On the bucket list.
https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2015/09/16/15000-visit-moto-guzzi-open-house-in-mandello/

Start saving you nickels and dimes for the 100th Anniversary open house in 2022.

I'm hoping to go.  Need to save more nickels and dimes, though...

Don't you think 2022 will be too crowded I think I would prefer to go in the off season and rent a bike from Agostini's for a couple of days.

No, your bucket has too many motorcycles in it, get rid of some of that non-Guzzi stuff  :grin:

I missed it by a day!
Was in Sala Comacina on Lake Como from the 5th to 11th, had to leave for Lake Garda on the Friday morning, bummer!
Rented a Stelvio from Agostinis for three days, Tues-Thurs, took it up to the Stelvio Pass (which is why there's now one in my Garage . . . a Stelvio, not a Mountain Pass!).

Didn't find out about the Cams/Tappets issue 'til after I bought it.
If mine fail (I'm being optimistic), the top ends will be in my suitcase when I go back out there next Sep (or maybe sooner)  :violent1:.

Northern Italy is beautiful!

The food is very good, too.

Mandello and Lake Como are breath-takingly awesome!

The museum isn't open long enough.

Fortunately for me, IF, I can get the time, it is not very far away, and I can go again.

I'd love to go see the factory and be around all those Guzzi admirers but I want to go in 2021 when Guzzi is 100 years old.

Odd, but Guzzi celebrates a year late.  So it will likely be 2022 for the 100th.  If you want to be there for the actual celebration.

You may remember:

75th Anniversary California was a 1997 model
80th Anniversary California was a 2002 model
90th Anniversary California was a 2012 model.

I'll second that!   :thumb:

Stelvio Pass is a must too.
I know there are 'better' roads in the area (CH & IT), but it's just so much fun!
Ignore the Date, forgot to reset it, this was 9th Sep this year.
