The word is that again this year there will crudites that adds the coup de grace to such an outstanding rally.

Yep, Randy is here. Let the codswallop begin.

OK. Trivia question. Guess what unusual item Randy has in his saddlebag?

Paul:

As to this "Polish Poppyseed" bread you profess to possess. Is this the blue or white variety of poppyseed??

Are these poppy-seeds the nice stuff from the Q'reb highlands region of northeast Afghanistan? Or just cheap stuff you can pick up most anywhere in Pakistan?

Organic? Steel cut?

PJPR01 · « **Reply #66 on:** September 29, 2016, 11:03:06 PM »

For the first time in my life...I am stumped....all I know is they are tasty poppy seeds!!! I suspect they were specially harvested near the Khyber pass, carried by mule train to the western border where they were loaded into the trunk of a 1932 Pierce Arrow driven by Dirk Pitt.... And made their way thru Isfahan to The Straits of Hormuz, where they were lovingly handed off to a hyper fast cigarette boat up to Dubai, put on a plane to Wroclaw, Poland... Turned into a delicious poppyseed cake and sent to Canada... Where they were purchased by yours truly... Carried in my hand luggage and are waiting patiently to be shared this weekend with my Texas Guzzisti friends... The ones who can maKe it thru the gravel road entrance to the HQ of GRIT!!

It was a great weekend, thanks Beeevee for pulling it together again this year!! Food was great!! Venue was perfect!! Good to see all the Guzzi riders!!

PJPR01 · « **Reply #76 on:** October 03, 2016, 09:06:14 AM »

As always...another fabulous GRIT rally...we had perfect weather riding 2 up loaded with gear and it was great to have my riding buddy Tom (Nova on the Stelvio) along as well, super to see friends again and a big thanks to Tex and Beaver and Prescott and family for all the hard work putting the event together. My only loss...somewhere from 50 miles into the rally, my GoPro Session mysteriously came off the bike, so no video. If anyone found it at the Rally site, I'd appreciate letting me know.

Ages I think went from 2 to 75...so it seems like a new generation of riders is already being Guzzi-trained...

Sam serenaded us on the guitar with many a song, Huckleberry Junior (Two Wings) joined in his Basso Baritone and we all enjoyed the evening campfires. Fun to see many familiar faces and meet some new folks as well!

We had a great time...allow me to consume some of your bandwidth and share some photos here, I'm sure others will post as well:

How were the temp's? Safe to swim in the lake/pond or is that a holding pond for gators?

How many different ways can you say perfect... :) Couldn't have been better. No swimming...we let the pond stay in its natural serene state of bliss, with the fog lifting off in the early morning hours, mirror reflection of the surrounding forest.

The only missing Armadillo's were that Dusty and the Jackal didn't show up!!

Tom · « **Reply #79 on:** October 03, 2016, 06:32:28 PM »

Okay, so not hot enough for swimming.

SmithSwede · « **Reply #80 on:** October 03, 2016, 10:05:31 PM »

I am advised, by credible but anonymous sources, that Dusty has never once been to the Texas GRIT Rally in Lindale. Not once. As in never.

Before I cast aspersions, I'd like to hear from Dusty as to whether these allegations are true.

I think all the warrants are expired, except for that one pesky one

I haven't been to that rally since '99 and it pleases me to see how it's grown. I miss it, especially Turnip and the run to StJoeseph with Ace and the fellers afterwards.

Correct again!

Wow...Dusty has never been to GRIT...that does seem like a travesty...Prescott, you'll just have to work on him a bit this weekend. You guys enjoy the Okie and hopefully the fog is not too bad on the Scenic Byway. Give my regards to Queen Wilhelmina!

Talked to the Commander at the American Legion tonight and he put GRIT on the calendar for next year! SOOOO, mark your calendars for Friday September 29 - Sunday October 1, 2017. See you next year!

Sad to say it but I never got over there either 😕. And I only would have had to cross half of AZ, all of NM, and half of Texas to get there 😊.
