I sent the smoke signal last night, should be good - thx!

Are you referring to the bolt circled in purple or green? (or somewhere else) I did remove the entire shift lever and the bolt circled in purple, cleaned and lubed during the install of the shift extender. I have not made any adjustments to the bolt/mechanism circled in green yet.

A large proportion? We have about 50.000 farmers in NL, and maybe 200 have sold their farm. Most of them have no successor and they sold their farm voluntarily and for good money. So no, I don't think we have a lot of newbie bikers here that are former farmers. Why the increase? My guess is road congestion and parking fees.

The bolt that acts as a pivot might be rusted in the bore of the shifter. The nut on the end is a locknut and the frame is threaded holding the shifter in place . Back off the nut a couple of turns and back off the bolt one revolution . If the shifter tries to move with the bolt it is rusted in place . Remove the bolt and lubricate everything and reinstall . Test it and see if it is better.

Develop a test procedure for everything . You will understand why after payiing for not needed parts . AKA , the education is nice but the tuition is killing me !

The Rolling stones ; GREAT , the thing tat made them so good was , their lousy playing and almost out of tune music . Mick's voice was pathetic. You think they were a garage band playing in front of their neighbors for the first time . Yes they got a little wholesome for a while but I thank the Rock n Roll gods they got back to where they should be . Get Yer Yaya's Out. MMMMMM. As it should be , loud and lousy ! On second thought , yeah I would pay $500 maybe $600 if they would come over but they would have to start playing about 3 in (I take tea at three) the afternoon !

Paul, I might pick them up in Denver or St Louis. Maybe Memphis. Bev and I are considering Dead & Co at the Sphere and TTB in T-town. Talk about a logistics exercise. Hackney is the best new Stones studio in 40 years. Did Chanel sing "Sounds of Heaven, Sympathy, Shelter, or Can't Always Get"? All or some? Someone should post "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" here. Great Stones gospel.

fact, google it.

Thanks Docc...message sent now to Pascal.

This is an intro into the above post. The report itself is a little long to read so it will only appeal to some, but for those who find detail interesting it is a fascinating in depth dive into what’s driving the transport agenda in the UK Question is: why are all these US billionaire's inserting themselves into another sovereign country’s processes

@p6x has been amazing with this "Team Building!" As of today, he has updated the (closed) sign-in list with the following addresses pending: @audiomick @Randy @Gmc28 @PJPR01 @po18guy @Dave Swanson

It has been listed for about a month. I just saw it today. https://www.facebook.com/share/aKvdbXQVKVmhXxQx/?mibextid=kL3p88

interesting topic! i'll only add that i drug my kids to hawaii to certify, since i just wanted it to be easy and fun, and we scored on both counts (but more than a decade ago). I certified in Alaska, and loved it, but it was in fact a goat-rope if comparing it to warm water, and I'm just glad I did that when i was younger and had the ignorance to think "why not?" lots of good diving up there by the way, but its more of a "when in Rome" thing. though look up "gods pocket" down near Vancouver Island (BC canada) if you want motivation to get into dry suit diving. Maui and the big island both have multiple reputable shops/schools (padi, etc), and they go to warm, usually clear-viz sites, where the whole thing is easy and enjoyable. Bring or rent a shorty, but thats all thats needed unless somethign odd is going on with water temps. Big island had some real nice, clear water dive sites with plenty of coral and fish to gape at while they're learning. But i'd consider bringing my own regulators, as its seems like as often as not when i rent gear when traveling it's safe enough, but crappy/worn-out enough to be finicky, and less "smooth" for me and certainly for a learner. like skiing, crappy gear can make it a worse experience for the learner. For most of the gear who cares, but a mask that fits and you like, and a good regulator setup is stuff you can keep pretty much forever, easily fits in luggage, and you can assure its dialed in before you go.

There’s a mishmash of searching for a solution and all slightly improve but not 100% cure These issues appear to have been resolved in the European spec bikes - it’s a done and dusted issue in the Italian Anima Guzzista discussions Did Daveguzzi1 get his resolved?

The social trends you speak of seem to be driven by a lot of US philanthropy dollars! This report is revealing https://togetherdeclaration.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CleanAirDirtyMoneyFilthyPolitics_pub_2.pdf

That’s a massive increase - 25% ! Was sales way down last year or have a large proportion of farmers come into money and decided to splurge on a bike instead of a JD?

That’s a bold statement - longevity for sure but they aren’t that good Raw Rock n Roll as it should be? Not many would argue against AC/DC

They are the world's greatest Rock n Roll band.

Plenty of guitars, plenty of performers. I usually go each year, this time I will go with my V11 for a change. It is more something for those of us living in Texas. https://www.guitarshow.com/

just to be clear, my original post is not about LEDs, I just have the stock lights and turn signal indicator.

I liked the Rolling Stones until the 70's, they were never high on my list. Maybe I was too young to like them Same for the Beatles. However, I liked The Who, Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin and of course, Jimi Hendrix. Mick's gesticulations never did anything much. I love Keith's riffs though! he really was a genius to find those licks and hooks. Did not fancy U2 either, but Simple Minds, Simply Red, yes!

That's what is expected if you use an LED, as it's a diode the warning light will only illuminate in one direction only, in the other the LED blocks the current. It's a bit of a faff to put the other diodes in place to get an LED to work. @Kiwi_Roy did publish a diagram somewhere on here to show the mod, but you need to get into the dash and if you're not fussed then by far the easiest solution is just to go back to a bulb

The Adventure bikes are the bestsellers across all manufacturers. For Moto Guzzi it is the V85TT so far. I don't know how well the V100 Stelvio is perceived. I hope I am wrong, but the Le Mans would be relegated to a very niche corner of the market. At present, the mid-sized models such as the new Triumph 400 series are very popular, and more affordable.

I installed the Lucky Phil extender on my V11 yesterday and the shifting feels quite supurb. I do still now and then feel a little resistance in the upshift from 2nd to 3rd. Not often, only like once or twice on a ride. So, sometime this riding season will re-work the shift selector as described and install my recently acquired 'super spring.'

I am having the same but opposite issue. My indicator light on the dash flashes when the signalling left, but not when I signal right. I did replace the bulb with LED. So I think it will be much easier to just switch it back to incandescent instead of performing the electrical surgery needed to have the LEDs work properly.
