[My Carbon Fiber Tank and Tail arrived today!]

$$$ ???

[MFW Lowering foot pegs]

An example -

[Over run warning light.]

There's an acceleration based aux brake light flasher that does just that.  Can't remember the name right now.

[Lucky Phil extender mod]

Arrived in Arizona.  Lovely !!

[Brake bleeding using "Speed Bleeder "]

BTW, I prefer vacuum bleeders over power bleeders. A vacuum will expand any trapped air bubbles, making them more likely to come out.  Pressure will compress the bubbles, making them more likely to trap in corners.

[Brake bleeding using "Speed Bleeder "]

For the power bleeder, just buy extra caps for the bike.  Drill a hole, install a hose.

[V11 Tenni]

I'm confused about something - Is the starter ring on the tranny side of the clutch?  If so, does that mean that if I pull the clutch, the starter won't turn the engine?  Haven't tried it.

[Corona / Covid19]

Was working from home, but came to the office today because I really needed to drop a load and the office has toilet paper. 

 

 

Not really . . .

 

[Best Tyre for the Stelvio?]

Tried Heidenau K60's, didn't like them.  Very slippery in the wet, even though it doesn't happen often here.  Haven't tried the Mitas, but they do look good.  BTW, TKC70 and TKC80 are totally different tires.  70 for more street, 80 is a knobby.  Were that my Stelvio, I'd go with TKC70's.

I have to agree with Pete after riding one.  

Take it out on a rocky dual track in Arizona and you will understand.  It's a commendable effort, but it isn't better than my current 2010 F800GS.

[CO setting]

Got it.  Kinda surprised the values are still changing above around 25C.

[HB bags wanted]

AFAIK, it's still all available new.  I ordered a set from Moto Machines in 2017.  They worked well, but I didn't like the look on the Scura and sold them.

[CO setting]

cold start at ~65°C

??????   150°F ?

[Replacing Front wheel bearings.]

Always like Kukko pullers and tools.  Expensive but I haven't found a bearing it couldn't pull yet.

[How many Ghezzi Brian Folgore were imported to USA?]

How much $$$ ?

The bike and suspension and the tires are all designed these days for a rider between 125 to 145 lbs.

Hmm.  Does this mean that I actually need to be riding 2 bikes at the same time ?

Which GB kit is that?

Nice looking kit, but I still like the lines of the stock V11 better.

 

[Keeping the Clutch Disengaged / Bike in 1st at a Stoplight]

Heard tires squealing behind me in a line of traffic at a light.  Was in gear, made a quick move towards the curb and watched the car behind me smash into the one in front of me.   I usually sit in gear unless it's a really long light.

 

[Keeping the Clutch Disengaged / Bike in 1st at a Stoplight]

Unless you're a Scura rider.

[Coppa Italia Registry]

4 cilindros ??  OK maybe 4 jugs, when she's on board.

[Turkey Sunday Ride on the west side to Gila Bend via. Buckeye Az.]

Friday or Sunday ?

Fall ride in the Jemez.

I love NM-4 across the Valles Caldera.  Yummy.

[Best Guzzi Service Shop in the Los Angeles/Orange County Area?]

Always leery of the "messy shop" guys.

[(Reasonably available) bikes you’d like to own!]

There's a Moto Morini 3 1/2 on RSBFS right now.

 Kind of funny that AZ would require them and not CA.

That's what AZ riders were saying for many years.  I have many memories of watching custom Harley riders leaning out their carbs within an inch of running, then getting pissed off when they failed the NOx test due to the lean running.
