31ST ANNUAL WISCONSIN MOTO GUZZI RALLY - Jul 31 to Aug 2, 2015

I look forward to our next connection, don't worry, I'll have plenty of Mazola handy.

Your little MN buddy Aron might get jealous!

Ya know, it always rains at the Wisconsin rally. Didn't happen except for a light shower Thursday night. Don't know what was up with that. It was severe clear when we went to bed, and the same in the morning. Maybe the water spirits were just reminding us of what they were capable of? 
At any rate, after we'd ridden back to Lake Como, the wind came up and this rolled in. Fortunately, the 2 inch hail was a little north, and... it didn't come a day earlier. 
Pretty, though..

I had a blast for the short time I was there. First time I ever really talked to Bad Chad, and that guy is freakin' hilarious! I had to leave early as my Dad had a heart attack in Minocqua, WI, and they took him via ambulance to Marshfield, WI. As soon as I found out, I headed up there (3 hr. ride), and didn't even say goodbye to anyone (sorry about that). Turns out, it was fairly minor (as heart attacks go), and he ended up with a stent in one of his arteries. They'll be back home in Milwaukee on Monday. Would've come home today, but he also had pneumonia, which they think might have triggered it. Better to have that happen now as opposed to a massive heart attack in winter while shoveling snow.

P.S. The ride from New Glarus was outstanding. Hwy H to F to G, and into the rally. I'll be taking those roads again next year.

Also sorry to hear this.  We wondered where you went to.  Glad everything turned out okay.
