I'm sorry!!!!

I feel that I'm to blame that remark about there not being an oldest bike award or mention whatever, from the following mail dated 6-30-04 @ 3:49 PM.


"I agree with you Pat.
I would of thought that the national would have an award for the oldest bike
that was ridden there.

Do you have any thoughts on this JU?

A good time was had by everyone that didn't break down, even though the
temps could have been about 20 degrees warmer.

Randy Wilson "

My intent was not to get anything brewing, just as a comment, since this was my first Guzzi National, regional, state, county, local, next door or whatever that I have participated in.
I feel privileged to have been part of this growing motorcycle community.

As I told John Ulrich, this list and the national rally in my "backyard" was the reason to get off my ass and get my Guzzi on the road after a 14 year rest.

I have not seen another Guzzi on the road in southeast SD since one was travelling through 3 yrs ago on the way to Sturgis. Although I have owned my v700 since 1981, I feel like the new kid on the block since I don't have any one else to play with.

My intent was not to create a ruckus. I only wanted to know if other rallies, national or otherwise, have a oldest bike recognition. Loop or whatever, just as normal conversation.

I agree with Ian that I can get off my soapbox now.

P.S. It was 37 degrees sunday morning when we hit the road home. brrr!

Bill, I am glad you have ridden 30 years and are still with us. Don't complain because they did not have the "Oldest Bike Ridden" . Be happy that they had a National in such a Perfect and beautyful place as South Dakota and that so many people gave their time to try to make sure you were happy and enjoy the rally. GIve me a break..
Stop bitching about they "did not have Singles " or this or that . the way I perceived it they were a very small amount of people that try very hard to put a National. You Don't Like it...put one of your Own and make it better....
Roberto.
Just came back from playing darts in the league , it is pass 12;00 am and had 3 or 4 or 5 Jack daniels ...but this is my story and I am sticking to it................

Hello All!

This is my first time so be gentle!....due to the kindness friendliness of Charlie Mullendore, I found out about this mailing list at this year's West Virginia Rally, and have been reading all your e-mails since then, so now I thought maybe it's time for my two cents worth.

First of all, I've been riding for over thirty years, and have finally found my niche'....Moto Guzzi. I have had or ridden just about every brand of bike you can think of, all of them were great fun, and many I still have, but my 1973 Eldorado is the best! Having attended just two Rally's (WVA & Western New York), I can tell that Guzzi people are for real. Not the "Yuppie" type, or the "Look how bad I am" type, just plain, good folks.

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the National, but very surprised that there wasn't an award for the "Oldest bike" ridden! I was a long time member of the BMWMOA and even they used to have "Oldest bike" awards. One of my favorite memories is going to the 1981 BMW Four Winds Rally at the "still wet behind the ears" age of 18, on a ratty but running like a clock 1951 R25 single and beating out an old guy (who was about thirty, but old to me then) with a perfect looking 1952 Sunbeam, (needless to say, he wasn't so happy about getting upstaged by a kid!)

Anyway, put in my vote for having an "Oldest bike ridden" award at ALL the Rallies...people that love and ride the old stuff need rewarded for their efforts!

Hope to see and meet you all at Vintage Days!

Bill Snyder
