .

Ha Ha.

Jim and crew are simply as good as it gets.
When I need assistance or something done that I cannot do it's 405 miles for me each way.  I don't begrudge it one bit.

Randy? Well, his 2012 Stelvio was/is there...on the floor in the Hamlin Showroom. Selling "used," for an incredibly reasonable $3,800! Complete with 3 hard bags...

Yeah, it's got 81,000 miles on it...but it'll do twice that. I'm told that it rides like a nicely broken-in Guzzi should, with no foibles. And, it looks great!If I didn't already have a 1200 Sport with Norge bags, I would have bought it by now.

Randy moved on to a V85 TT...

Last summer, I bought my latest Norge from Jim Hamlin (a new 2016 model--the next to the the last new one available in the US).

We talked on the telephone while he was out of the shop at a camp-out and agreed on a price. I gave him my card information over the phone for the deposit, and we handled all the other arrangements telephonically and through the mail. I arranged for a shipper to pick it up and deliver it across the county to me in the PNW.

It was all very easy, and Jim was great to work with. I wish I could take the Norge to him for service.

Hey! Ride East to Keene New Hampshire Fair Grounds for Moto Guzzi's 2021 - 100th Anniversary - MGNOC National Rally. Jim will be there with his crew and several hundred MG fanatics. Just sayin'.

Well, I sure am happy to hear that.  I had a great time at the 2015 MGNOC national in New Hampshire.

That was my first Guzzi rally & my first long trip on my '15 Stone.  Met lot of great guzzi owners.

Of course I had know Jim for a long time before that event.

Can't wait...
