First I heard of it. I see it is in North Carolina, and about 3 hours from my house in Rock Bridge Baths VA. I should be able to make it.

Bob, this is a great rally. Several of us from KY try to attend every year. We're planning to be there this year as well. The campground is really nice with a great
shower house and pavilion. Looking forward to seeing you there. JohnB

*** If ANYone coming from North or West needs a way point on your ride down, they are welcome to stay at my house Thursday Night on the way in, or Sunday on the way out. Rock Bridge Baths is on US 39 about where 64 and 81 cross at Lexington Virginia.
I'll be launching from there Friday Morning. It's 5 hours +/- on the fun roads and 3 if taking 81 South.
I have plenty of Room/bed space, cold beer, bourbon, and will be burning meat (aka BBQ) Thursday night. Or if you want to be a dirty biker, can camp.
Shoot me a PM if you need/want a place to stay either way.

I'm shooting to be there, Bob.
The main question is whether I'll be riding a Guzzi or a Piaggio? :grin:

A great rally. Here's a video of last year's rally from Brothers, Bikes, and Bourbon's perspective (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El5M_k2j_9A)
-
The videographer looked to be on a BMW RS. Then I saw two Triumphs ride in. This IS a Moto Guzzi Rally? :evil:
-
Was planning on it, but do I want 4 wheels or go to a rally. Been unreliable for service, but I am retired. Dog sitting the PIA MinPin.

Our Guzzi bona fides are long documented. Note my signature here. Too, this not being a Harley rally, all bikes are welcome
-
You have had more than a few Guzzi's, ask me how I know. Raise a glass for me. Ride on.
-
Only a few days out. Il be riding over to there this coming Wednesday. 95 degrees with a real feel of 102. Oh oh! Lol

Hot and humid here. I went out for a ride yesterday and today. Got lost both times. GPS STINKS! I had avoid gravel roads and it brought me to gravel road anyways both times. Yesterday I rode the gravel for about ten miles only to find out the last .6 tenths of the gravel road was blocked/closed so I had to turn around and start over. I finally figured out a paved road way. What a mess!
-
It was WET! Lol

You're the MAN Bob! How was the turnout? I suspect the weather may have put a "damper" on things. :cheesy: :cheesy: :tongue:

Turnout wasn’t bad. I’d guess 50 Guzzis and riders but that’s just my guess.

Was a great event. Interesting to see how people stuck to their known 'cliques' Was great to meet new people, Bob among them. Was a wet couple days, but all in all a good event. 3 of the 5 guys I rode with stayed at the hotel (whimps) though two did appear in a van, having gotten a ride from Jim Hamlin.
Was the first time on the 1200 Sport for about 2 years, and other than some corrosion on the battery terminals creating the need for a jump, it performed flawlessly. The battery is 6 years old, so I thought it was that, but after a no start (just a click) on the trip home, I played with the terminals and it fired up. I got home and took the terminals apart, and found some corrosion. Will likely need a battery soon though.

I think the large size of the campsite and the rain made it a bit more difficult to socialize. I didn't even realize Bob R from Cleveland was there! Still, a bit more than 50 people showed up. Considering the weather, that was a super turnout. The peripatetic Bill Hagan showed up, descending upon us from VA. It was a delight to see him after many years! The food was most excellent as usual. Our Italiano friends outdid themselves again this year and their labor of love was most welcome.
