Due to a bad weather forecast for my area Saturday all day, and Saturday night, I have made the decision to cancel our first annual Brat/Burger run. But all is not lost. Here is the plan......
REMINDER....Tn/Ga meet and greet lunch for December is planned for Dec 2, 2017 at Tellico Kats, in Tellico Plains, Tn area. http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=93236.0
AND
April or May of 2018 we will be having the First Annual Burger/Brat Moto Guzzi CAMPOUT which means we will host all you riders from Friday through Sunday for a campout at my place. We live out in the country on seven acres, with a creek and plenty of camping room, fire pit etc etc.
The tentative plan will be to have riders arrive Friday Afternoon/evening, a Saturday ride to one of the local (Tellico Plains or The Ocoee Dam Deli or something) eating establishments, a couple of brat/burger cookouts for a couple of meals, etc. and weekend camaraderie.
I will work out the details soon, but we are looking at the weekend of April 27-29, 2018, or possibly the first weekend in May (4-6 May 2018) as the dates.
Please reply with your thoughts as to the spring campout idea????????????
Thanks....Bob
Im having the First Annual Holiday Brat and Burger Run for :food: you Guzzi riders in the Tennessee/Northern Georgia and wherever area.
I have 7 acres out in the country with two creeks, two bridges, fire-pit, firewood, etc. I reside between Cleveland Tn and Dalton Georgia with nice riding roads nearby. Plenty of room for your tent if you want/need to spend the night and some room in the house if needed to spend the night also. (Let me know ahead of time if you want to spend the night).
Who knows, this may turn into a weekend campout. We have plenty of room for camping etc.
Saturday, November 18th 2017. Food served at 12 noon. Good motorcycle conversation and friendship available! We will provide the Brats and Burgers with the trimmings (Beans and Chips) and soda.
Come on, lets bring in the Holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years) by having a guzzi get together.
Gives you another reason for a ride! I need a serious RSVP no later than November 10th so I know how much food to prepare etc.
I look forward to meeting everyone. Lets get a good turn out for this! Thanks, ride safe and Il see you in a couple of weeks! :clock: :bike-037:��. If the weather is heavy rain/bad weather we will cancel. Bob
Come on......Its just "Around the Bend" according to the Fogerty's

Brang on the cooler temps!
Just a "warm up" ride for your Alaska trip :boozing:

Ha, I'll just put the EV on Taz's trailer.

Little early for me - I'll probably be riding to Pass Christian and then to northern Alabama from Thanksgiving to the first weekend in December, and I don't think I can stretch the start any earlier. Have fun!
Now to finish hooking up all the farkles on the Stelvio - especially the heated gear connection!

Thanks for doing a get-together ! :grin: I got a new V-7 II this year and am enjoying it a lot . Lets hope for GREAT Weather !

I thought somebody posted asking if Yamaha Riders or Harley Davidson riders can come? But now it looks like that post is deleted.
I dont have any problem with other riders coming, as long as everybody behaves!! :bike-037:

There may be a Victory there if Mark shows up.

Our CMAUSA group meeting is that same day ... If its OK , I'll see if they'd like to take a ride after our morning meeting ? Most likely the responses will fall in the category of "we got to go to _____ , thanks anyway" , but my (old/nice) 1100-Goldwing buddy will usually ride if the weather is 1/2 way nice . :grin:

Yep! That's my work route. Let's do it! I'll probably be heading to the meet up on the 18th.

I am 2 1/2 hours by truck. 3 1/2 hours by bike. My Guzzi is currently unregistered. I might ride one of the Harleys or haul the FZ-07 out there. Don't worry about food for me. On a special diet so will take care of my own which means I may be last minute.
-
Let me put in my official RSVP.
I see no reason why I can't be there. Any discrimination if I wanted to bring a few friends (Harley or Honda)?
Also I work at a brewery, so what kind of beer is preferred?
-
um,yeah.. this gathering is shaping up nicely. :boozing:

Like bobrebos said, I don't super slab on the bike. When I ride, it is about the ride, not the destination.
I have hit the interstates when necessary because of work schedules and time constraints, but definitely not my preference.

As long as you are not in a hurry to get anywhere! LOL!
When mapping out new routes I have had to deal with dead ends that the map and GPS said where through roads, and roads that turn to dirt when crossing a county line with no indication of how long you will be on dirt before it returns to paved. The avoid dirt roads feature on the GPS doesn't work well at all in my experience.
-
As long as you are not in a hurry to get anywhere!� LOL!�
Na , just fast enough to make it fun , as in , don't slow-down for the corners and don't speed-up on the straits. :laugh:
just run the speed-limit ... + 2 or 3 ! :grin:

You ride "the pace". That is my philosophy of riding as well. My pace might be a little different depending on which bike I am riding at the time.

Looking forward to one last little get together before the cold weather sets in.

WEATHER UPDATE! The weather report is NOT looking good for Saturday 18 Nov. We dont want riders having to ride in during thunderstorms. I am watching the weather closely and will make a call as to cancellation or not, by Thursday 16 Nov, so you will know ahead of time.
Thank You.......Bob
-
Hope the weather allows us to make it. But if not, are you planning on a re-schedule? Might be tough working it in this late in the season, what with holidays and colder weather on the way. No matter...an early spring run works for me just as easily.

Due to a bad weather forecast for my area Saturday all day, and Saturday night, I have made the decision to cancel our first annual Brat/Burger run. But all is not lost. Here is the plan......
REMINDER....Tn/Ga meet and greet lunch for December is planned for Dec 2, 2017 at Tellico Kats, in Tellico Plains, Tn area. http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=93236.0
AND
April or May of 2018 we will be having the First Annual Burger/Brat Moto Guzzi CAMPOUT which means we will host all you riders from Friday through Sunday for a campout at my place. We live out in the country on seven acres, with a creek and plenty of camping room, fire pit etc etc.

I will work out the details soon, but we are looking at the weekend of April 27-29, 2018, or possibly the first weekend in May (4-6 May 2018) as the dates.
Please reply with your thoughts as to the spring campout idea????????????

AOK Bob, got a Norge job for Fri & now don't have to hurry. Could have finished on time to go but no parts till sometime tomorrow.
Everyone likes an organizer, you're doing a great job.
-
Thanks for the heads up. Wish the weather was better, but what can you do about it?
-
Now I get to spend the weekend with my wife looking at new horse trailers. :sad:
-
Weather bummer!! but it is okay down here so guess I will check out the CoonBottom(Scotts Ferry) meet in Blountstown.
Hope ya'll have a good lunch on 2 Dec.
-
I hate being Cold and Wet ! Good call Bob !
Kats is a good place , I've stopped there to meet bud's before for Dragon Runs .
Not sure about Dec.2nd , being open for me but I'll find out before next week .
I believe I'd have to go ahead and run the Sky-Way while in the neighborhood , and maybe take 64/River-Road back to Southern Middle Tn. Its probably to cold to do the Skyway twice ! :laugh:
-
CANCELED Due to Rain and forecasted storms......just a reminder
-
Bob
A weekend CAMP-OUT is right up my alley ! By time Spring gets here I'll be like a horse chomping at the bit to take a three day ride somewhere !
I'm good for a 10 hour ride day anytime the weather , chore load , and wife allows ! :grin:
-
Bob,
If you can, stop over at Crockett Powersports on Access road tomorrow. They're off 153, exit 6. They have a gorgeous white 2014 California 1400 Touring on consignment. I saw it today and just posted about it. I'd love to bring it home but I'm not sure that's going to happen anytime soon. Plus I really love my Victory.
Thank You,
Mark

Bob, I blame YOU.
You cancelled Brat/Burger Fest and I ended up going out and buying another motorcycle.
Now I'm in the dog house.. :whip2:
