The giant WG National threadfest

The good thing is Easter will move.

Next year, Easter will be Sunday, April 5.

Yes sir...Just thinking they could see when Easter is and not pick that weekend...I think several could not make it because of being on Easter weekend... Ok, back to some better posts....hehe!!!

True some could not attend because of Easter . However , the following weekend Hewins Park is reserved for their Spring Fling , several hundred  folks attend that event so we are competing for space , the previous weekend it rained everyday , and two weeks later is Luap's deal ...so I stand by the dates . The only practical time is that weekend , and since we took a vote last year , well , there you have it .

Knowledge being passed or bullshit??

Yes, the spirits were consulted.

A cafe done by Bullet Bob. For those that wonder about the future of Guzzi riders and the youth of today, here is your answer.

A 1400 made its appearance courtesy of Swalker

It wasn't all new iron

We even had some pets, a Tiger!!

New and a classic.

Is that a Falcon(e)?  Yes, an exceptional 1960 courtesy of CalVin2007

Yes, Kirby1923 did ride that CX100 1400 miles in two days to make the rally.  And contestations about the long distance award??

Guzzistijohns Le Mans III 850 being modeled by CalVin2007

Let's ride gentleman!

Rollin out

The future of Guzzi and motorcycle men!

[AMGeneral]

Thanks to all for a great weekend getaway. Wasn't set right away on making it, but glad I did.

Yep, good listener , probably 'cause I had to work fri night, got back to wichita around 4am sat, hung around wichita a while then headed to CV. By the time I turned in for the night on sat/sun, I was over 24 hours with just a short nap.

Did have fun pedaling around the area.

Thanks to Dusty and Doug for the cooking, thanks to John for the tunes, that little speaker sounded great in the shelter.

Was nice to put faces with forum handles. Weather held out nicely. Not too hot or cold. Didn't get wet until almost home.

I think I can be talked into making it again next year.

See ya,
Rod

[Guzzistajohn]

Nice pics Matt, Loraine's munchies were da bomb! Tell her thanks and she's welcome at my campfire ANYTIME!

I think I've recovered from all the laughing ;D

It was sure a fun time, Saturday's campfire was perfect, It's really cool to have riding buddies spread out over the country like this!   THANKS LUAP, ROCKER & WILDGUZZI!!

 Rocker made me promise to not bring this up until after the first of the year  ;D It is 24 F here with a WCF of 13 F and temp is going the wrong direction , seemed as good a time as any to talk about our little NAR in the wilds of S.E.Kansas . plus I've had a few inquiries , so ... (Rocker , edit this as necessary , thanks )
 The dates this year will be  17-19 April , and of course Doug , Fubes , and I will be there Thurs the 16th so come on if cabin fever is a problem . Still refining the catfish and hushpuppie technique for outdoors , this year will be better than last  ;D
 The pics here tell it all , and Guzzistajohn will repost some of his . No fee , but donations are always welcome to help Doug and myself defray the expenses . Electricity available , and we have a crude shower , but it works thanks to Doug . Plenty of firewood , and the pavillion will hold a hundred folks in case of rain . Cedar Vale is walking distance from the park , good cafe , grocery store , not much else , but the locals are friendly and seem to appreciate our presence , the young folks even open doors and call us sir and mam  :o :D Danged refreshing .
 We promise a good time , and Stormtruck is our complaint dept , so if there is a problem ... ;D
 Oh , and the scenery will pleasantly surprise you .

Dang if this works out I will get to three camp-outs before summer and never leave KS.

Good to live in KS. Cedar Vale, Council Grove, and possibly Chet's Woodstock.

Will be nice to get out for riding therapy once again!

See ya at Cedar Vale!
