Well, guess I gotta make this one.  :wink:  Lots of very nice roads in the area.  Anyone coming from the north or south, I highly recommend TN 304, the River Road.  Nice gentle road with easy sweepers, very lightly traveled.  From the west, TN 68 across Watts Bar Dam isn't too bad, but quite a bit more traffic.  Fingers crossed for dry wx!

I was planning a ride for this weekend anyway, and was looking for somewhere to ride. Looks like this will be a fun meet up! Coming from Ohio on my V85TT.

As I mentioned before, anyone riding in from the north or south, find TN304 (River rd) on Google Maps.  It's a very nice, lightly traveled road that makes a nice motorcycle ride.  If the wx is good, should still be some fall colors to take in.  TN 68 down from Crossville is ok but has a lot more traffic.  Think I have the oil leak on the Griso fixed.  Should be the perfect shake down run.

Just buy one of those little battery-powered compressor things they sell on Amazon, toss it into your saddlebag and ride on!

Try replacing the valve stem bob that may cure the problem.

Fingers crossed for nice wx.  Extended forecast looks good.  Of course, this far out it's little better than guessing.

Il be there.   Looks like two from the Facebook page are going.  Just very little interest in these moto guzzi lunches.  Very frustrating.  Moto guzzi riders are finicky!  Lol

If everyone shows that have expressed interest, that would be five.  Not so bad turnout on a cool November day! I'm going to break out the heated gear, I think.  :cool:

Il be in my truck.  Moto guzzi is down.  Popping main fuse frequently.  I think it’s a bad battery and charging system is trying to charge it and fuse is heating up and popping.  New battery or battery on charger if it’s ok, should correct the problem.  Guzzi Steve do you remember I had that same problem on my Stelvio 5 years ago about?  I remember.

Yes, now you brought it up.  Got your tire patched? It's always something on these. Check & see what wires get warm. Buy good quality fuses, some are kind of dodgy looking.
Thanks for keeping your gig going, you never hear about stuff going on from your Rep in TN. Wonder if they still meet up there. I wish I could go but wife is still working weekends.

Bob, I’m looking to be able to start attending your events next year. I have a knee replacement surgery in mid December. After that, me and Bella (2016 Eldo) will be ready. I’m likely less than 10 miles from you.

Take the battery out and charge it directly.

I'll be on the BMW, since it is supposed to only be in the low 40's when I start out.  It's wired for all my heated gear.

Bad news.  I woke up at 2am sick as a dog.  I won’t be able to make it to the guzzi traveling lunch today.  I show about 6 riders going so please everyone else have a good time!  Thanks.

I''m camping at Harrison Bay State Park.  I'm going to string together some back roads and will see everyone at the restaurant.

Sorry to hear about being under the weather Bob.  Get well soon.

Three hardy riders braved the cold morning temperatures and fog for lunch in Ten Mile at Uncle Gus BBQ!







For once, the BMW's outnumbered the Moto Guzzis!  :wink:
