Italian Day 9/20/2025

Last year on Italian Day at Portland Cars & Coffee was a motorcycle mega-load!

But @activpop is eager to make a big showing from the V11 Sport crew this year. Sadly I can't commit yet but I hope some other folks can make it. @MotoKnee and @Gmc28 have been listed as possible attendees.

For the details if you've never been before it's not actually in Portland... it's in Sherwood at Langers.

21650 SW Langer Farms Pkwy, Sherwood, OR 97140

It's a little tricky as you need to line up on Century Drive before 8am. Look for a slew of Ferraris and Lambos, plus a smattering of Alfas and Fiats. Something will show up that you've never seen before.

Given that there are around 20 registered V11 Sport forum members in this area at least a few should be able to make it.

Thanks for rattling the cage, @swooshdave. V11's would be nice, but any Guzzi will do. Last year we were the only two in a sea of Ducatis.

What coincidence! There was in Italday in the Netherlands too yesterday: https://www.italdag.nl/
Sadly, I couldn't make it this year. Fun meet, with lots of special Ital bikes.

Did Guzzi make other models? I was not aware.

Thanks for the reminders gentlemen, I have attached a post-it note to my desktop monitor as the fail-safe reminder.

I will try to get out bright and early on Sat.

Sadly the Dutch Guzzi Club, MGCN.NL, could not make it either as the classics were at the Veteran Bike show in Woerden (https://www.nationaalveteraantreffen.com/) and the Touring committee was with 50 bikes in the Pyrenees. Just to much to do.

So no stand with Guzzi.
