Heard the other day at the local cafe where the ADV riders hang out: Do you prefer 60/40's or 70/30's? Oh man, I much prefer 80/20's!

I think I have the same one Mike in blue that I put on the Goldwing...very convenient. The on/off switch is very good.

I'm also still waiting to see if I won the raffle...I bought 100 tickets, so hoping to have a twin...if I win it, will sell it to you very cheap! I had my Norge out yesterday for a nice 100 miler thru the forest, the bike is running phenomenally after several months of extremely detailed electrical work, fixing some corroded wires, painting some panels and general extreme cleaning with a steam cleaner from head to toe. All of that to say that I'm now getting 50 mpg, which I've never seen before on my usual run, as I'm used to getting 42 all of these years. Good karma I'm guessing!

Eric…I think you would be very happy on a solid Norge for touring! Here’s mine from earlier in the year at Rusk camp ground! Hard to beat for all day comfort, great in the twisties with an upgraded suspension and high speed touring…

Finished up yesterday with a 600 mile round trip for the last 3 stops! Hope your suggestions make it into the tour next year!

Very complete set of torque wrenches! All the way from Umeå to Luleå and everywhere in between. A Greenie, a Coppa and a Nero...someone has an addiction to V11's I would say, what is that, approximately 30% of all of the V11's in Norway?

Congrats Eric...all official now! I should finish this weekend as well.

Fresh brisket on the board!!!! Things you hear in Bucee’s !!!

Nicely done - that's a fantastic achievement to knock it all off in one shot...lots of endurance! I bought a 100 raffle tickets for the Norge also (it's the twin of my Norge)...we'll see if I win! Are you headed back to the Norton rally this weekend also?

One additional benefit we have here at the local Bucee's is 91 Octane Ethanol free gas...coupled that with a fresh brisket taco and a coffee and you're good to go!

Hey Eric...how are you doing on the tour? I'm at 47 stops, P6x at 49 stops. We should be wrapping up in the next couple of weeks to complete all 50 here. Another friend on a Stelvio is going thru Big Bend National Park as we speak picking up stops also.

I see you made it to Bucee's! The Champagne one looks in nice shape...at what price was it being offered?

It seems that there is 1 missing Carabiniero...as they always work in pairs! Great pics as always!

It's like a pair of chopsticks...wood or ivory. Both work, both will last, you won't need this tool on a regular basis forever...maybe once a year at most. Trust me, you will not wear out the green one or break it. If you want to spend money, buy a metal fuel disconnect from Beemer Boneyard that is lovely metal and will allow you avoid having to use this tool at all...you'll just need to cut into the fuel line to add it in parallel...that would be a better spend. There's also no need to relieve the pressure, but be prepared for gas to come out of the tank once the line is disconnected so having a relatively empty fuel tank is a good idea, and having a handy tube that is already inserted into a multi gallon/liter container to catch any overflow to put on the spigot once the fuel line is disconnected is helpful to avoid spilling gas on the garage floor or work area. The green one works perfectly, use it gently, no need to force anything. The orientation of which side goes where will be obvious once you put it on the fuel line and connector. Worst case scenario, you buy a new spigot for Guzzibits.

I have that set and it works perfectly…have used it a half dozen times, good workmanship on the tool, you will not wear it out.
