Last year, I noted that cranking speed on my '04 V11 was slowing significantly. With a charge, all was fine. However, I noted that the rectifier has a multi-pin connector at the left front down tube on the subframe. Rather exposed to weather. I undid it and cleaned the terminals with contact cleaner on a pipe cleaner, blew it our with air, then applied Caig De-oxIT and snapped it back together. All is well since. Water from rain or washing runs into the connector and corrosion begins. It doesn't take much before resistance rises. Anyway, as easy fix if that happens to be the trouble, and a maintenance item if not.

That's AI Oz.

YouTube member Project Farm tested various hose clamps to the failure point.

I looked at a USED MGS-01 and was shocked at how much they wanted! And no warranrty! (grumble...)

In for 2. As an aside, has anyone found something Guzzi-related to place on that massive expanse of tail piece? I am thinking of a "Motorcycles and Coffee" sticker from Schampa.

"Dude, it's got a HEMI!"

Such pandemic/de-fund the police driving behavior has become a pandemic in itself. About 3 weeks ago near me, an 18 year old in an Audi was blasting down a 35 MPG suburban street at a measured 112 MPH. Sadly a van filled with home school kids was making a legal turn with a green light. The van driver and three children were killed instantly. Two of the van driver's children lived, but now have no mother. The Audi driver was broken up, but survived to go to prison. Licentious behavior carries unseen and tragic costs.

There is a farm co-op in my state. They sell 92 octane E-0.

I must admit that I have not had a pop back since switching to ethanol-free 92 octane. Here is a website which shows many US and Canadian locations for ethanol-fre gas. https://www.pure-gas.org/ Costs more but my fuel tank says it likes it.

A co-worker at Boeing in the 70s had an H2 750. Scariest bike I ever roe. Never heard what became of him...

It's abdomen-philic.

My son uses it in his homemade barbecue sauce. He looks for malty beer and avoids the too-hoppy stuff. I am not a beer drinker, or a drinker at all really, but I found the smoked beer more tolerable than all the others. At least the 2 ounces I drink yearly.

Smoked beer.

Aber nur ob sie eine Aufenthaltsgenehmigung haben!
