Do you welcome interlopers? I would like to possibly stop by just to look at the bikes.

Last year, it wasn't just us Guzzi Rally attendees at the campground - there was a group of guys on an "eclectic" collection of bikes (everything from Panhead bobber Harleys & Airhead BMWs to a big KTM) there for at least two days. So, yeah, "interlopers" seem to be welcome.

I'm going to be visiting the area starting June 21st. My brother and I will ride up from NC on Saturday to visit the rally, then head back to NC, pick up the vintage trials bikes and head back to VA for a trials on Sunday.

Hopefully Pat hasn't forgotten what her old T3 looks like.

Thanks Bob. Registration will be headed your way soon. I have not made it to the Virginia Rally since it moved. Now that I have a bit more time, I'll be getting down there.

Looking forward to it!

Normally we'd take you up but we have to get back to load up the trials bikes for the Sunday event.

Thanks for the warm welcoming for the sight see’ers. I would love to come by and just meet some of the great guys here on the forum. I’m good for a donation offer also for the opportunity to just come and hang out a bit.

Guzzisti,
The official policy (as declared by the grand phoo-ba....me) is:
Anyone w/an interest in or curiosity about Moto Guzzi Motorcycles is always welcome at any Guzzi event in Virginia
If you're reading this you qualify, so preregister, just stop by, what ever....come on out to the rally.

Sending my registration and payment later today. Just made my reservation at the Blue Ridge Motel.

NC Steve · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2018, 07:53:11 PM »

Okay, I'm in too. Registration form's filled out, and'll be mailed with a check in the morning.

See y'all in a couple weeks +, and ride safe, everyone.

redhawk47 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2018, 01:04:09 AM »

Check is in the mail.
I was heading to Richmond, Virginia for a blacksmithing conference (abana.org) starting on June 26th. When I saw this rally on the schedule for the weekend before.... Hot Damn! I can do that too!
I am looking forward to both events.

Only if you bring your Ducati and provide test rides ;)

swooshdave · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2018, 08:12:01 PM »

Going to bring some of my brother’s bikes which will be just as interesting.

I'm in. Proud to accompany rjamesohio on his return to moto life.

Also, my first rally in 10-odd years, having lost a few extra pounds

Huzzah!

See everyone Friday. Looks like it will be nice weather, but on the warm side. Still on my GS, so no Guzzi for me this year... Bill

Some of the most fun I've ever had was waiting out bad weather.

Rain or shine I will be there tomorrow afternoon.

The Virginia mountains in the summertime? I already know the what the weather will be.

"Partly cloudy and hot with a good chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms."

And I don't even have to look at the forecast!!

The showers are there just to cool you off and wash the bikes.

As promised we visited the rally and met some nice folks and saw some great bikes. I’ll follow these pictures up with a video at some point. Thanks to the nice Virginia Moto Guzzi folks for letting us stop by,
