Will Moto Guzzi have a presence at Daytona Bike Week 2026?

[bobrebos1]

Or not?   If so any idea where?  Thanks

[ridingron]

Not sure about this year but I did a test ride on a V100 last year at the Raceway. There is suppose to be a dealer in very near by Ormond Beach :

430 S Yonge St, Ormond Beach, FL 32174

The old dealer evidently shut down. Their sister store in Orlando also closed.

Are you looking for a test ride?

[Bill W]

I was looking also but haven't seen anything posted. I know a lot of bike dealer are a going to be at the Speedway but I did not see MG listed.

The Importer  really screwed over the dealer that was in Daytona, no wonder no one wants the brand, no one want to deal with jag-offs. Making promises they don't keep. Just ask all the dealers that have dumped the brand.

May not even be a Camp Carlo this year.

I haven't heard about Camp Carlo for the last couple years, I think it's gone by the boards---

[guzzisteve]

My WI friends stayed there last year, said it may be the last.

The name "bike week" has been changed to "trailer week".

Isn’t there a pizza place some where that all the guzzi riders meet at in Daytona???  Or is my mind/memory gone???

[bobrebos1]

I found this on Facebook……

Moto Guzzi bike week pizza night will be 5 PM Tuesday March 3rd at Venice Pizza 621 South Yonge Street Ormond Beach Florida 32174

I don’t know if it’s true???

There won’t and never will be anything, if riders don’t get off their backsides and go there. It appears from this side of the Pacific Ocean, that these enquires are asking if there’ll be something arranged for them to make it worthwhile riding there..
Why is it not an option to arrange it now and arrive en masse, thus creating your own “event” ? The whole world is moving towards a sense of entitlement whereby “they” do the spadework and “you” arrive, pay at the gate and then go home.
If I had to live in the ‘Staes, I’d be just saying…”Bugger it, I’m gunna’ go and I don’t care who is there to hold my hand for me…”
Make it happen or sit at home and lament at what might have been.

There is only a Camp Carlo if people go there… If you stay home because there’s no Camp, then that becomes the reason that there’s no camp…
It’s because you didn’t go…
You then achieve a critical mass of non attendees such that less and less are doing more and more, so the stalwarts just throw it all in a screaming heap.

Who’s fault is that ?

[motogoro]

Guzzi was at the Speedway last year.  It was rain day truck trip for us that day. No demo rides.   
Yes, we trailer.  It's a long cold ride from WI.   
Whiskey Bill kept Camp Carlo alive long past when Guzzisti were the majority of campers.  We were there last year to remember Bill. 
Camp Carlo for now is a ghost.  Most of the folks from the quarter century ago 'heyday' are aging out of tent camping. 
We're not coming to Daytona this year.  Maybe next year staying in a VRBO?
While Lake Monroe is a nice campground, the prices have risen, reservations have become more restrictive due to transient issues. 
It's an hour from what has become the current focal point, the Casey's Guzzi Gang racing 'HQ'.  And Venice Pizza and Pasta. 
The ARMHA races are what hooked me in the early 2000's.  Flat tracker Guzzis are the ticket now.

Eh? What you on about? I am going with another group from my locale. CC was a thing for awhile but is no more. Life moves on. There's a pizza nite a few days later organiz(s)ed by locals. Whatevs, I will be over there Sat-sun, looks to be a little rainy!

Not particularly targeted at this thing, just an observation regarding herd mentality.
Ok, it does not apply here and how would I know the details of this event.
But when I hear how people are not attending rallies because they’re losing popularity, it just makes me want to address the elephant in the room.
So my general statement was…
Don’t follow trends..
Set them.

Mark:  we had a change of plans and will be leaving here Monday so we won’t be attending the guzzi pizza night Tuesday in ormond beach.  Sorry we will miss meeting up with you. 

[TN Mark]

Thank you for the update Bob.

Is anyone else able to meet at the pizza place on Tuesday?

Any idea how many usually show up?

[elrealistico]

I went on Sat AM, weather was fine, after the fog cleared around Tampa, sun came out as I was leaving. Cloudy most of the way over. Overcast and breezy. Especially along the oceanfront. I did go to Venice pizza, it was quite good, so even if there's not a big turnout, I would recommend for dinner
