 For the record I did ride my '69 V7 from Syracuse about a 3 1/2 hour
ride to Lake George. Camped with friends just outside village on Wed,
til Sat. Got rained on, but was still good event. Friday was 721 &
sunny, by far the nicest day of the week. I counted 3 Guzzi's,
including my own. I'll change count up to 4, unless you were there on a
white or green California. The 2 lane roads in and around that area are
a natural ride on a loopframe. Tom

came out by the thousands to Americade, it was something to see. I
stayed
Friday night and left Saturday morning and so I was not there long
enough to
find out if they offered demo rides on the new Guzzis. I did see people
lining up to ride the Vrod though. Thanks for your replies. It's
interesting to find out what peoples opinions are of 50,000 cycle event.

That's all from Montreal....hoping to run into a slightly more classy
crowd
next rally I find.

Hi all,

This weekend I heard there was some big motorcycle event only 3
hours away from Montreal. So my girlfriend jumped on the back of the
old
eldo and we cruised down to Lake George, NY. This was not ordinary
event.
It took nearly two minutes after our exit to be completely absorbed by a
pack of a hundred motorcycles. There was so much noise and excitement
that
it was at least a half hour before I stopped shaking with amazement.
Guys,
can someone tell me what that was all about. From where I grew up I
only
knew of Daytona. Did I attend the eastern version? And why no guzzi's?
