Buffalo Trace has a free (Guzzi content) tour, and it's a good one. Four Roses. Beautiful horse country winding roads.

THAT might be a worthwhile trip, I'm itself.

There was talk of heading Heaven Hill this year. In my experience it's not been done by the rally crew,at least not in the last 3 years.

At the World Spirits competition in San Francisco in 2018, their limited bourbon, Henry McKenna 10 yr old Bottled in Bond Single barrel won Best Bourbon, this year, the same bourbon did something only one other bourbon has EVER done...it took Best in Show over ALL whiskeys.

I think that puts it square in our sights, eh Chuck? Maybe we go Friday as a small group, leave the spirited tire rounding run for Saturday.....It'd make for a solid 140 miler...

[Chuck in Indiana]

That just may be a plan. I *think* Dorcia could go that far..
Willet is right next door to Heaven Hill, from memory.. an interesting single copper still distillery.

[John Croucher]

Dry, 90 plus degrees all week end. 70 at night.

[Chuck in Indiana]

Apparently no winter gear needed..

Or --- I could take Dorcia in the Vette.

That gave her a big smile. She'd love it.. she's the "car guy" in the family. Thanks

^^^^^^
It's hard to find good help any more..

Does that mean you're taking a run over there?

I know it can be done because a fella from Mena Ar. got the long distance award from out Ohio Rally. Proof you folks from the other side of the river can go East.

It's a really nice rally. I don't think you would regret it.

John Henry

Yes, Sir.   Should come rolling in on Friday.

[Chuck in Indiana]

Allrighty, now! Which 1400 are you riding? 

[kballowe]

Allrighty, now! Which 1400 are you riding? 

Actually, they called late today and said that the Eldo is "fixed".   Assuming that is true - then it'll be making the trip

[kballowe]

And I am still accepting license plate donations for the license plate "wall"

  Hey Kipp, I think Todd is wanting to led a ride over to Heaven Hill on Friday. I'm hoping to feel up to leading the ride on Sat.   JohnB

That sounds great John, on both fronts. Looking forward to seeing you and yours.

John and or Todd.

Just a heads up. There are a couple of Guzzi Rally newbies showing up today. Pat Corrigan and Jay. I've given Pat enough info to get going in the right direction once they get there today. Pat is getting his first service done today at Cadre' so I don't know when they will arrive. Jay made his first Guzzi Rally attendance in Ohio. Pat has only ever day tripped in but both are not strangers to rallies.

Make sure you give them both a hard time prior to my arrival.

See ya Thursday.

Especially Jay on the hard time. Trust me, he can take it and more. A very interesting and funny person. (Extremely full of BS though)

Safe travels, everyone!  Wish I could go, but it's dull boy activities for me this weekend.

All work and no play makes Jim a dull boy?  We'll miss you. The Kid decided he didn't want to deal with the ant farm round Chicago at rush hour(s) last night, so they are leaving Wisconsin this morning. We'll probably be in late in the afternoon.

Uh huh.

See you in the morning!!

I would like to thank all of the KY crew that put in such a heroic effort to make this rally such a success.  With much of the days in the 90 degree range, our wonderful chefs were standing in there preparing hot food.  I personally appreciated the constant supply of cold drinking water like never before.  Also, to my other friends who attended, did anyone else notice the improvement to the shower area?  Kudos to Sloan's for bringing demos of the v85tt, v7 and scooter.  I think the demo bikes were running non-stop on Friday.  Finally, a personal thank you to the gent who exchanged a cold beer with a warm beer for on Saturday afternoon when it was desperately needed.  Can't wait to see you all again for the 20th and maybe it will feel like autumn next year.

That was cool of Sloan's to do that.  Who came with the bikes?

[blu guzz]

I am sorry, but did not catch names.  2 guys.
