IL 2024 Bring Your Owen Everything May Campout
« on: April 07, 2024, 04:51:44 PM »
This is a highly laid back affair for Guzzi riders who like to camp out for a night or two, have good safe fun and enjoy life.  Located along the eastern bank of Old Man River,  home to presidents,  Lincoln, Grant, Reagan and Obama!   Camping is primitive, although upgrades are available, and comfy under the stately swaying pines.  It's bring your own everything so pack as needed.  Grocery store and bars are just a few short miles away, should you forget something.  Camping is less than $10 a night, and free to those 62 and over, at least that was the case last year.   You don't have to ride a Guzzi, inferior brands will be welcome too.

You forgot to list that there is RV there too for those that HAUL then ride(hint, hint). Some rallies never die but just change form. Must be the folks that keep going on-----------------------
Many very nice roads on the river.

It doesn't appear so, I checked the KFD facebook and there is no mention of one.

We really are just a small group of good natured folks who ride Guzzi and appreciate kindness and a sense of humor.  If that sounds like you, pack up and come on over.

  Hello Chad. Will there be anybody there Friday, late morning, early afternoon? Like last year I'm scheduled to work all weekend and naturally nobody will cover for me. Thanks, Paul

They should be there right now. Guy's I know were going today, HA just can't get enough. AND what a way to start off the rally season.
I may just raise a few shots in that direction tonight. Rough day at the office, 2hrs in ATL traffic on the way, 3hrs home. Worked 1hr, rode 2 vintage bikes. Good customers are worth the trip. Duck 750 round case & Eldo GT(green)
