Baldini Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Why have you an apostrophe in 'the rider's past it?'? ... It is a grammatical error. Sorry. KB
guznax Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 There is a thread on UK Club forum for a while now asking if anyone would be interested in a Guzzi trackday. It got ONE response - mine. Unfortunately, I am very unreliable - so if it was raining or cold, or I had to work, there may be zero riders turn up on the day & I don't think the organiser wanted to take that risk... I love track days, but it's quite an effort to get out & I rarely do them. Family & work take precedence & nowadays I feel a bit vulnerable sat in the paddock amongst all the vans & tyre warmers on my only transport home. I tend to tag on to an open trackday at the last minute (when I see the weather's looking good) - & that sort of attitude is no use to people planning a day. It'd be nice to be out with other Guzzis, but as BFG has recently been saying, it's about attitude & being out there, not the make of bike you ride, I kind of like being the weird old duffer in the corner on his unheard of antique, & the puzzled looks. I remember that day MGCGB did at Ty Croes. My gearbox had blown up & I only got it finished that morning but I rode up to have a look anyhow. There were some interesting bikes there, & I guess they're mostly still around but are the rider's past it? How many people do you reckon in UK are into sports Guzzis, or running tuned/modified bikes? I notice you no longer visit the UK forum, Guy. Seems anyone with a sporting interest seems to drop out after a while. The central clique there do not appreciate sportsbikes & are pretty discouraging. It's a shame & I've often thought similar to you - set up some sort of umbrella for those interested in that side of things. I think we need to do a bit of work on the name tho...any suggestions BFG? Tell you what, I'll start a new thread.... GUZZNAX: HOPE YOU ALL HAVE GOOD WEATHER & A GREAT DAY! KB We take a lot of effort in advertising because many Guzzi-riders never join forums: - advertising on forums in Holland, Belgium, GB, Germany, here etc - advertising in Club magazine Moto Guzzi Club Holland (2500 members) Moto Guzzi club Belgium (700 members) - send posters and flyers to 30 dealers - convince people at Guzzi-happenings - advertising in other Dutch Bike magazines 25000 readers each. - advertising at homapages of clubs and on Site Teo lamers - e-mail list of people who joined before or were interested - invite special Guzzi's like Peter Jansen or Jens Hofmann. - we would also like to have e V8 one day :-) Together with that we arranged a discount for registries an we arranges sponsors to cover the expenses. Our goal is to grow slowly up to a whole day with only Guzzi's. we think we will succeed, because when a critical mass has joined other people will also join because a Guzzi-day is quite a unique happening. we also had viewers last year who joined us a year later. Inportant other thing. Do not focus only on sportsbikes, because they we made in too few numbers. we made the day also suitable for classics and touring bikes by adding a beginners-instruction and a classic group.
Baldini Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Great work Guzznax! Good luck to all of you ! Maybe one year I'll get over for your Guzzi-only day! KB 1
