Any Guzzi riders here from Saskatchewan Canada?

[bobbyfromnc]

I'm hoping to come and explore Saskatchewan as one of my bucket list items in the future and was wondering if anyone here lives there? Thanks.

Well there is one guy, but he's hard to catch

Yeah I live here, land of living skies they call it, low population in many areas, big province with a million miles of road, like some people say, our pot hole system has roads in it! DonG

LOL... Any of you Guzzi owners get together etc?

[Don G]

There are not that many Guzzi owners here that I am aware of, I know of at least 3 more besides my self, like I say it is a big province with a sparse population, if you want to see Guzzis come over to my place I have a 30+ unit collection, have lost count really.....  DonG

30 Guzzis and only 90 riding days in Saskatchewan? That's a tight schedule.

[Don G]

Yeah it is a Bugger! I do live at two different locations so the fleet is split up a bit..... DonG

well, 90 days is a bit of an exaggeration. Last season started late and ended early... and even that was mid may to late September (consistently)… was able to ride into Mid-October, but intermittently.

But, it's not a long season by any stretch of the imagination, either way.

My motorcycle hobby is in the mechanics end of it, short riding season but a long off season to tinker. Like a buddy used to say, our location is perfect for English motorcycles, ride them for 4  months and fix them for 8 ! :smiley:DonG

I'm glad to see this thread has some spirited banter... :-)  Thanks for your replies. BK

Where the hell you finding them all? I keep my ear to the ground on vintage bikes all the time, and I rarely, if ever find vintage Guzzis for sale. Or are YOU the reason I can't find them?

I kid, but honestly... collectors make it tough on the rest of us. A guy out in Alberta used to call himself the "CB750 Guy" (maybe he still does)… no matter how quick I called or went to see a bike... he'd be there ahead of me. Barn full of them. Makes it tough when you're on the hunt.

Ya snooze ya loose! I used to have a great collection of English bikes at one time, predominantly Royal Enfield, I guess I had them all too, stuck with Guzzi after the divorce cleaned out the antique collection. DonG

I'm going there mid-July for a Corvette Gathering in Saskatoon..  I want to stop in Moose Jaw on the way and see Al Capone's tunnels.

Sounds like a plan in the future!

[Don G]

The Corvette shindig should be a blast! Some nice iron still in Saskatchewan !  DonG

Remind me what Al Capone's tunnels were about.
