I think the T-800 only communicates via Bluetooth to its Application via your media. It is more modern than connecting through a USB port via a cable. I know that Triumph advertises that you can get your guidance app to display on the dashboard. Like all the modern cars do in the USA. But transmitting in the opposite direction, I am not certain it works. I know that some Ev can transmit information over Wifi to inform you that your charge has completed. But not via Bluetooth. As for downloading the existing map before you upload a different one, is is compulsory. They would not sell anything if it was not working this way. You need to have the possibility to return to the initial map if needed.

This morning, going to Brenham on the 290 (car), I was on the right hand lane of a dual carriageway, or a two lanes highway in the US. The posted speed at this point is 65 mph, with everyone going minimum 70 or more. Including 18 wheelers. There was a truck in front of me that was going about 50, and then I discovered the reason why it was going so slow..... This was a young lady from Hungary on some kind of Honda model which I don't have seen before... but most likely with a small mono-cylinder engine 125cc. Although she was keeping to the right as much as she could, no lane splitting is about the most respected motorists rule here. She was slowing down everybody on a very busy truck way, possibly unaware of it too. Sometimes going too slow is as dangerous as too fast....

Surprisingly when nobody was really expecting them to perform. But if you look at Jorge Martin's time sheet, you will see that he is the one with the regular fast pace. The KTM's got the fast one lap down. Maverick Viñales is also doing well, but with him, it is always the lottery. I am going to watch the race later on tonight, I am wondering if Francesco Bagnaia will manage to get to Q2. On an other subject, it seems like Miguel Oliveira is penciled to move to replace Marc Marquez, providing Aprila's boss gives his authorization. Honda is able to propose a significant salary increase and a three years contract. In any case, Fabio di Giannantonio is still on the market, so Aprilia could easily let Miguel go, and sign Fabio to replace him. Unless of course, Fabio Quartararo decides to go Aprilia RNF?

I had discounted the torque influence on the clock's movement since it is powered. These clocks are used by Harley Davidson riders without a problem said Marlin. I would think HD bikes have massive bodies too? but the engine's vibration are not in the same axis.

Final verdict: The Marlin instruments stay on the Guzzi. They don't fall off. Unfortunately, this is the only good news. The clock mechanism is sensitive to the way the Guzzi engine vibrate, meaning that when you travel you slow down the time... The Temperature gauge is not readable during the ride, but seems to go back to a realistic value when the engine is not running. So nothing wrong with the Marlin's instruments. It is just they are not suitable for a V11. I wanted to have analogical gauges, not the ugly digital displays. But Marlin's is not the solution.

Just to mess up this Marquez=>MotoGP=>WSBK thread... Andrea Iannone will race for the Ducati team GoEleven in 2024. This is also something which will be interesting to follow, given all the musical chairs that happened: Toprak Razgatlioglu to BMW Jonathan Rea to Yamaha Bautista and Iannone on Ducati

What you say makes a lot of sense. Now Marc Marquez is driven by ambition and some kind of internal burning fire. Bailing out of his Honda contract, paying multi millions is just another proof. The only other example of a racer exiting a factory contract is Zarco with KTM. He confirmed that he will be riding a 2023 Ducati in 2024; now will Ducati ultimately throw some bones in his direction? Having Marc Marquez racing for your brand is good for marketing. Even on a one year old bike, it is still a Ducati. Personally, I think Marc Marquez will be competitive right from the start. I base my opinion on his desire to equal Rossi, not only for the number of world titles won, but also winning on two different machines. We shall find out when the do the testing after the last Grand-Prix in Valencia. Honda has allowed him to test the Ducati ahead of the end of his contract.

That is what I heard too. So "QED": quod erat demonstrandum

@GuzziMoto From what I understood, Ducati has even perfected the hole shot device, this is why Binder got matched lately. They have added something which Pecco Bagnaia touched upon in an interview without saying what it was. This new device is present on all the factory spec'ed bikes, minus Zarco's.

I have recognized you Jorge Lorenzo!!!

Well, this one is a real sore... note that for some reason, doping always existed at the Tour de France. Starting with Tom Simpson. Even today, I don't know if they are as clean as they say they are.

Do they have any kind of startup devices like in MotoGP? you know the ones that adjust the height of bike? initially only the rear, but now they have front and rear too.

If I was Jake, I would really be annoyed at my team. Since he would be the one paying for the consequences of someone else's decisions. Unacceptable. What would his team tell him if he gets banned to race for several races because of this? not smart... I am hoping the illegal fuel was a single time mistake.

Prepare yourself to be annoyed next year.... Jorge Lorenzo said that MM93 will most likely be a tittle contender in 2024. Marc Marquez needs another title badly since his best enemy has one more than he does. The initial plan was to at least do one better than VR46, and this is probably the reason why he did not want Valentino to get another, prompting that saga. But I think that Marc has matured and understood that he messed up. Some say he was punished for what he did. In any case, 2024 will be interesting if only for that.

Their interface do more than just read and write the ECU, which is basically only writing to an EEPROM. Nothing really complicated. I would not think they pinched anything from Beard because Guareschi is a well known outfit, such as Bimota was. What I really like is that their interface is Bluetooth.

UpMap is a way to customize your ECU. It is not really for us, older Moto Guzzi owners, but a saw that more than a few have other motorcycles, including Ducati. Guareschi proposes tailor made maps to suit your bike, and exhaust systems. https://store.up-map.it/en/3-maps I have sent them a request to find out if they were going to make the T-800 interface compatible with the V11 ECUs. Just for your information. At this time, it is not an alternative to Guzzi Diag for our V11.

this Î To be frank, I have a hard time accepting his team would do anything like this without telling him. Because at the end of the day, he is the front of the outfit and could be banned. Moto America should sample the fuel of the podium bikes.

Some pilots always seem to be very good at starting off the grid while others are not. Now Jake is more than often in the top three start positions, and that helps too.

We were told by the site's administrator there is more latitude for deviations under this rubric "banter and what not". So Marquez is just as good as anything else to discuss MotoGP and your cookie recipe that you have been hiding from us for a long time...

I was actually wondering what that photo of fluids had to do with the bike. Now I understand. With probably one exception, all the Quota I checked were in the 3000 USD price range. He is well "in the money". Although it is usually more difficult to sell a bike outside of the riding season, but here in Houston, we are in the 70's and it is actually quite nice to ride in these temperatures. My only reserve is the add-on windshield which does not do much for the esthetics. Even if it was removed, it would leave traces as you can clearly see he had to drill the dashboard and fairing to get it fitted. When he states: -"with parts and service available at local dealers"; I suppose he is referring to his neighboring zone. From what I understood of Craig's list, they recommend to only deal locally.

The Boise one was actually adequate, the deal breaker were the lever bowl ends that were cut off. The brake lever was no biggie, but the clutch one was also including the "choke", so a bit more of an issue to source. The fueling had been corrected with a new map. But yes, "Black" is really not my favorite tint for a motorcycle. As for prices, for having missed on several Quota this year, I would say that motorcycles priced around 3k seem to be moving quickly; or at least, this statement verifies in Texas where the two I found one red, one black sold almost immediately. At this point, I am still very partial to the one owner 2016 Stelvio in Illinois. It has the burnt orange color that is acceptable, and they have reduced the price from 8500 to 8000. It is a single owner bike, and I would think they are going to dump the price at least another 500 soon.

I purchased a welder's mask spare lens, and taped it to a piece of flat cardboard; unfortunately, the filtering changes the color, so I could not take pics through it. I thought about the effect it had back in the middle ages... yes, it would have been easy to scare people with the last judgement day!

Indeed! all the shadows were distorted in very strange ways because of the moon... this was the first time I became aware of that.
