It's on the riding calendar.  The plan is to arrive on Thursday.  Looking forward to camping next to Lake Superior.  Don't know yet how I'm going to get back to Indiana but will carry my passport in case the trip through Canada calls me.

I always knew I'd get old.  How fast it happened was a bit of a surprise, though.

The Canadian Border patrol reports increased interest by Canadian ladies wanting cross over into the USA to meet the traveling Lake Como imports thinking George Clooney might be among the attendees.

John,  Do we have to make advance reservations at the camp site for Thursday?  Thanks.

I really messed up the planning of the trip I took. If I would have looked forward more It could have coincided with this rally and I could have stayed a few days.  :violent1: Tempted to run back up there for it but it would be a long 1 day ride up, stay a day, and a long 1 day ride back.  Don't think my replacement alternator will be in by then anyways. Hope you guys post a few pics for us.

This rally looks dumb.. I can't, for the life of me figure out why anyone would even consider going..   :wink:

Thanks to the attendees who made the trek north to the harbor town of Grand Marais.  For many  it was their first time this far north and to see a yard full of Italian product...unheard of!   :thumb:


How about some 3.5's


Chad rode his Loop over.


Dick Cooter left the V11 Sport at home and rode his Norton to the Guzzi Nationals including a trip thru Newfoundland Canada on the way to the MN Rally...5,000 miles total!!!


Winners of the Scooterville T-shirts (New Guzzi Dealer in Mpls) model their shirts.



Everyone had a smile all weekend


Yes, the air conditioning was on......

I was wanting to meet you but in the rush of the rally did not get to put a face with the name.  Post your photo!
