Steve,
If you have hand-outs for me to take to Larz this Sunday, we could meet somewhere for a hand over. R3~

Saw the flyer at Hamlin Cycles the other day. Looks like a blast. I've just returned from NE and have used up available free time.
Pity as the event looks quite keen!

Looks like fun, but I'll be going to the 2nd annual Armadillo Rally in Leesville, LA. My good friend, Briney Jim and I will be riding our '07 Vintages to the event. There will be a ride with the mayor, vendor booths (including Guzzi/Aprilia dealer, Downtown Powersports), bike show, food, and live blues. Our route there will include a ferry ride across the Mississippi...

Steve, Tom, Chuck. shouldn't this be in the highlighted section on top?

Ralph Plant · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2017, 05:36:51 PM »

I don't think that I have missed this event since it's inception.
Lots of bikes, beautiful venue, great cause...what's better than that?

Wearing huge foam hats and riding 1978 Moto Demm Smily mopeds?

I just saw this and am thinking of riding down from central Maine. Any recommendations for a place to stay Saturday night?
TIA,

Nothing specific, but since it's Sturbridge...which is quite a tourist destination...there are a ton of alternatives.

I'll be there, the first M/C event I'll have attended since the Nat'l rally I rode my long-departed '74 Eldo LAPD to back in.........'03? '04? Maybe the guy who bought it will be there.

Look for the pseudo-rat Cal II Auto with Pacifico fairing and bicycle rack mounted to it. Rodekyll posted a pic of it here one time.

UPDATE: there will be a small assortment of original Moto Guzzi parts that will be on sale, with all proceeds going to charity (J.D.R.F.). This stash of goodies was generously donated by Al Marks--Marsh Motorcycles. Tom Bailey will be manning the Sale table...

Roebling3 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 22, 2017, 10:37:15 AM »

It's the year for Parilla's! Say what? Be there to find out. R3~
PS: It's all big fun. Hold your speed down when once turning off Rt. 20, also when leaving. Don't spoil your day

SLDMRossi · « **Reply #21 on:** September 22, 2017, 06:01:37 PM »

Just unearthed more goodies for the J.D.R.F. Charity Sale, at the IMOC Rally...courtesy Al Marks--Marsh Motorcycles.

Three fuel tanks...
Four or Five fenders...
A bunch of crash bars...

So bring your bike (and some cash), and see if any of this stuff fits! And have no fear, if you can't get it home, we'll figure out a way to get the stuff to you.

New hotel at the New Boston Rd/Rt 20 corner (across from my office), big place, Holiday Inn.

Also new pavement..

steven c · « **Reply #24 on:** September 24, 2017, 07:07:15 AM »

Looking good cameras and Lemans ready to go!

SLDMRossi · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2017, 06:43:53 PM »

Just wanted to thank everyone for the support. John, Norm and Al Anderson (a BMW guy) who worked the Gate with Lynn. And I'm glad they were there (Al's ex-Law Enforcement), because some guy went back and said to her..."let me see you left hand. Do you have a ring?" Only at an IMOC Rally...

Then, Tom Bailey cranked out every last nickle available from the Marsh Motorcycle Parts Sale table. Too bad Al Marks couldn't make it, his 92-year old sister died last night.

Meanwhile, Bob Andren went the extra mile, as always. He's got all the Judges names, too. I don't. As did our Official, Unofficial, Official Photographer...Stev e Cote who ran around like crazy. And Webmaster Joe Tamarkin just kept jumping in wherever/whenever necessary.

What a great day...and, we have a TON of money to donate to J.D.R.F....which will be Corporately matched, dollar for dollar.

And of course, there's no doubt I missed a person, or two...oops.

Thank You!

SR

Big fun, great people, my favorite charity, my favorite mc show and always very nice bikes.
Thank you, Steve and all that make this gathering happen.
Enjoyed the video, too. Nicely done. R3~

FYI. someone left a blue, homemade Pit/Paddock stand in the middle of the lawn at the Hamilton Rod & Gun Club (believe it, or not). It was more down toward the Ducati-end of the field.

So if anyone knows/hears of someonewho's looking for it, I have it here in Connecticut. Because...we're not allowed to leave anything on the grounds in Sturbridge.
