Title: Guzzisti near Sequim/Port Angeles WA?
Post by: jp on December 08, 2015, 10:15:49 PM

We're relocating to Sequim, WA from Central California in 3-4 months, and are wondering if there are any Guzzisti nearby?  Also, wondering where the closest Guzzi-knowledgeable mechanic(s) might be?  Any info is appreciated - thanks, and happy holidays!!

Thanks, Demar - yes, I've dealt with them by phone several times - they were great.  Wondered if there was anyone on the Olympic Peninsula, but would be surprised if so...  Maybe some guzzisti, tho - we'll see!!  Thanks again.

Thanks, MWM!!   My husband and I have 3 Guzzis between us (plus a few other non-Guzzi "tools"...  LOL), and we'll look forward to meeting you as soon as we get up there permanently - hopefully Feb, March at the latest.   We'll be making some trips up there before our final, one-way trip - maybe meet you on one of those!!  Do you golf?  We poked around the Port Ludlow course the last time we were there about a month ago - looks like a fun - and very pretty - course...

Hey MtWillyman -
   We're finally moving to Sequim this Thursday - YAYYYY!!  I was researching Port Angeles Power Equipment last night and they get very good reviews on the 'net - they have KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki motos (no Guzzis, of course)...  Just wondered if you've had any experience with them, even for things like tire changes, etc.... 
   Thanks, and see you 'round hopefully!!

Welcome to the NW JP.

The Washington and Oregon Guzzi clubs are very active and welcome all riders. The first Oregon event is an annual memorial Campout a little south of Tillamook May 20-22. Just head west then south on 101!
Then, of course is the National Rally held this year in John Day OR  June 23-26
Here is a link to their sites and calendars

Congratulations on the moves to the Olympic Peninsula! It is beautiful, and the water is spectacular!

Although not next door, my wife and I are often in Olympia (at our cabin), and we do travel up north now and then (often on our way to Victoria, BC).

 It is a bit of a haul from Sequim, but Seattle area Guzzi riders meet for breakfast the 1st Saturday of every month in Enumclaw. Might be worth the trip down to meet some of us. With the exception of one or two, we are a fun bunch.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your info and links - we'll follow up on it after we get there and get the motos unloaded.  Moving day is tomorrow - so excited!!!  Anxious to meet you all. 
I've been to the John Day rally before, but my husband has not.  It's a great place....  We'll probably go this year, but certainly hope to meet at least some of you before then.... 
MWM - PMed you back. 
  Did I mention we're so excited???  LOL. 
  Thanks for all the great times and great riding, California!!  Gorgeous, diverse state....

Just remember to pack raingear regardless of the weather report.
