For any of the Houston/nearby Guzzi community
My 2 Italian friends who recently moved from Cislago/Como area to North Carolina - and are now living in Cornelius on Lake Norman will arrive on Saturday to pick up 2 of my Guzzis and ride them back to North Carolina. They'll be taking my Blue 2004 California EV and a Red 1200 Sport...both fantastic bikes!
We will have a nice breakfast with them at Fellini's in Rice Village and then they'll begin a nice trek back to North Carolina...if anyone in the area wants to join, meet some very experienced and super Guzzisti, please let me know and I'll confirm the exact time. They are a wonderful couple, have logged hundreds of thousands of kilometers around Europe, Africa, US and parts of the Middle East.
I'm working on a fun route for them back to N. Carolina, may route them up thru Arkansas and across Tennessee for their return, if there are any riders along the way, I'll see if their plans coincide to stop in for a quick hello.
A big thanks for Larry and Mike at MPH for getting the services done on the bikes and ready for the road!
From their last visit to Texas a couple years ago: The Beginning of the Giro di Texas for MotoTurismo (Caponords this time instead of Guzzis)

Ha ha! Mille grazie Signore Polverosa (Dusty)!!
Greg...would love to have you join (On the V7 for sure), I would venture around 9:30 to 10 we'd arrive and be there probably for a couple of hours before they head out. I'll get a more precise time close to the day...We'll have a leisurely breakfast, so we'll keep a chair open for you for a time that works for you. Welcome.

I'll be down as soon as the inlaws depart, I'll let you know Sunday morning.

Excellent...see you then Tom!
At this point we should have:
1 V7 - Greg
1 Stelvio - Tom
1 Griso - Rob
1 Norge - Paul
1 Sport - Laura
1 Cali - Lele
1 Norge - Darek (possible)
and a few other stragglers possible!

It may still be going at noon, but we'll probably be there by 9:30. You want to join us? Please come on by if you're in the neighborhood! :grin:
Cappuccino or Espresso, Fritatta, Corneta (Croissant), maybe some fresh seasonal fruit, probably another coffee and on it goes!

It was a fun weekend with my friends in town picking up the California and the Sport, enjoying a shake down ride on Saturday and then a nice gathering of dedicated Guzzi riders showed up this morning for a great breakfast, a bit of chit chat, a little photo shoot and a bon voyage escort to the edge of town for my friends. Even had a surprise visitor join us (Dan on his V7).
All in all - we had 3 Norges, 1 Griso, 1 V7, 1 1200 Sport, 1 California
Buon viaggio ragazzi - ci vediamo pronto en North Carolina
