I’m thinking about starting a Moto Guzzi riders rally in Tennessee starting next year/2027!

Anybody interested in that for the future?

I’m thinking of this place…. https://smittyslodge.com/

Thanks for your opinion. Bob

Why not? Long overdue, I'd think. Has anyone actually been to that camp site to see if it lives up to the web site image?

Not a bad idea. Beat the heat of summer and the storms it brings.

I stay there a while back. I don't think they had as many cabins. It had a different name back then.

I'd give it a whirl. Nice riding area.

Can always choose a different place!

Looking at possible dates of June 4-6 or 11-13, or Oct 1-3 2037, for a Tennessee rally. Cooler then! Better than July or August…2027

Hi Bob. Tellico Plains is a nice staging area. Hopefully visitors are a win win for the local business owners and riders. I’d go for sure if the weather cooperates. There may be competing events around those timeframes mentioned because of the better weather. Take care and I hope you are having a great summer.

I am finally breaking free of the office this fall. That is within easy striking range for me. Unless the wife plans something for the same dates, I would be in.

The V11 Guzzi Spine raid occurs every year in Tellico Plains at the Tellico lodge. I'm finally going this year for the 22nd anniversary rally.

Dates are Sep 11-13...location is about 1 mile from the Smitty's location!

I would look at the lodge for possible location for the Tennessee moto guzzi riders rally 2027 but I don’t think they offer tent camping?? Bob

Facebook group for 2027 rally. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BEmR9dt8f/?

Not sure as I have never been there…can ask Docc over on V11…

Hey Bob,

Sounds like a great idea! God willing I'll be there!

No tent camping at Tellico Lodge. They do have nice indoor motorcycle parking.

I’m still working the idea/details etc. Won’t have any firm update as to whether or not there will be a 2027 Tennessee rally or not, for a couple of months yet. Thanks

Sounds good.

I need 9 more volunteers to help me in putting together a Tennessee Moto Guzzi Riders rally in September of 2027. Please message me if you can commit. Looking at September 3-5 or 10-12. Volunteers would probably help day before, during, and a day after. Tentatively in tellico plains Tn! Thanks Bob
