Our friends, Paul & Kerry Dickson of Tasmania, are avid Guzzi riders and
collectors. Regina and I stayed at their home when we toured Tasmania
last November, 2015.

This summer, 2016, they are planning for an extended Canada/USA
cross-country. They have purchased a beautiful '74 Eldorado Police in
Nova Scotia and will start their tour there. They fly into NYC on June
21st to spend a week there before fetching the bike in Nova Scotia.
After local touring they will start westward on July 4th. They are
scheduled to attend a family wedding in Pictin, Ontario on July 9 and
then gently wend westward without a direct routing plan as yet. They
want to see the Milwaukee Harley Museum and visit Sturgis along the way.
They need to reach Portland, OR by August 14th and then join us in
California before flying out of San Francisco on August 21.
Essentially, the first third will be in southern Canada with the final
two thirds across the northern tier of the US. That's about it for
current planning.

I will be keeping in regular contact with them as they travel and will
report their travel progress back to this group. If it sounds like you
are along their route and would like to meet or could offer lodging or
maintenance support then contact me and I'll put you in direct touch
with them.

Hello Patrick,
If they end up anywhere near the Vancouver, BC Canada area, they are welcome to stay in our guest cottage and make use of my shop.
Regards, Alan in Roberts Creek

Patrick,

I'd be glad to help any way I can. I live in the Adirondack Mts NY about a days ride from Pictin. I'm quite familiar with the roads in Nova Scotia, NB, Quebec, Maine, NH, Vermont, New York and Ontario and would be happy to map out a few different routes.

Hi Patrick,
Please put them in touch with me.  I'm a mile north of Detroit where they will likely be crossing the border into the US.  I've got a bunch of loopframe spare parts and tools in case they need them and they can stay at my house for a night or two.  Also, if they time it right they could join me on they morning of July 15th when I ride my loopframe down to the antique motorcycle show and swap in Wauseon, Ohio.  (http://www.wauseonnationalmeet.org/).  They could camp at the show with me and from there they could continue up to Chicago or Milwaukee.
Thanks!
Jeff Buick
