Anybody else thinking about going this year?  I've wanted to attend for some time now and finally pulled the trigger.  I'll be doing the ride the previous day on my '03 Rosso Corsa too. I think the ride fills up quickly, as it usually sells out.  My motto "Fun ain't cheap" applies here too!

This is on my list, maybe this year's list! I want to check with my usual riding partner, see if she's interested. If not, maybe I'll go it alone, and meet up.

Getting ready to head up the coast on Thursday to the Quail M/C Gathering up in Carmel,  The folks at Bring A Trailer invited me to park my Rosso Corsa in their corral, and comp'd me entry tickets for 2...so YAY on that.  Hope the weather holds and I keep the rubber side down on the ride!

Well, the ride was great on Friday!  100 miles of great roads and several laps of Laguna Seca Raceway just for added fun. They really didn't limit us on the track, so it was wide open...that corkscrew is incredible, and I have the greatest appreciation for racers who can rail it.   I was the only spine frame Guzzi that I saw, and a lot of folks had never seen a Rosso Corsa; and I got many compliments and thumbs up.  There were many Tonti customs, a very nice LeMans 3, some V85's and of course the venerable Falcone singles that did well on the ride.  

Saturday was wild, my wife and I were lucky to have early entry tickets to the show, and got to see most of the bikes...so many nice historic rides to see.  My Rosso was parked at the Bring a Trailer paddock...nice guys there too. About 1130 it started to rain, harder and harder...maybe 1.5 inches fell until about 4 pm!  We were fortunate to bail out early, put the bike on the trailer and get back to our room with out too much drama....it was the first time in 14 years that the event got rained on, but the show went on, and I was amazed that no one was complaining, griping or whining about the conditions.  

Its a great event, costly yes, but worth it....highly recommended!!
