Some bitter taste about MG-Piaggio, if things go their way I'll have my MG parking since December 2005. Only thanks to the extra efforts of MPH (local dealer, Thanks !!!) my bike is back on the road... MG owes me a gas tank -warranty approved- last winter.

 

So wife and kid will be going to Spain, and I'll stay here in the flintstone's State of the super power of the world. I'll be riding my MG, enjoying the heat, the silence, some new-old books :bier: .

 

:race:

Probably I will be there with my friend Dennis.

He is riding a Ducati Monster but he doesn't know yet he has a Guzzista heart :P

 

If I will come love to meet the other V11forum members.

I will not sleep in the area, My parents still reside in Milano and If I am there I shall show up to them for some sleep.

I was seriously planning going there,

but when I look closer at the date it turned out that I am heavily

engaged in non-volontary activities that weekend. :huh2:

 

Instead I am now planning to go to the MotoGP finale in Valencia at the

end of october. Would be nice to meet some Guzzisti there....

How about meeting up at the Guzzi factory at 12.00 noon on Saturday 16th September?

 

I propose meeting at the Norge poster located to the left of the main entrance, as shown in this photograph:

I've also posted the same idea on the :mg: Breva/Griso web site - but don't let that put you off :)

I perhaps be there , as I plan to pass shortlly in my way home, any ideas for accomodation? I guess they are all booked up . It is 16 Sept right?.

Don't have a forum T shirt

I guess all local Mandello accommodation will be fully booked up by now - perhaps searching for hotels in Lecco or Como might prove fruitful.

 

As for recognising each other on Saturday 16th.....I'll be wearing a red V11lemans.com t-shirt and I'm 6ft 3" tall (1.92m) with blond hair. I'll also have one trouser leg rolled up and have a pink carnation :D.....

I'll be there! If my ducati is willing to take me.. :-D Look for Finnish flags or signs/badges of the finnish Guzzi club, Gruppo Moto Guzzi Finlandia. There will be quite a few of us.

Our hotel in Mandello del Lario - Al Verde - had one double and one single room available at lunchtime today (UK time) so if anyone is still chasing accommodation give them a ring on 00 39 0341 735 104.

Have seen lots of pics of the meeting and I recon these days It would be imposible to find space in that point

Pehaps a parking lot or a gas station in the near could be easier.

Well I have been used so to your avatar pic that I have forgotten how you look. If I'd see some one with dark hair white T' jean jacke and a bottle of bier :drink: I would assume that has to be Jap. ;)

 

 

OK I would try to be there though I have not found till now any hotel or so. Anways if you see a sport corsa with Mistrals, Gas sensor , Rossopuro guards muschrums , some carbon parts and a rider with AGV helmet that looks like that :helmet: that that's me. :grin:

To clarify - I should have stated that we would meet on foot at the Norge poster. As you correctly pointed out Alex, there's no way we'll be able to park there. We'll be parked in the bike park opposite the factory.

 

At least there'll be three v11lemans.com members at the meeting point 12.00 noon Saturday - myself, Jane and Jaap.

 

Antonio are you making the trip to Mandello?

Chris, I would love to, but I am afraid I have to travel alone and no me gusta mucho.

Besides, I have to repair the gearbox, it is leaking oil, damn :angry: and I better spare the money to do it.

Anyway, have a good time there and take it easy with the grappa :P
