Nov 9 to Nov 11, 2018
16TH MOTO GUZZI/ BMW GUMBO RALLY
Swamp Scooters Motorcycle Club. Come pass a good time and "laisser les bon temp rouler" – or, "let the good times roll" for those not fortunate enough to live here – at Bayou Wilderness RV Resort (www.bwrvr.com) just outside Lafayette, Louisiana. Come on over for Friday and Saturday nights, bring a tent for primitive camping under beautiful oak trees. Friday: arrive, get set up, relax and chat with friends over an evening meal which we provide; sit around the bonfire to trade tall stories and enjoy beverages which you may purchase from the on-site RV General Store. Saturday: Breakfast will be provided. Or just relax at the campsite. This gives you plenty of time to explore the local area. Information on this to see can be obtained on site. We expect to have the Louisiana State Motorcycle Safety Foundation representatives on site, new motorcycles from our local dealers, and some vendors. Enjoy our 10th Annual Don Royer Gumbo Cook-off early in the evening. This is a competitive event that will have you sampling true down-home recipes. Our local riders all claim to have the winning recipe prepare these unique Cajun gumbos, and it's said that most of them are right! This is a serious business folk, so bring an appetite, and you won't go away hungry. There'll be local music, perhaps some awards and door prizes given out while you sit around the campfire, kicking tires & telling more impossible stories under the starry skies. Cac'est bon! Sunday: Pack and leave. Bid au revoir to friends both old and new, until next year. A safe ride home! Pre-entry fee is $70, which includes a T-shirt, and rally pins for the first 150 who pre-register, or $60 with no t-shirt or rally pin, either way, $70 at the door with no shirt or rally pin. This pays for two nights camping, with one breakfast, two evening meals and entertainment. Pre-entry deadline is 8th October 2018. Entry at the door is $70 and some T-shirts may be available for purchase. If you would like to compete in our cook-off, please email president@swampscooters.net. Space for teams is limited, so get in touch early. We will have clean Port-o-lets, and water stations in the camp area. There is a both house with toilets and hot showers in the RV area for our use. There is no electricity at the campsite; to arrange, at your expense, an RV site with electrical outlets call the campground at: 337-896-0598. This also goes for travel trailer, camper, bus or similar. If you prefer a hotel, contact our "pres" about local hotels that close by. You may mail in your money with the Registration Form or go here and register and pay with PayPal. Send any questions to president@swampscooters.net. We hope you'll come join us!

Thanks.  I'm sure she'll be fine.  Since its Lonestar Rally this weekend, we've been telling everyone she hurt it when she wrecked her Hog.


Got the Conti on.  Took off left muffler, so I could unscrew that bracket that holds caliper.  Much easier.  New centerstand and sidestand going on today. 

Bring that oil by and you can borrow my Guzziology and if have some other stuff you might be interested in.

Sold the Stella scooter to Charlie.

See ya

Well, darnit, the weather is not shaping up to be very good for this year's Swamp Scooter Rally. Rain is scheduled for Thurs, Fri and Sunday.  But, hey, Saturday is supposed to be a little clearer.

If you go with a tent, a ground cover would be advisable.
