  2. I would love to see FQ at Aprilia. While Mav has great races occasionally, they need someone who can compete for a championship. That said, it was a great pair of races for Mav, a real shame the bike failed him in the second race. Seems the trans was having issues most of the race, and finally packed it in at the end. As to Marc and Pecco, to me the deciding question is what would Marc have done if Pecco slide it up the inside into that turn and then ran wide. I am pretty sure Marc would have re-passed him up the inside the moment Pecco slide wide. That is what Marc would have done, that is what any racer out there would have done. The same basic pass / re-pass happened between other racers in that very race. It was to be expected, unless you can close that door before the other guy can slide it through the door, you have to have expected that. For Marc to pull back down onto the racing line when someone else was already there and fully alongside him was what caused the accident. That said, I would call it a racing incident. But Ducati had to know that putting Marc on a Ducati was going to mean more Ducati's would fail to finish. It was to be expected. Marc has never shown respect for other racers. He isn't going to start now. I suspect that was part of what Ducati was worried about and why they did not seem keen on Marc joining the Ducati fold.

  3. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this thinking. Simply include coffee as @audiomick suggests!

  4. I know someone has done it. @Moto maybe? I was thinking of doing the same because of all the bling and trickery on modern RBW machines the only one other than ABS that I would really like would be cruise. I simply haven't worked up the enthusiasm to do it yet though and since I've been riding Grisos since 2006 I tend to think the likelihood of me ever getting enthusiastic enough is probably pretty slight!

  5. I’m very seriously thinking of adding an electronic cruise control to my GRiSO. After this recent run down to Florida, to catch a couple races and see an old friend, my right hand was sore for a week. It’s been done before, I just dislike cutting into the factory harness to make the relevant connections. The aviation explanation is it. Minimize the mental task load. Autopilot lite, as it were.

Most Moto Guzzi dealers or Guzzi suppliers have superseded the original brake pads with substitutes of various manufacturers and compounds from GF to SHH. Rotor damage can be an issue. These are the original FF compound "black backing" pads matched to our rotors from Brembo .

  7. Hey Mike, do you mind putting up links to the end weights and mirrors you ended up going with? I am also in the market for a similar set up.

  9. My rejuvenated Tachometer and Speedometer are coming back from Germany this week. Once it is back together, I will be using it to do the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas stops.

  10. He is too. I watched a debrief of the GP on YouTube, and according to the French journalist, Fabio Quartararo is set to leave Yamaha. The obvious target is Aprilia. I don't think any of the other factory teams have a need for his services, they are ripe with their own bred talent. Would he accept to go to a private team, such as Tech3 GasGas is given the opportunity? I don't think there is any doubt that Pedro Acosta will integrate the factory team in 2025, there is also the possibility of an Augusto Fernandez exit. The situation is complicated for Fabio, with not many options. Personally, I think he should stick with Yamaha hoping for better days. But he does not want to wait.

  11. FINALLY! An exciting race to watch again...that was entertaining. Let's hope Acosta doesn't burn up too fast in his exhuberance and is around for sometime to come. I'm dismayed at how poorly former super star Quartararo is doing these days. Great to see Marc contending again, and the track...a BEAUTY! Time to watch some replays and post race interviews in a few hours!

  13. I don't think it was properly adjusted. Throttle seems fine now. It worked before I removed the idle lever thing when I put new grips on last year.

  14. Nice! you know your references.. There used to be so-called "gentlemen robbers", who did it in style without any harm to anyone. Those days seem to be long gone. When I look around, I can't help but think that our society has lost a lot of the values we got hammered with at school. I remember that we had "Civic tuition", and were taught how to be courteous with everybody else. I get the feeling there should be more people learning about the healing and peace you get from riding a V11... Lots of unhappy people around!

  16. That red LeMans was mine for a while. It has a lovely set of four Speedhut gauges (tach, speedo, oil, volt) and extensive powdercoating. There are a few threads here about that bike for anyone who wants to investigate. Looks like it got a set of bar risers since I owned it.

  19. Congrats on the red Quota, I love mine, had it for several years, really enjoy it for blue hwy rides, I have not done a lot of interstate riding on it, so I kid my friend I do trips with about actually making it to 5th gear. I have done mostly TN, VA, West VA and Ohio. Let me know what you think of the Dunlops, I have been considering those for my next set.
