The 2010 MGNOC National Rally was held in the pine forests and across juniper-covered mountains of scenic Eastern Oregon. What better place to catch up with old friends, kick tires, ride and admire the new Moto Guzzi’s?

The rally was hosted by the Oregon chapter of the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club. A very special thank you goes out to Oregon chapter representative, Gerri Genkins for putting on such an excellent rally.

Many thanks to Empire Cycle & Powersports of Spokane, WA and Cascade Moto Classics of Beaverton, OR for attending the rally and providing Logistical and vehicle support for the rally.

Moto Guzzi USA conducted hour-long rides in the morning and half-hour rides on roads made for motorcyclists.

The quality of the roads in John Day, Oregon and throughout the Malheur National Forest is excellent. The demo crew even came upon a herd of wild cattle on the route through the Malheur forest! The smooth, twisty, and uncrowded roads allowed us to showcase how good the Moto Guzzi product really is. Whether it was fifth-gear sweepers or first-gear hairpins, each and every Moto Guzzi performed flawlessly.

In addition to conducting demo rides, Moto Guzzi USA also offered complimentary technical service to all rally attendees.

The Moto Guzzi USA technical department worked tirelessly and patiently each and every day to help owners diagnose and treat their vehicle issues. Throughout the past few years Moto Guzzi USA has provided this service at the rally and it has been a big hit with the Guzzisti.

We look forward to the 2011 Moto Guzzi National Owners Club Rally! Check mgnoc.com to find out more on your local chapter and their next rally.
