I'm going to Cali. from Co. Will truck bike to Co. and if anyone wants to join me we'll put their bike on a trailer. Leave truck and trailer in Gunnison Co and head out to Cali. from there , Figure on 3 weeks in Cali. I'll be camping most of the time so prospective company must be self sufficient. Interested parties please call 919-967-7637. Leaving from NC.

Regards
Mark Tenney

Might want to include trip date to get some interest.

Quite an impressive adventure, Mark.
Create a blog, and take lots of photos if you can.
Most of all though, enjoy! ;-T

Mark's sort of like already done that, considering that he's been the MGNOC State Rep for North Carolina for the last 15 or 20 years ..... !

So this'll be a good trip, I'm sure!

Ahh, and I don't know him, nor he me.

You try & try, and sometimes wonder why...must say the zero count/new goose stats got the better of my generally helpful person :BEER:

I'll make it a point to visit his rally next year!

It's often hard for me to process the fact that there are many dedicated, hard-riding, high-mileage, rally-attending Guzzi riders that have never even heard of WildGuzzi ....

.... but don't let anything stop you from being helpful!! ;-T

Lannis,

Thanks....all of my Guzzi time is in New England, and they're a hard riding, rally attending, great bunch of folks....as are all of you here. I'm coming g back from a 4 year dry spell from Kodiak Alaska. Alas, sold myJackal due that little side trip. June is shaping as a busy month, and had hoped I'd be able to attend Meadows of Dan, after the National.....but that might be too much of a stretch for me this year, time wise. So, am eyeballing next year.

Very best regards, and hope to shake your hand some day and do a few miles down the road with you and many others here.

Take good care!

Lee

I've known and ridden with Mark almost since 91 when I bought my first Guzzi.
Mark is an accomplish and fast rider. So if you are considering going with him expect spirited and fast riding. Not that I do not like Mark when I have travelled with him and his wife. But I am always a distant 3rd. Mark is a good rider for sure but I do not ride beyond my comfort zone.
Have a good trip Mark and hope you find a good partner.
Harvey

Mark,
I will be at my getaway in Eastern Plumas County 5/21-5/25. There are some epic roads nearby and a marvelous Frank Lloyd Wright building a mile or so down the road at Nakoma Resort. Let me know if you are in the area. Buck.

Dang! That timing doesn't work for me. I could have shown you some *great* California roads.
Try to have a good time.. ;D

Thinly disguised bump.
Hanging out with Mark and riding in the mountains for 3 weeks?? It'd be the trip of a lifetime. I *really* wish I could do it. He's a good guy and a good rider. You'd probably even stay out of jail.. ~; ;D
