Thankfully, the New Mexico Guzzi Rally is ON for 2023
« on: March 21, 2023, 08:35:44 AM »
Mark you calendars! :thumb: :cool: :wink:  (As posted in the MGNOC newsletter)





Matt said last year was the "WETTEST" Rally he has seen in 30 years, but about 45 brave souls rode anyway! :thumb:  When the weather cooperates, there is no finer place to ride than Datil, New Mexico! :thumb:

A few photos from last year...

Hey JJ,
How about re-igniting the Cottonwood Rally?

Talking about a rally is easier than sponsoring one.   :tongue:  Nearest ones for you would be the NV state rally in Dayton, NV or Oregon if the state club sponsors one.

Thanks Danimal.... :thumb:

Well, I am 5 years retired now...and don't have drive / ambition / desire to put on any more rallies going forward. 
It's a helluva lot of work and out of pocket expense, as you might know... :rolleyes: :shocked:

However, I am more than happy to contribute and attend the annual Datil Rally in New Mexico, and the NORCAL Guzzi Rally in Susanville, CA in 2024.  The Dayton, NV Rally is also a good one and I have attended previously...The Oregon Rally near John Day is also a big hit... :thumb: :boozing: :cool:

Also, remember the SOCAL Guzzi Rally for a few years at Lake Henshaw, CA?  That was fun while it lasted...

For Arizona, suggest you contact and  "pimp" the current AZ Guzzi Rep, Jim McDermott... :wink:

JJ,
Is there lodging nearby that doesn't involve a tent?

We have a good time at the Dayton Rally. Laid back with excellent food. Susanville is a good time also.

JJ,
Is there lodging nearby that doesn't involve a tent?

If you are talking about the Dayton, NV Rally, YES, hotel / motels / casinos down the road in Carson City...

The same for Datil, New Mexico, motels in Quemado and Magdalena...and 8 rooms on site at the Eagles Next campground...

For the NORCAL Guzzi Rally in Susanville, CA, we stayed a mile away at a Best Western. By the way, THE NEXT NORCAL GUZZI Rally is not until 2024...

*** Saturday, April 22nd BUMP!! *** :cool: :boozing:

$50 entry fee for the rally...so usually about 70-75 people show up, if the weather is good!  :cool:

So your odds of winning the GIVE-AWAY bike are 1:75.  Last year it was 1:45 due to the rainy weather!  :thumb:

Much better ODDS than any state LOTTERY!! :wink: :wink: :wink: :thumb:

How about making a sticky for the upcoming rallies so they just stay up top!

This one, Wisconsin, Iowa, and all of the others...

Last time I went thru Pie town a couple of years ago and stopped for some fresh pie at that same spot...are they still operating?  I heard a rumor they closed down...

Good to know they are still operating...nothing like some fresh apple pie in Pie Town.

Sticky up the thread so you don't have to bump it all the time...otherwise people are going to get hungry seeing all of that pie!!

Looks like the shootings revolved around gangs. Another venue ruined for the weekend because of idiots.
