Next SoCal V7/9 Ride - Where to and when?

So, an FYI....Doffo Winery in Temecula has a reputation as the Motorcycle Winery, of sorts, I guess. I have never been there but it is literally 15 minutes from my house. If you go to their Facebook page, they have a Motorcycle race watching party this weekend, free tickets. The "about us" section shows a bike museum of sorts, and some bike gear.....I might stop by to see what it is all about............Nov. 3rd.

I’m good friends with Marcelo and Family... since he first moved there and opened. Good people, and an impressive array of motos. He has several Guzzis. One below, but both are his as displayed at the Moto Beach Classic last weekend. I’ve never been to any of his small gatherings as it’s just too far away with my current schedule... but I say go! Hopefully others can join you. A handful here from your area.

Hi all, planning to join these folks on this ride on Sunday:

https://motorepublic.com/eastside-3rd-sunday-ride

Will start in Eagle Rock at 9 ish (kickstands up at 930) and will be at the Rock Store about noon. I won't be bringing my Racer (got my FZR 400 out of mothballs and want to give it a shakedown run before I put it up for sale), but I'd love to ride with some of my fellow Guzzi friends. Let me know, or hope to see you at the Rock Store around noonish... Todd, would love to meet you and talk about some pipes etc for the Racer...
 
Riding down to Long Beach Motorcycle Show on Sunday if anyone wants to join. Have a decent group with at least 3 guzzi's confirmed so far. We'll meet at Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company at 11am in Beverly Hills. Then head down around 11:30am.

Wish I lived up in that area, but alas, I am taking our car and my wife. She is a hoodie fanatic, and will buy a hoodie wherever we go, hope they have some cool ones. The show T-Shirts look ok......
 
I went to the show today.... Voted Todd's bike best in that class... BTW, He got a great placement for his bike :) Enjoy the show! Look forward to the next ride!
Thank you Sandy! A handful of people asked me about voting... how did you go about it? I didn’t see any mention of it this year.

How was the show overall? I have heard mixed reviews on the shows in general, how was the Long Beach show and is it worth going to, planning on going up tomorrow............

Last year was my first year. Felt like a kid in a candy store. This year, the appeal has gone for me.

I went specifically to look at heated gear options.

Overall, it's super crowded on Saturday. I met up w some Guzzi friends from Arizona. They went on Friday, and stated they pretty much had free run of the hall, very few people there.

The show had a lot retro cafe bikes on display this year, that was really cool to see.

The real show is in the parking lot and seeing everyone's bikes.

I really enjoy the show, but I only go on Sundays. I hear Fridays are great too. It's really fun if you are trying to look at a specific bike you might not see in person like the new BMW r18 or the Harley Davidson adventure bike. Last year they had the v85tt in person and that was awesome too. There are a lot of small vendors there that can be really fun to talk to, and even some of the big vendors will offer discounts - revzilla had AGV x300 helmets there for $250 (their black Friday special price). Cardo gave me an email to write to their engineer about an issue I was having. Just a lot of fun in that way. Expensive food and drinks and can be crowded at times like any sort of convention center event.
 
I plan on joining you all tomorrow. Will be leaving the Anaheim area about 8:30 in the morning if other people are looking to ride out. Stop and fill up at the Mobile gas station at Lincoln and the 57.

You might arrive first, feel free to put in for a table of 6 or so. I'm meeting another rider in Rancho (210/15) at 9 am.
