The giant WG National threadfest

[oldbike54]

Remind me Dusty of the placeholder dates for 2018?

 May 3-6 Paul . Only 170 days , gonna need to start working on it 

 Chuckie is suggesting we call it the Wild Guzzi National at Cedar Vale . If we can get one Canadian lured down it seems we should get all self important and call it

          The Wild Guzzi International Spectacular at Cedar Vale

 Hmm , maybe knot , seems a bit pretentious 

 Dusty

[PJPR01]

Seems only fair we should invite the chaps from the Southern Hemisphere as well, that would give it the proper flavor and balance things out a bit!

Thanks for the dates...was hoping it was the weekend before...less conflict with work related activities, but will see what can be juggled.

By the way...searched the archives, but no pics of the Guzzis tilting at windmills on the way up to C. Vale.  Thought I had a few on the trip Don Quixote Prescott  and I took the year before, unfortunately we didn't stop in those spots.

[SmithSwede]

Don Quixote Prescott ?

Don Quixote Prescott ?

Tilting at Windmills my friend - a literary reference to the area we went thru just south of the Kansas border where all of the wind turbines are, you remember, the area preceding the scene where the spark plugs began to sputter on the V7.

Dusty was looking for pics on that...I didn't have any from that area as I recall we may have been riding at a rather spirited pace!

Deb and I will be back,thanks for organizing this great event!

 It is a group effort . We very much enjoyed having the folks from the upper Midwest attend . We are working on a couple of improvements for 2018 .

[oldbike54]

 Ahem , 4 days here 

 Dusty

[Chuck in Indiana]

Ahem , 4 days here 

 Dusty

I thought, uhh.. what?? Then realized you were referring to the 1 day "National" in Washington that IMHO looks to be designed to bring in customers to the bar. 
I realize that HD rallies do this, but have my doubts that many Guzzi people will buy in. <shrug> I know I wouldn't ride 3 days from SoCal for one day at a bike/car show.
CV, like you say, is centrally located, has 4 days of camping, bonfire, *really* nice pavilion, etc.
Oh. And catfish & hushpuppies..

[oldbike54]

 Yes Chuckie , and there is a new liquor store opening up right across from the C store , so we have it all now

Won't the bustling supermarket be bent out of shape that their liquor sales will be now stolen by a new upstart in town?  Unless it's the same owner of course!

 3.2 beer is liquor ? 

 We were told it is a different owner , we might need to take some advance orders so they don't run out of stock

My recollection is quite different.   I recall my scrupulous adherence to all applicable traffic and safety laws, my usual practice as an officer of the court. 

I was more like Dudley Do-Right (another literary reference).

                               The Incomparable Incredible Unparalleled
                                          Gathering in The Vale

 OK , maybe a bit pretentious 

 Look , we call this thing the "Knottarally" , in reality it can function as a National gathering , the park will hold hundreds , the town supports us , and despite popular belief , there are some very fun roads close by .

                The 2018 Wild Guzzi National
                         Cedar Vale KS
 
 How does that sound folks ?

[Chuck in Indiana]

Works for me. 😁

[kirby1923]

:-)

[oldbike54]

 Changed the heading to keep Chuckie happy 

 Is it it alright if I still call it the Knottanational in my head ?
