  1. There is always a risk in buying parts unseen. Given the successful track record of this particular part I'd say the risk is low. But then again the risk of oil starvation is also low but not that low...
  2. It's ok to have an open and adult conversation with questions and concerns. Aside from myself I assume everyone here is an adult. Given that @DucatiGuzziIndian is working with the same file as @Pressureangle there should be zero concern about fit (barring some catastrophic manufacturing error, like inches for metric) and assuming the basic QA is done (best case is fitting one of the new production items up to a bike). And yes, it's should always be acknowledged that people are investing THEIR time and money to provide a service to the community. Unlike me who just instigates things like this. :-) And lastly, anytime to use the term "Rusty Star Picket" in a sentence is a win in my book!
  3. Fit and quality isn't a big concern. I'm also not that worried about them running off with everyone's $100 bill, even if they are new around here.
  4. I was just putting in a placeholder for a friend. I'll let him reserve for himself. But it's a definite yes.
  5. I hate to say it but I'm a little burned out on the show. But I've also gone to everyone of them (except the first) and even had a bike in the show once. That being said it's definitely worth going to once. Or twice. @Joe I hope you subscribed to that channel. Some awesome content there. Aside from the fact that I'm in several of the videos.
  6. People don't really fathom how much snow there can be at the higher elevations. Mountain snow is typically measured in feet, not inches.
  7. To be fair it looks like it's gone some miles already. On borrowed time no doubt.
  8. Well, from the last show I went to these were some of the bikes sporting the Avon Roadriders. So, yes, they aren't the highest performance tires but for a lot of bikes they don't need to be.
  9. I lot of noise in the classic bike world about the loss of Avon. This is great news, especially if we can still get the Roadrider 2.
  10. I don't even know what I'm looking at. Is there a link with more details?
  11. Roof rack from Hooke. Rooftop tent from Inspired Overland. Went to Silverton to get up to Cinnamon Pass. Couldn’t take the full Alpine Loop as Engineer Pass was still closed. Cinnamon had just been opened a week or so before we got there. You can see how deep the snow was here. To the top of the tent is 7.5ft I want to go to Ouray but next time.
  12. It was flawless. Went anywhere I wanted. I also waited almost 3 years to get it but it was worth the wait.
  13. If you can't tell by some pictures with no captions... yes it was an awesome trip.
  14. A couple pics from my recent roadtrip across the country. Even had dinner with some Guzzi guy... It was the entire month of June and I covered 9k miles.
  15. Gonna need to wait until I get home.
  16. 43rd Annual Show, and always dear in my heart as it was the first time I saw a Greenie in person and I haven't been so insufferable since. Much to the consternation of the president of the club I park my bike on the field but don't register it so it can get voted on. I just do it because I can keep an eye on it. Pit stop on the way home. Also because the green looks fabulous in the sun.
  17. @Pressureangle What's the tipping point for another run?
  18. I should have put in a disclaimer about my questionable math skills. It's comes from telling my wife how many bikes I have vs. how many I may have...
  19. Four years but zero marketing? Just the crazies here on the forum. Not bad I think. But then again I didn't have to look at a stack of them for all that time.
