Anybody going to the Chicago Int Moto show? Guzzi is on the floor!

I don't think I can make it, unless I work something out for Sunday.  But I noticed that WindyCity Triumph, now Chicagolands only Guzzi dealer, has a Huge foot print, just for the Piaggio brands!  They have floor space called WindyCity Piaggio, equal to that of Indian!

I have seen pics of the layout on FB from Windycity, and Guzzi looks very well placed on the floor.  I'll bet Piaggio has made some type of sweet heart deal with Windycity to help them offset the cost of so many square feet!  Windycity, plans to sell a lot of Guzzi this year.

Wonder if they can service what they sell?

I saw the FB link looks like the best display in many years. I also noticed Triumph does not seem to have a display only WC's.

we will be up there tomorrow

Not to worry. Jim Barron can handle it.

Yes, indeed.

Good for those guys.  It's a considerable investment for these guys to get the flour space and fund it.

I was at the show last night, and saw the Piaggio display.

Many Guzzis on display, but no 1200s (no surprise).  Very nicely done.

Saw the V9 and V7 side-by-side for the first time.  Got to say I prefer the looks of the V7s.

Best,

Carlo

 Heading over there soon. 10 minutes from my house. Need a battery for the Jackal too. Not sure I can find one there. 😎

As much as we would like to go, with tickets being @$20 and also having to pay for parking, we are taking a pass again this year.  Oh well, we already have other plans for Sunday when I don't have to work.

Park  at the CTA lot on the north side of the expo, $5 and a free shuttle.

 Great guzzi display. Bikes definitely look better in person. Per the mfg rep. Norge is done and last year for griso and stelvio. Guzzi will be cruisers and retros. Great victory display especially for a dead brand. Nothing I liked better than what I have.
