hello all - i have a 2004 ballabio that has been trouble-free since i purchased it used in 2009. coming up on 22k, it's been sitting a lot recently but performing just fine when i take it out, until yesterday... started fine, pulled away fine and then simply would not get out of 1st gear, either running & moving, standing still or with the engine off. last time i rode it (2 weeks ago?) it shifted without incident and nothing happened in the meantime other than it sitting in the corner of the garage. i rode it, in first, at 20mph, across town to my local garage (eurogeek in flagstaff, az) where the my mechanista also could not find anything obviously wrong; we looked at the owner's manual PDF together and he's planning on opening up the transmission to see what's what, but i thought i'd post here to see if anyone has any guidance that might save us a lot of time. any tips, suggestions, warnings or prayers welcome. thank you.

i have no idea what you are talking about. i will say, tho, that my over the winter mods deserve a longer road-tested review... 1. rich maund seat: major improvement over stock 2. motratech peg lowering kit: very significant to my 6'3" frame and long legs 3. stock peg hangers for my titanium cans: more clearance for my soft bags and frankly, a cleaner line. i truly wonder what the point of the shorter hangers is

got 'em from woody. thanks.

i've got a 2004 ballabio for which i would like to lower the guzzi titanium cans to make more a little more room for my soft bags (which currently sit on the cans) and for a more comfortable leg/foot position for my occasional pillion rider. here's a pic that shows my current configuration: let me know if you have the set in question, either via PM or email me at dwidmark at gmail dot com. thanks
