Last time I was going through there....huge forest fire.  The fairgrounds was packed with fire fighters from other parts of CA.  "No room at the inn".  The motels were crowded with residents.  I started in Canby, OR in the morning and I was looking for a room.  The desk attendant suggested Reno for a room.  Since it was close to Dayton, NV.  I rode through the night to the campgrounds for the NV State rally.  Saw my son at UNR and headed south ultimately to drop my bike off in PHX.  Richard came up from PHX.

I got word of this rally a week ago. There wasn't too much information at that time. I haven't had a chance to read the newsletter yet. I will be attending as I live an hour and a half away.

I was headed to the meet a few years ago when it was in the redwoods outside of Santa Cruz when the #1 cylinder on my Ambo blew a whole in the piston. Not a good place to have trouble on the 405 in the dark during early morning rush hour. I like to go to this one in Susanville but, I desperately need a hip replacement as it is very painful to ride. A matter of fact, I have a difficult time even getting off the bike after 100 miles let alone 700+. But, I may be there.

I would really...REALLY like to go...but I need to get one of my riding buddies to join me...

Sedona to Tonopah - first night - stay at the historic MIZPAH Hotel.  Tonopah to Susanville the 2nd night...stay 2 nights, (Fri. / Sat.)...leave Sunday again for Tonopah!

(Photos from May 31st, 2019) - our last ride to Tonopah!) :thumb: :cool: :boozing: :thumb: :wink: :smiley:

Joanne & I will be at this year's NATA rally in Susanville.  Anyone who can - try riding the 140 miles of twistys on route 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna near the coast - or opposite direction.  Amazing ride:
 https://www.motorcycleroads.com/motorcycle-roads/california/twisty-road-next-140-miles-california-route-36  I've ridden this route 3 times and it always makes a great adventure.  Stop at the roach coach at "Mad River" for a juicy burger & shake about midway.   :food:

Susanville?  That's pretty much the poster child for Middle Of Nowhere.  Closest I ever got was the Honey Lake Bomb Disposal Site back in 1994.  Which ended much better than it could have  :laugh:

No green skies in the "Valley of the Sun", but due to the low humidity, just "ocean blue skies", most of the time, even when it is 100+ degrees!  Like this!! :thumb: :cool: :wink: :smiley:

Bill, the Big Sur highway closure is supposed to end over the next two weeks.  By the end of April.  You should be able to do the whole thing in advance of the rally.  Instead of looping back, there are some terrific ways to cross back over the coastal mountains and return north without retro-routing.  Let me know if you would like further coastal routing advice.  Heck, you might even want to stay with us.

That is good to know. I have been blocked by fires ( the Malibu Rally), mudslides, mechanical issues and once, ungodly cold weather with freezing fog predicted. I guess I will try again this June. We really like Pismo Beach at the South End of  the PCH, so might try to work that in.

Unfortunately I live an hour and half from Susanville and go there often so the ride there will be "been there done that". But hanging out with a bunch of motorcyclists will be well worth "enduring" the short trip. But I will be doing some longer rides this summer. Planning on Broken Arrow.

What are the temps like there in June?
Title: Re: Guzzi Rally in Susanville, CA
Post by: Moparnut72 on May 23, 2021, 01:38:47 PM
Can get in the low 40's at night. 30's possible but unlikely. 80's and 90's during the day. Low 100's are possible. I had 28 a couple of nights ago, I am not far away, about 80 miles. More forested however than the high desert of Susanville. Just bring a Hoodie or a jacket.  If camping a warm bag. You can call me if you like. Leave a message, I will call back. I don't answer unknown calls from unknown numbers. 530-816-05fourfour.

Just a news report. Local news source is reporting that the CHP will be doing heavy enforcement on State Route 395 due to the high number of crashes, injuries and deaths on this highway. They will be working the hwy from the Oregon to the Nevada borders. Mind your speed on this road, lots of long straight stretches, easy to lose track of how fast you are going.  See you all in a couple of days.

Fabulous Rally and beautiful venue...A few photos of Guzzisti people from all over the place! :thumb: :cool:

* 1772 miles round trip!
* Moby Dick, (my 2014 Victory Vision), averaged 45 MPG (@ 75-80 mph)
* Burned about 39+ gallons of fuel
* We about EXPIRED on the return trip to AZ.  103 degree in Vegas at 8:30am.  105-107 degrees from Hoover Dam all the way through Kingman.  95 degrees in Williams / Flagstaff felt pretty good!

Beautiful up there in Sierra Nevada's (Susanville, CA). Snow capped Sierra's...Truckee River flowing nicely
Will compile and send photos later. 70 bikes showed up (mostly Guzzi's) at the Rally.  Good to catch up with my old Guzzi buddies from 12 years ago when I lived in Pleasanton, CA.

Thanks for posting photos! Looks like a great time and a beautiful place.
Yeah, it’s been friggin’ hot in the west. It’s going to be a hell of a summer.
What’s the bike in the last photo, the “329”?

Just a V7 Custom my buddy Jimbo recently bought...

"329" was the previous owner's racing number at Bonneville Salt Flats, "Pepperoni Brothers Racing"
