Greetings, Moto Guzzi friends. Isn’t this amazing riding weather we’re having? I don’t remember ever having such a mild August. I can’t wait ‘til next Saturday so I have an excuse to ride! (I commute on the bike nearly every day, but that’s not very exciting.)
We’re going to cross over the mountains again this month and meet at Nick’s Italian Kitchen in Buena Vista. As most of you know, for many years we held the Virginia Guzzi Rally in Buena Vista. I always enjoy going back. Nick’s has good food, too. The last time I was there I was surprised how good the eggplant was. So here are the vitals:
When: 12:30 on Saturday, 8/16/2025.
Where: Nick’s Italian Kitchen, 1314 Magnolia Avenue, Buena Vista, VA, 24416.
Why: “Food, fun, and fellowship” (as the church folk like to say)
Phone: Nick’s phone number is
(540) 261-7992.
If you need to contact me, my email address is
mjon...@yahoo.com. My cellphone is
(434)-333-8333, though I’m decidedly prone to ignoring it. As always, all brands are welcome, as are non-motorcycle modes of transit. If the weather turns wet again, let’s don our raingear and ride anyway!
Ride safe,
Mike

"Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer." -Immanuel Kant
