It's been 5 years since my Corso passed away. I miss having a dog. I picked her up a couple weeks ago, she's a 2 month old "Blue" Cane Corso. My God, I got a refresher course on what Hell Raiser's little puppy's can be :/

What is daunting to one just may be recreation to another.. Carry on, Kindoy.. I'll get my popcorn, too.

Those Dowty washers are great, especially on fittings with pressure behind them. For drain plugs they are a bit of overkill in my opinion. Use of aluminum or copper sealing washers is perfectly fine if you remember they are really only meant to be used once. When you tighten the plug the soft metal conforms to the surfaces of the plug and its seat forming a good seal. The downside to the compression of the washer is the metal work hardens and if reused it requires more torque to make the seal and this will often lead to distortion and weakening of the threads causing them to strip eventually. Aluminum washers are considered to be one use items but copper can be reused if annealed to soften it so it conforms again as long as it hasn't been deformed too much by the previous use.

Pretty recently, @Cabernet started a thread about using the BeeLine for navigation. He made numerous great observations about motorcycle navigation, devices, and techniques. Lately, my riding buddies have been suggesting I update my maps. Shoot, they're only a year older than the bike I bought new!

That's what I meant.🤣 I actually bought a set and haven't installed them yet. Custom faces but are black.

I gave Kurvgiver half an hour of my life that I'll never get back. I can almost get 90% of my intended route on Beeline in about an thirty minutes time that should take two minutes. 100% is out of the question. All I can say, build the route a step at a time, don't try to identify the final destination and then hope to alter the route to intended preferences.

It's a crack that runs vertically near the hold down bolt. It appears to go thru the tank. You can barely see it on the video. Mike

I elected to replace internal filter on my '03 Lemans because tank gasket failed. Although the internal lines looked fine, I figured I didn't want to ever go in there again (unless pump failed) so, I replaced the 17 year old lines with the Euro Moto item specified in prior post. Good luck!

I've been buying my crush washers from McMaster-Carr for most of my stuff (bikes & cars).

Hey, thanks! They are Speedhut. I had a great time getting the faces custom made and doing the installation. I just could not bring myself to buy a fourth Veglia speedometer . . .

Aren't those clocks Motogadgets? Regardless.. Nice clocks....

You are a brave man .............. To do it all correctly is truly daunting. Ciao

I went down some "pop music" rabbit hole this evening and watched a bunch of early MTV-type videos. So overproduced, lip-synched, and with no actual musicians onscreen. Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" is one of my favorites in that genre. Yet, I ran across this awesome Sade production! Love the Film Noir narrated gangster theme with the muted horn intro (" . . . at ten past nine, the dame with the ponytail . . ."), the trains, the sirens, then the actual stage production that ensues. Have always loved this woman's smooth vocals. Plus, there is a bass solo!

Flip the aluminum washer over next time and use a thin coat of wheel bearing grease on both sides. Never had a leak.

I have a half dozen of these atlases of my surrounding states where I've done 95% of my riding. When I was navigating from the tankbag window, I would photocopy the needed sections in black&white and use color to highlight the route, turns, and distance between. For the roughly 40 mile radius around my house, I would tear out that page for the tankbag window. I have also made "route books;" a technique I learned from a UH-1 MediVac pilot I knew. These feature a detail map of the tricky or key turns with some distance indicators with a "distinctive" picture adjacent. (That pilot was known for his flight plan books using, er, attractive models in scant attire/ if any). I've done 200-250 mile routes that I largely memorize and have maybe six tricky junctions in the route book. The adjacent image helps me memorize the turn and keep it distinct from the others. Drawback is having to reposition the route book in the window after each noted turn. DeLorme has a long history with electronic navigation and was acquired by Garmin a few years ago. They still produce the atlases that overlay the roads onto the topography. They are still part of my electronic route building by offering a big-picture perspective of road selection through (and over) desirable terrain and along water courses while avoiding cities, towns and awkward intersections

I use Docc.

We always had rottweiler's, the reason for side car. Now the son is taking over. Rossi has been, let's say a handful, 13month and 53kg. 3 dead dogs in front of God waiting for entrance. God asking the german sheperd, what have been your goals? disiplin, training and loyal to the master. Ok, on my right side. God asking the puddel, your goals? Love, care from my master and piece in the world. Ok, on my left side. God looking at the Rottweiler asking the same question. Rottweiler saying,,, your standing in my place. Cheers tom.

I wouldn't bother with the internal lines personally but if you do here's a link for replacements. Does Guzzis as well. https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/fp-hosekit.htm Ciao

Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone have a link to the production numbers? Here is my 2003–just got the stock exhaust headers polished!
