belfastguzzi Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 There's something not right, talking about summer 2010 before summer 2009 has properly arrived, however time flies and more to the point, calendars do have to be planned. At the 2008 V11 UK meet there was some enthusiasm for having a Denmark-Soren meeting. Speculation is that it may be Switzerland now, as Soren is moving there, but it could still be Denmark? Let's allow this thread to float around so that proposals can be mentioned from time to time. An idea can be formed of: what, where, when next year. I've said in the 2009 thread: If a Continental trip is on the cards then I'd need to get a probable date, or possible dates, into the calendar soon. I doubt if I could set aside the required time anyway, but if it could be possible, it would be best for me in July or August. It's more logical to talk about a V11 Forum Rally now, rather than a V11 UK meet. If the main Forum meet is on the Continent, a UK meet could happen at a different time anyway, coordinated through the Forum, and I will probably organise another low-key Guzzi get together in Northern Ireland. Plenty of scope in the blue bits here!
antonio carroccio Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Say, I thought those meetings in UK were "forum meeting" and not particulary "UK meeting" Only the location was in UK, but it still was a general forum meeting. I guess I have got that wrong... <_>Anyway, glad to help organizing a "forum meeting" here on the continent.
Guzzirider Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Shall we insist that all attendees must actually ride a V11 to the meeting! That would keep the riff raff away!
antonio carroccio Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I have got the point Guy <_>Still will help organize it if not able to be part of it.
macguzzi Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 This rally idea has to be booted around, I'm willing to organise a Scottish meet at any time, I do feel Denmark could be expensive for all especially those coming from the UK. I'm up for an NI visit as I missed the last one. What about Islay great roads, and booze!
Admin Jaap Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 As always I'm up for any meet anywhere... I'm willing to do the V11 Forum meeting next year if Soren doesn't have time. And september 2012 I will organise the 10 year jubilee meet at la Chaussee in Sibbe again. Thanks to Antonio who reminded me!
DeBenGuzzi Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 OH god, should have the 10 year at Mandello del Lario that would be AWESOME, sure probably not very practical so Amsterdam would work too and I WANT TO GO, sure hope I could afford it by then I'll start saving now.

Jaap you mentioned another good place that you have used before... in Netherlands?
Orson Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 And september 2012 I will organise the 10 year jubilee meet at la Chaussee in Sibbe again. That would conveniently come before the Mayan calendar end of the world thingie
Admin Jaap Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Jaap you mentioned another good place that you have used before... in Netherlands? La Chaussee is the place where we did the 5-year jubilee meeting in september 2007. Great place, ask Guzzirider
Guzzirider Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 La Chaussee is the place where we did the 5-year jubilee meeting in september 2007. Great place, ask Guzzirider Yes its a nice little place- Paul the owner rides a Guzzi, is a good guy and will get you drunk. Not too far from Eiffel mountains or Ardennes for ride outs. Only an hour and a bit from the ferry at Rotterdam, close to Belgium / Germany / France. HTM Guzzi just a few miles across the border in Aachen if you wish to tune your bike up. Choice of camping or B & B. Last time I was there I made the mistake of ordering some beers in Dutch so Paul made me work behind the bar! Dutch MAG have made a small video which is on You Tube
jihem Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 OH god, should have the 10 year at Mandello del Lario that would be AWESOME, sure probably not very practical so Amsterdam would work too and I WANT TO GO, sure hope I could afford it by then I'll start saving now. Not wanting to slide away from the thread, but does anyone know if there will be the Mandello September days this year ?
luhbo Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Several sources say no. There's a thread already, very well disguised, though Hubert
