Anthro Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 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 . Anthro
antonio carroccio Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 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 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.
gthyni Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 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. 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....
V11UK Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 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 Breva/Griso web site - but don't let that put you off
Alex-Corsa Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 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
V11UK Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 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 .....
vtwin Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 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.
V11UK Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 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.

Oi, that's me you're describing! I'll see you there on Saturday. 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 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 that that's me.
Paul Minnaert Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Alex, I go with TLM, they rented in BARZIO, Maggio. but there are a lot more places in these towns. you don't have to call: Hotel Esposito, BARZIO Albergo Hotel Cacciator, MAGGIO CREMENO LC Albergo Cristallo, BARZIO Albergo Vittoria ,BARZIO Albergo Maggio, MAGGIO Albergo Al Clubino, CREMENO (CO) these are were TLM rented, so these are booked out. http://www.secerchitrovi.com/alberghi/lecco/barzio.htm http://www.valsassina.biz/view_cat.asp?mac...amp;action=list

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 and I better spare the money to do it. Anyway, have a good time there and take it easy with the grappa
