Guzzi's are GO! wrap up

The much anticipated Guzzis are GO! has been and gone. This year we had 10 Guzzi's show up (actually 11 but Derek only has special interest reg and so unable to come any further than the Gordonvale servo). Without doubt the most interesting machine was Kev and Karen's heavily modified Guzzi Spada otherwise known to us in this country as an SP. Anyway we all showed up on time, even me who discovered a flat tyre when just about to leave home. Never done one of those squidgy cord repairs before, what a great invention! We left Gordonvale more or less on time and the weather gods were kind with the temp being just right. First to Etty bay, a small cove near Innisfail complete with tame(?) Cassowary wandering about, Kurramine Hotel was our next stop where we all lined up for the Traditional foreshore shot.

All too quickly it was time to move on to Mena Creek Hotel for lunch before taking the Palmerstone Highway up onto the tablelands where some of us stopped at the Peeramon Hotel for a cuppa (?) while the rest of us flew down the Gillies to meet the Channel 10 crew waiting to meet Kev and Karen. (They spent a lot of time filming for a 2 minute slot on the National news and here's the link

Heres what Kev and Karen had to say on their blog http://guzzioverland.posterous.com/ leading up to Guzzis are Go!
All up it was a bloody great day and if you clik on this link it'll take you to a 100 or so pictures of it

Looking forward to the next run. Anyone got one in mind? The next event in the "Comprehensive Social Life Organiser" is the Kuranda Bike Show which'll be good.
Hopefully there will be a catch up sooner than that...
Until then ABITE IN COLLES....
