Don't miss this one. Every year now may be the last, and it's the best rally I've been to. They feed the crap out of you.

I normally wouldn't miss it. Depending on what happens with the cutter, I'll probably be on 4 wheels, or not at all. :sad:

I hope this is true.  This has always been the best feed of all the Guzzi Rallies.  I love everything about this rally!  But I haven't seen anything yet that they are putting it on this year, so I kind of assumed last year was the end.........

you guys are killing me. Just this weekend made a commitment for May 21 in Chicago, and this rally is well within striking distance for me.

Maybe I can cause some conflict with those other plans. This sounds like great event.

We are going to try our best to make it this year.  It's been too long since our last visit.  Good chance of a LM3 and a big car filled with junk showing up.

I have heard from a good source Mrs. Tinkham,, it could happen on May 20-21. A rally meeting is scheduled for next weekend to try and work things out. However,,,Ron still has a few treatments to get through between now and then. We all have our fingers crossed for now. You can hold the date open for now but until you see the flyer posted it's a wait & see situation.
