Farewell PNW....

Well, I got back from Afghanistan a coupe weeks ago, and got news my new Duty Station starting in January will be FT Meade MD, so another Continental US leapfrog back to my old stomping ground. I pack and drive next week. wahoo.... lol. I converted from a lifelong Yamaha obsession to Guzzi thanks to Moto International in Seattle, started with a GRiSO in April of 16, then added a Norge that Summer. I've had a blast riding all over the PNW, and Olympic Peninsula, cant wait to get the Beetle tuned GRiSO and Norge on the beautiful mountain roads of the East Coast. Plan a run up the East Coast to Price Edward Island Summer 2018, and the obligatory US 129/Cherahola Skyway, BRP, and TWA Reservoir rides.

Met some great guys out here in Seattle Area (Pete, Steve, and others), only had the chance to go to a couple rides and meet ups, but it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to linking up with others in the NOVA/Mid Atlantic Region.

PNW's loss is our gain. I attended three NE rallys last year and enjoyed them all. Check the MGNOC rally calender and we will see you on the road. DW

Welcome to the east coast! You'll find plenty of great roads and fellow Guzzi riders. Thanks too for your service - I have a son who is currently stationed in S. Korea with his family so I'm aware of the strain and challenges of a military career. Hope you can unwind from your tour and enjoy stateside life a while.

So many roads, so little, etc. So true.

Welcome home to the USA, and, happily for us, here. cheers

And, as Eric said, "thanks for your service."

As you likely already know, the roads within a day-ride's r/t distance of your new home are fine, mighty fine.

Hope to see you here at the top of Virginia sometime.

Steve,

It was good getting to know you and spending a little time with you out here on the West Coast. Enjoy your new home and keep in touch. If you're ever out this way again, you're always welcome to join us for a ride, or a breakfast.

Another Maryland GRiSO! Maybe a Mid-Atlantic Cabal next Spring?

I'll cross post and can probably pull a couple NJ club members.

Well, I tucked the GRiSO (and Norge) away, after a few hairy minutes of playing Evil Knievel..... Truck is loaded ready to roll tomorrow..... Had no Choice for the GRiSO loading situation, found a more favorable for the Norge..... East Coast Here I come![You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Have a safe trip...I remember those PCS moves from my tour in the Air Force. They seem to always be cross county runs!
