UPDATE! Meet and Greet lunch confirmed for 9 Feb (Sunday) at 12:00 noon at Tellico Kats in Tellico Plains Tn. Snowing pretty hard here today so I will be taking the cage to tomorrows lunch. Hope to see you for lunch Sunday. Ride (or drive) safe. Bob :bike-037:

If the weather's good, I'll plan to come up with my son. Been looking for a good time and reason to get up to Tellico, he lives about 3 hours south near Martin GA.

Fingers crossed. I'm desperate to get out on a ride. Winter's back atop the Cumberland plateau...27 degrees this morning and forecast to be in the teens tomorrow morning.

I got an hour ride in on the mighty GRiSO. Brrrrrrrr cold!
See you guys in February! :bike-037:

The Moto Guzzi Gods will send sunny days and warm temps for the February meet and greet lunch! I can feel it coming, or the Stelvio is lying to me again!!! See ya all in February!

I put it on my calendar as a placeholder.
My current work trip is supposed to complete on the 6th, but could be extended.

Weather Permitting , I'll see if the wife wants to ride along for a SkyWay Ride ! :grin:
Might even do a Dragon Run while in the neighborhood ? If the weather is good enough to cross-over the SkyWay ? :huh:

Forecast for next weekend not looking so good. The front will push through, dropping temps from the above normal we've been having to normal or below. Sunday forecast 50 for a high, but of course it won't hit that till well in the afternoon. Looks like too cold for me. I'm a wimp. It's one thing to ride across town in the low 40's, another thing entirely to ride 100+ miles each way!

UPDATE! Im rescheduling the February meet and greet from the 9th of February at Tellico Kats to the following weekend 15th or 16th of Feb, depending on which weather day is better/doable. Right now the highs are ten degrees warmer for that weekend. Possibility of rain but il keep watching the weather.
Do you know the story on Tellico Kats? They were supposed to close last year. Did they sell it to new owners or did the original ladies decide to stay open?

They sold it to new owners. Still a good place

I appreciate how tough it is trying to schedule anything but a very local get-together this time of year. I'm glad you're giving it a go, even though I'll be unlikely to find a 3-day window in the weather in which to make it until spring or summer.
Most of us are just gazing at the fire waiting for the weather to break ... !

If both days are BAD weather wise, I will try the following weekend (22-23 Feb) and if that is bad weather too, we will just skip the February Meet and Greet and go with the next one (March) at Two wheels of Suches on the 21st of March at 12:00 noon.
Its hard to beat the weather sometimes! Hoping for good weather on 15 and 16 February! :bike-037:

The weather is going to be nice here on the Florida panhandle. So was last weekend. :thumb:

Did you ride the RE all the way to Florida ?
I saw the video of the guy who bought one in Seattle then rode it home to Alaska , But I couldn't ask him about the trip ! :smiley:

UPDATE! Now the weather forecast has changed for Tellico Plains on 9 Feb 2020. Now they are calling for Sunny skies and 64 degrees for a high! That's warm enough for me. The weather report keeps changing hourly for that day and I am watching it.
What I will do is post a confirmed decision tomorrow (Thursday) based off of the weather forecast then for 9 Feb at 12 noon, at Tellico Kats.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Just gotta pick a day and stick with it, even if Im the only one who goes. LOL Bob

No, I need to carry too much for work and play for these extended stays.
Here I am on my weekend off.

I have blackout curtains in the truck bed with a platform to sleep on.
I used to ride bikes to Florida with the smallest being the Versys 650. Now the back won't let me endure that kind of riding so I have to choose quality over quantity. Good thing I got in my touring when I could.

9 Feb 2020 12:00 Noon, meet and greet lunch, at Tellico Kats, in Tellico Plains, Tn, for any Guzzi riders that want to join. Rain, Sleet, or snow it will still be 9 Feb at noon. (Weather calling for 61 degrees and sunny in Tellico Plains on Sunday) You can always bring your cage/car if weather is too bad. Hope to see you there.
Thanks and ride safe. Bob :bike-037:

Oh Oh...slow air leak on rear tire on Stelvio again. I think it might be a bad valve stem but I am not sure yet. Gonna try to get it fixed today. If it doesn't get fixed Il still be at the met and greet tomorrow at noon. (But in a cage). Hope some of you can also make it. See ya. Bob :bike-037:

Rats. Great for all who can, I developed commitments Monday so I have to pass this time.
Next month...!

Well one rider was brave enough to battle the 30 degree morning temperatures and ride in to tellico Kats for lunch. Kyle gets the hardy, tough rider award.
We had a great lunch and then went up to Bald River falls to check its status with all the rain we have been getting. Sorry nobody else came but that’s the way it goes.
March’s is at Two Wheels of Suches and I’ll be staying there for the weekend. Lunch is on Saturday at noon (21 March).
Anybody planning on going to that one or is it getting to be time we stopped these Meet and Greets due to lack of interest? I’ll have to think about this I guess. Oh well, we had a good time!

Don't stop Bob, otherwise we'll have no weather at all!!! I was going to come up but had a Cal2 show up for clutch replacement. At least I got some work.
-
It's not a lack of interest, it's a lack of fortitude! Like any outdoor activity, scheduling something a month ahead of time is entirely up to Mother Nature.
-
Bob , Keep putting meets on the calendar . I really wanted to wake up to ridding weather , it just didn't show up ! My thermometer was reading 23 F at time for me to leave . I do hope to be able to make the March Meet .
-
If nothing else, I enjoy reading the posts and thoughts of getting together even if I am stuck out of town for work.
Maybe I will have somewhat of a break the end of March.
-
I won’t stop planning them. Weather will improve and people’s schedules will free up somewhat. Ride safe and hope for good March weather! :bike-037:
