Title: CANCELLED!! Old. Fat, Guzzi Lunch Riders; September Moto Guzzi Relax and eat!
Post by: bobrebos1 on August 04, 2024, 02:14:48 AM
DUE TO Hurricane Helene, current rain amounts here and local forecast calling for heavy rains through Sunday I am canceling the meet n greet lunch!  Thank you for your understanding!  Septembers meet n greet lunch will be a nice relaxing Moto Guzzi luncheon at my house.  All food soft drinks, coffee, water provided.  Ride on over for a nice meal and Moto Guzzi Gab!  Sit and relax by the fire pit!  Please select if you are riding over so Peggy and I have a head count for lunch! 

September 29th. 11:00am-7:00pm.  Ride on over!
219 Poteet Rd SE, Cleveland Tn 37323.

Yeah, scheduling issues that month so I had to.  I understand if people can’t make it because it’s on a Sunday.

I know of a guy who just finished an iron butt ride on his 1969 Honda Cb 750 chopper,similar to mine.  Woo hoo that’s awesome!

Bob, if you like old-school choppers, you should watch this YouTube movie (and at 2:25 long, I mean MOVIE!) about a bunch of young guys that ride their home-built Harley choppers on a loop around California. Mostly Sportster engines and an Evo, maybe one Twin Cam.  One of the bikes is so "old-school" it's kick-start only, and no front brake!!  :shocked: Channeling Easy Rider!  Something to watch on a rainy day when you can't get out.

I've every intention to try and make it Bob.
Would be up for an interesting ride around your local roads if anyone wants to show me the way.
P.S....A few weeks back, (close to you around Signal Mountain,Tennessee) there was this sighting.

They keep repainting that thing.  First it was a dull grey, then for a few years it was silver (the coolest look) now I see it's changed color yet again.   https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/spaceship-house

I vaguely remember seeing it under construction when I was in high school.

It's not the only architecturally noteworthy home in the area.  There is a Frank Lloyd Wright house on Missionary Ridge.

Are you coming to lunch on the 29th of September??

Bob, I may make a several days ride out of it and stop at your place on my way towards home.  Haven't ridden the dragon or cherohala yet on the V85TT.

The local ride was if we were doing the campout at your place.

Weather for the 29th is looking a little suspicious.  I’m watching rain percentages!  Will post on here if cancelled due to rain.  Hopefully not!!

Tropical depression Nine is supposed to push through the area during the middle of the week (we sure can use the rain).  So I'm predicting sunny sky's by the weekend.  My weather forecasting skills can't be any worse than the so-called professionals.

After spending the day recuperating and reflecting on the weekend in my head, I want to thank everyone who attended the 24th annual Kentucky Moto Guzzi rally. What a blast, we started out a little stressed over attendance because September was a vary full month for rally’s this year. In the end we had nothing to worry about with an attendance around 90. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible and who come from near and far. I heard it said many times over the weekend that the Moto Guzzi FAMILY is the best. Hope to see the whole family again next year and add some new members also. Please feel free to post pics that’s my one regret that I don’t get to take many pics so we love seeing everyone else.

Calling for heavy rains at my house Wednesday through Sunday.  4.25” Wednesday, 3.50 on Thursday, 3.25 on Friday, and 1.75 on Saturday with 3/4” on Sunday.  That’s in my local forecast.  I will make a decision on canceling the meet and greet lunch scheduled for Sunday at 11am, on Friday.  My yard will be soaked if we get that much rain!

Hasn't rained all summer.  Now when we want to have a get together, we get a Hurricane!  Sometimes you just can't win.  Although, watching the weather on the news about an hour ago, they only showed a 30 percent chance of rain Saturday and Sunday.  So who knows?  Just depends on how fast this thing moves through.

We are not getting the rain that was forecast.  We need it.  Hope those in the path of Helene don't get flooded.

Thanks Tazio.  We are getting hammered with rain down here now and the local weatherman just said the rain will stall out for a couple of more days in the Chattanooga area making Saturday and Sunday wet too!

We got some nourishing rain overnight but the majority is staying east of and north of us.  We are just now starting to get wind gusts.

As the crow flies Bob is only 100 miles east of me.

Man, that Ashville clip was something else!  Hope no one was still in any of those UHaul trucks.  Those things are tanks though.  Notice the wipers on the one in the middle, still working!!
