 We are working on a live feed from CV , or the smart guys are anyway .

So, you are saying there IS cell service in the far away town of Cedar Vale? AND also in the wilds of Arizona?

WOW, whoda thunk it!

That would be fun!

 Sometimes we have to get Kirby to crawl up onto the top of the pavilion with the antenna

After following a bit of the "Spring preload" thread and thinking of related past threads concerning suspension settings....this could be a a good rally activity as it is difficult to measure sag, etc. by oneself plus there will probably be some very knowledgable folk there to assist us dummies.

That's a good idea.   Let's do it.

[SmithSwede]

Make sure the "Dusty Stickers" are not self-adhesive.  You need black duct tape to stick them.   Sold separately.

MIght even do a few "Dusty the Jackal" stickers - limited edition ones!  :)

 Oh you guys are funny  Some of us buy tires and gasoline with extra money and don't worry about fancy stuff like upholstery

Invite them to our Skype Video conference...they can say hello from Down Unda!

 You are in charge of all things Skype 

 Dusty

[PJPR01]

I'd be happy to add anyone who wants to join the Skype video conference.

If you are interested, please shoot me a PM with your Skype name (can be your actual Skype contact or you can make one up specifically for the rally) and I can add you to my contact list.

We'll work on the time slot to get the conference with JJ and the Arizona boys and anyone else around the world...shoot, we could have a "Follow the Sun" strategy and have people on every continent as well!

You can count me in. The wife is unsure at this point. Is there enough electricity to plug our trailer in?
Would I need to reserve a spot for the trailer?  7x14 enclosed cargo trailer, that once the bikes are deployed, becomes her house.

[oldbike54]

 Plenty of electricity Chris , and unless we get more than 15 trailers you shouldn't need a reservation. Looking forward to meeting you .

Just sent you a PM with my SKYPE name and personal email.

I think this is going to a be FIRST, in the annals of Guzzi-dom rally history, yes? 

A live, video, SKYPE call from two different states, both staging a Guzzi N.A.R. during the same weekend!!  :1:

[oldbike54]

 Yes JJ , as far as we know a first . No , one of you smart guys , plan on getting some of this onto Youtube , or Vimeo so we can show it on WG .

 Dusty

[PJPR01]

Thanks JJ...message received and reply sent...we should be connected now via Skype.

Dusty...I'll bring the GoPro as well...have never really developed good editing skills (I might have to call Lucydad one day and have him edit it for me!  :) )...but I can capture some good footage...although it might be a few weeks after returning to get it all edited and uploaded, or I can just meld a bunch of Iphone videos together.

Anyway...start working your weather magic and stay away from the rain dances for a while!  :)

Hi Paul - Received and noted - Thanks!  

Last Aug. at Datil, NM, some Guzzisti had a drone and took a cool video of the entire campground from above.  It was interesting and cool. 

We should have fun with the SKYPE call. Something new and different anyway.   Looking forward to warmer weather in northern AZ.   Cold and rainy here all weekend, maybe even SNOW!!   Take care and talk soon!

[oldbike54]

 Bump . Gotta keep up with JJ 

 Seriously , things are coming together nicely , and once again , thanks for everyone's patience . Will get more contact info up shortly in the stickies . Looks like we have folks coming in from all over  Still open to suggestions re activities .

 Dusty

Drones in the air...drones on the ground!  Jokers to the left, clowns to the right!  A drone sounds like a blast!  Enjoy winter....it's been 65-70 and blue skies this past weekend and the forecast is for more of the same!   

I'm going to experiment with bringing my portable projector as well so I can flash up the crew on a wide screen format...I guess the folks in Cottonwood will have to be huddled around a laptop unless one of you guys also has a projector.

Speaking of Datil...just a couple of months ago, we drove thru, got some pie at Pietown on the last day of the season!  Scrumptiously delicious as always, just like all other pilgrimages to the Pie Capital! 

Cheers!

[oldbike54]

 Speaking of pie , the city is curious if we are interested in a pie and coffee fundraiser at the museum featuring homemade pie .

Yes, then you can be just like PIE TOWN, New Mexico...just outside of Datil!! 

Home of the $35 pie...your choice of filling....

[Guzzistajohn]

Pie? did someone say Pie? 

[oldbike54]

Pie? did someone say Pie? 

 Somehow I knew that would get your attention . Yes , homemade pie , fresh from the kitchens of Cedar Vale KS
