 Tell us your best memories of 2014 .

 Mine were mostly centered around NARs , Cedar Vale , Luap's deal , David and Colleen Welch's Arkansas camp out , the Okie C.O. . Not forgetting the great weekend spent at Delrod's place in Pittsburg KS .

1 CV , the folks who made the trek from as far away as California , made our gathering in the wilds of S.E. Kansas so wonderful . Even 'Truck had a good time , despite a minor crash .  Cricket the rally dog seemed to enjoy it  ;-T
2,Luap"s deal was grand , even the band was fun . Nice visit with Steve Walker and Chett R .
3 Arkansas C.O. David and Colleen did a stellar job with this , really fun , the food was incredible . Thanks to Delrod for letting me stop 3 times in the last 45 miles as I was falling asleep on my bike .
4 The Okie C.O. was a soggy wet mess , and yet no one complained . Thanks to GJ for the use of the dry tent . The boys from Ohio even had fun , despite being cooped up in the camp ground . Doug did an amazing job of getting every one fed .
5 Visit to Doug's in Pittsburg was enjoyable and his lovely wife fed us well . Thanks guys , the tour of town was grand .

The arrival of my new great niece , time spent with Jay in SS , and my long visit with Lowryter are right up there also .

As wet as things were, we had a great time. We visited several Guzzi friends along the way, both there and back. Rode a ferry across the Mississippi. Got a tour of Fayetteville Ar. and Springfield Mo. Dodged a lot of rain drops. Had a real nice visit with JN. Laughed a lot. 

It was a high point for the 2014 season! Thanks Dusty and everyone who put the time and effort into the gathering.  ;-T

1) Riding the unpaved Swisha Road in Quebec on the Nuovo Falcone - 200+ kilometres of pure pleasure

2) Humming along the Trans-Taiga Road, Northern Quebec - perfect weather, good company, endless rocks, trees and lakes

3) The moment when I realized that the little filter at the carb was the reason the NF would only travel along the Chapleau Highway in 4 kilometre chunks.

4) Finally getting the new valves and guides installed in the NF and hearing it start first kick.

5) Many shorter solo rides with no traffic, nice scenery and interesting roads on older bikes which satisfy the spirit.

6) The satisfaction of riding up to the Ontario Guzzi Rally with Doug with both bikes (750S & 74 California) performing flawlessly

If I were to pick my single best ride time it would be the ride down to Daisy State Park to David Welch's rally near Hot Springs, Ar. About 90% of the trip was curves and hills. The ride home was good too, over Mt. Magizene with Delrod and through the Boston Mtns. in a steady shower in the rain gear. David and Colleen did a great job too.

My best memory was of the 3 week ride I took through the Rockies. Rode on some wonderful roads in northern NM, all over CO, and in southern WY. From 1972-1985 I lived in Albuquerque and rode MC's all over the western US. However, on this trip I managed to ride on roads that were totally new to me. Had a great time; plan to head out west (from Kentucky) again next summer.
