Western New York Moto Guzzi Family Rally in the Vineyards

June 8-10, 2018
Lake Erie KOA Kampground
NY Route 5
Westfield, NY

Dinner Friday, Saturday chicken barbeque available, biscuits and sausage gravy Saturday morning. Awards and 50/50 Saturday evening. Cold drinks and coffee all weekend. For details contact NY Rep Joe Casey joe_casey@msn.com 716-560-0562.
- "guzzigarage" on WG

See the World-Famous Lake Erie sunsets, wineries, breweries, & distilleries, antiques, smoked fish, beach glass, pies, & of course the great riding....

Unfortunately we've lost our dealer support - Kustom Workz of Buffalo is now a Triumph dealer, & apparently Triumph doesn't play well with others - KW had to give up Guzzi & Aprilia as direct competitors to Triumph.... And another one bites the dust. But on the plus side, if you're having an issue with your Guzzi at the rally, there's always someone there that can help!

We'd love to see YOU there...

Right in my backyard-but I'll be working the Guzzi demo area at Amaricade. Have fun! Southern Tier Brewery is not to be missed. About 1/2 hour away.

I'm planning on attending again this year. It was a good rally last year, camping in the vineyards was fun, and I won a bottle of wine as a door prize. I'm going to find that winery this year for sure.

Always a fine rally! Looking forward to it. With all the laughing that goes on there, these should be the happiest grape vines on the planet.

Love this rally, but me and my brother with Stelvio and Stornello are doing cross country same time.
Dammit.

Time for a bump

June's comin' fast....

Marylou and I hope to arrive sometime Thursday. ML's driving the "tin tent", I'm bringing the 1400 Eldo. I've got a music commitment back home Sunday AM, so we'll be headed home Saturday after supper. Figured we'd kinda make up for early departure by arriving a day early.

Zoom Zoom · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2018, 05:41:27 AM »

Getting close now.

Long-range prognostication:

Highs - mid 70's
Lows - mid 50'5

Slight chance of a T-storm Saturday, otherwise clouds & sun Fri to Sun

Chance of a good time - 100%..... depending on the company we keep, of course.... ;^)

See y'all soon!

Circus tent is up, firewood is piled, sun is shining - all ready for ya!!

See you tomorrow

Had at least 2 dozen bikes in already last night (Thursday). Should be a good'un!

You guys have fun , and please keep John Henry out of trouble

Got back early from Americade (LONG story) and went down early this am to see the gang and have coffee. As in the past several years, I gave a bunch of those nice Guzzi decals to Joe so he can distribute as he sees fit. Met several from here for the first time and reconnected with others. What a GREAT way to start Saturday!

Here's a few shots from the weekend, for anyone interested. Mostly the bikes, 'cuz I like the bikes.....

Just curious if you made it over to Barcelona Harbor? My Dad and brothers helped build the replica of the 16th century sailing vessel, the Sea Lion.
I was born and raised in Fredonia, lived in and worked for the Village of Westfield before moving to Florida in 1980. Still have friends and family in the area.

hidn45 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2018, 09:10:14 PM »

Barcelona is one of my favorite places on the lake (& it's a big lake....). We used to stop there for smoked fish when I was a kid, & still do. I often took my breaks at the pier when I was a Schwan's guy in Westfield.

I know the guy who did the forged ironwork for the Sea Lion. He has since retired due to health problems. Great project.

The Harbor is just a pleasant walk from the Rally grounds. It truly is a great area. And a small world...

I wish I had known the background of the Sea Lion before now. I couldn't help but notice it was missing. Google suggests it is on its way to a final destination in Virginia to be restored, with a stop in Albany, NY. I'm not sure where it presently is in its journey, but it sounds like there is a preservation group involved.

I'm curious, was it ever sea worthy? In all the years I have gone there, it has been grounded and without masts.

Kind of sad to see it gone, but good to know it will get some attention.
