Title: Guzzis in the Blue Ridge
Post by: Twinboy on July 28, 2020, 06:48:50 PM: Just a reminder that the Guzzis in the Blue Ridge Rally is happening this weekend at Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground in Cruso NC. Always a very laid back rally with a great variety of Guzzis and interesting folks show up! The local Guzzi riders from the Asheville area will be there!

That is a beautiful area and it should be a little cooler at those elevations. I’d love to make it but since I’m in between guzzis now I’d hate to come riding up on my 83 Honda CB1000C or light weight 82 GL500I in the middle of those guzzis🤣 however the little 500 does favor a guzzi and I don’t care what Honda says, they did get that motor design from Italy👍

There was a GL500 rally there one year including a father/teenage son combo. The GL was his first bike.

The first time I want to the Blue Ridge Guzzi gathering I was on a Ninja. Of course I didn't know there was a Guzzi gathering at the campground I happened to choose to stay at. LOL! Everyone was happy to show off and explain their bikes to me. It was many years later that I got my first Guzzi.
