It is not easy to find a hotel or an Inn to accept such a big party of motorcycle riders. The female manager of Nakadana-sou herself is a rider and this is the 2nd time she kindly accepts the big party after the 4th Le Mans Conference in 2012.
Entrance of the Inn has become a conference reception
With some of the members' bikes are displayed
Mint condition early LM1 and V7 sport with Kawasaki Mach
Ice Blue LM1 is cool
A T3 and 2 loops
Registering at the reception, you receive a name card and a Pin badge
T-shirt in 2 variations, Le Mans and Loop, are also available
After checking in, I went to the authentic hot spring to refresh
Then Guzzi lovers just watch bikes and talk about bikes
More Guzzis in the 2nd parking
And the third
4th parking. Somehow quite a number of Guzzista also own BMW RS. Is it so in your country also?
Finally, dinner time.
All we talk about is Moto Guzzi and other motorcycles.
Each member is requested to bring a present which will be randomly exchanged.
Present could be a Guzzi part, miniature, something silly, sometime something erotic...
He has got an Italian flag! We all love Italy and Italian bikes.
I got a lubricant anda pair of Guzzi guards.
The chairman Ducaman gives a speech. He is the man who started the conference 6 years ago.
It must have been a great effort for him and the host members to organize such big event with 80 accommodation.
At 9pm, we move from the restaurant to a hall in the Inn. Night is long and we continue drinking and talking.
On Sunday morning, we took a group shot. Fabulous moment that I felt united.
And it was not easy to move 80 motorcycles from the Inn to Mototeca Coffee shop where we held the main conference.
