did I miss something?
« on: October 11, 2015, 07:26:40 PM »
I road from Canterbury CT to Milford NH then to Keene NH and round about back to CT today.beautiful day in the upper 60s
I saw at least 10 Moto Guzzis!
a V7 Classic, 2 Grisos, 3 older Eldorado types, 3 sporting bikes like  a LeMans and a few standard types that I couldn't identify as they rushed past.
of course I was on a Triumph
so 10 MGs in just less than 300 miles; a good day all around

Maybe some of the Guzzis were people who had such a good time at the National at Keene in June that they're just now leaving?

Just back from the Barber Vintage Rally.  My riding buddy said: "I've never seen so many Guzzi's in one place."  My response: "Me neither."   Well represented.

If that is all you noticed, then you missed the 32000 gay pirates on Harleys, 19000 squids on sport bikes, 25000 ADV riders on their way to Starbucks, and one 1969 BSA on the side of the road with a blown Zener Diode.
