I'm going to ride my old Eldo down Friday or Saturday. The white chili I had there before is worth the trip.

I'm planning on being there, hoping to ride my new (to me) Beemer to the event.  I have a bit of set up to complete, but I still have a week or so for that effort, so it should be ready for the trip.

Ride safe.

I will be there.  Louisville is getting a pretty good collection of Guzzi riders.  I try, but have not been able to convince them to attend the ralley. 


A pre ralley event going on in Louisville,  The Kentucky Kickdown.  Moto Guzzi has shown up at the past events with a line of new bikes.

I won't be bringing any bikes to the Kickdown this year, just too many things going on.
But the KickDown is a damned fine event, I enjoyed being there last year. Hell the fish hut next door would be worth the trip, in fact I may have to eat there on the way to the rally! As you can tell I'm a fan of good food!

Apparently this one can not be set up as a Sticky.  So we just need to keep pushing it back to the top of the non-Sticky list.

Why not? The other two rallies that take place at the same time as this one are. Maybe Rocker has not seen it yet.

Or bring Chickencock, that keeps me warm! Both the bottled kind and my better half, Heather aka chickencock here on the board.
Chuck in Indiana loved the bottled kind at last years National, if I can find some I will bring it to share!

Yes, for sure.  I'm a hundred or so miles north of the rally site and our morning temps have been in the mid-to-high 50's lately. 

However, I attended the Michigan Rally last weekend near Traverse City.  Sunday morning the temp was a cool-ish 34 degrees.  That makes the 50's sound not too bad.

I attended for a few hours last year as I was passing through Kentucky on my way to the Cherohala Skyway. Folks there were so nice, I vowed to return for the entire rally.  :boozing:
I'll be heading out today for the ride down to the rally.  Per Chuck's suggestion at the Michigan rally, I'll head over across the UP and down to Spring Green, WI. To check out the drift less region, down the Mississippi River Road and then over vie US 50.
Should be a great ride!  :bike-037:

You should be able to stretch the ride out to 6 hours if you take the back roads.  :thumb:

Well, it's 7AM. Time to get motivated and finish getting things together. Heading out in probably a couple hours. An extra night around that wonderful fire place is a good thing!

Unfortunately my better half (well sometimes) won't be with me. Here's a picture at last years national after she had too much of the chickencock and how she got her board name.

Another great Ky. rally in the books.  :thumb: Droned  :smiley: down on mediocre Indiana roads to a nice ride on 355 in Ky. Arrived in the early afternoon Thursday, and was greeted by John. Said he'd followed a little of the Aero engine saga, and thought it was cool. John Henry was already there helping set up. Couldn't stand it, and went out for the afternoon working on my chicken strips.  :evil: Don't get much chance to do that in Indiana.
At any rate, many of you know Sergio. Here's his old LeMans.. :thumb:

Beautiful part of the country.. nice folks. I *love* the Kentucky rally. I'd recommend it to your attention.  :smiley:
Oh, I picked up another plaque for most..er.. experienced.. yeah, that's the word.. rider on a Guzzi. :rolleyes:
