Utah Guzzi Get Together! Sept. 4-7
« on: April 24, 2025, 10:13:34 AM »
Hey there fellow Guzzisti, we are getting together in Torrey, Utah with the Thousand Lakes RV Campground as the host location.
The phone number there is 435-425-3500.
As of this post there's a camping cabin available for the duration, it will accommodate 5. There's a deluxe cabin available for Thursday and Friday nights. Plenty of tent spaces are available. I apologize for getting this up so late, but I certainly look forward to seeing everyone and enjoying the gorgeous Utah scenery!

Mike, arriving on Thursday September 4th and departing on Sunday September 7th. Rides planned on Friday and Saturday. I plan on cooking dinner on Saturday night. There's a lot of hotels available in addition to the campground. The restaurant we all enjoyed at the campground is still there as well. Look forward to seeing you and your crew!

Not sure I can make it, but Utah intrigues me.  I have penciled this in onto the calendar. 

What is the weather likely to be?  Any chance of snow/ice?

Eliminate the negative;
Latch on to the affirmative;

Last time it was chilly the first morning but fine after that.  I doubt it will be cold enough for snow.

Southeastern Utah is grand.  You need to go some year.

It's been 20-years since I've been to Torrey.  I was there in 1999 and 2005.  Really beautiful area and great motorcycling.

Can't wait to see what you have planned. I was looking at routes today for the ride from Colorado to Torrey.

I'm In.  I'll drive from Orem on Thursday.  Thanks for your work in setting this up.

Just curious if anyone has tried to book a spot in the last couple of weeks.  Great to see Alan and his crew joining us!

A couple of weeks left, there are still some tent spots as well as some small cabins available at the Thousand Lakes Campground.

Hoping we will see a few faces that haven't attended the last couple of years as well as the die hards!!!  :grin:

I might have to bring my DR650 this year.  My guzzi is getting painted and its taking longer than I thought it would.

Hey Guys! Looks like I will be attending this year. I missed 2 years ago to attend my niece's wedding in Maine. I've booked a cabin. Still riding my 22 V7 special.   :grin:

I wish we could be there, we will be in the area but not until after Sept 12. I’ll put it on my watch list for next year.
Have fun, looks like a great area to ride.

Michael, you are welcome regardless of which bike you bring!!!  I am working on having a modest dirt alternative for those so inclined, the DR might play well into that.

Looking at the weather a week out, the guess is low to mid 70's during the day upper 50's overnight. 

Gonna be a good time!

Hi Roy!  Would you or someone please take and post some photos of this Rally? Thanks in advance. :thumb:

NOTE:  With the reported demise of the Datil, NM Guzzi Rally, (last one was Aug. 14-17), this Utah Rally might be a great contender for many of the Arizona and Southwest riders to attend in 2026. :thumb: :bow: :cool: :boozing:
