    Best looking one so far!   Nice work @p6x  :thumbsup:

    I’d still be interested in seeing it with the eagle in different configurations but I understand it’s not a simple “grab & move” . . . But if you’re up for it...

    50 units for a first run sounds like a good number, I’ll definitely support that effort and take a couple.  :bier:

    PS: I’d love to have a keyring with that design. . .

    I am wondering if Moto Guzzi should not resurrect another Quota project?

    Moto Guzzi already has the V85TT in their current line up - owners satisfaction is running high and I understand it’s doing really well sales wise, so much so that they revamped the upcoming 2024 models - and with the V100 Stelvio coming up, that makes two ADV bikes from the Mandello Del Lario manufacturer. 

    And under the Piaggio group, Aprilia has the Tuareg 660. . . I don’t think we’re gonna see a new Quota anytime soon.

    Seems as though the material MUST be 2 mm stainless then..... oh boy..

    Back to everyone in a few days after I talk to the waterjet guys.

    Wasn’t that the plan all along?

    Not to add fuel to the fire, but here is another pointed report on how Tesla unleashed its half baked (BETA) self driving system to the public and the dire consequences of its misuse by unsuspecting drivers. 

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/tesla-autopilot-crash-analysis/?itid=lk_interstitial_manual_15

    We are all road users, you can make what you want of these reports, I personally find them to be compelling and an eye opener on how an automaker with an unregulated emerging technology, gets free to run what is essentially still an experiment on public roads.

    This guy, Matteo Mancuso introduced a new left hand technique; he has been noticed by those guitar players which have notoriety, such as Steve Vai.

    In this song, played the Van Halen way, he demonstrates how he uses his left hand fingers to achieve his peculiar style. The tapping is not part of it. . . .

    Very interesting!

    You surely meant his right hand (or plucking hand)...!? :blink:

    seems like it is not all that easy to find the right kit.

    There is a Brembo part # (110436292) and a MG part # (GU28659378) . . .  it shouldn't be too hard.

    docc was quicker (again...) but I'll leave the post as I wrote it.

    For the sake of clarity and to alleviate confusion for current and future readers looking for references, maybe we could all try to refrain from posting multiple unproven links to replacement parts. :2c:

    BETA ==> Better

    For some, no need to go beyond that, read, understand and absorb the fine print . . . 

    Human nature, I believe there is no more mishandling of the smart EV technology than there is of the old analog one.

    When it comes to any vehicle, even if most people are aware of the fact, nowhere does it ever says your vehicle can be turned into a weapon and destroy life.

    Problem with that theory is the 99-2000 parts manual shows no clamp and the 02-2007 shown has a clamp thats never been fitted as far as I can see. So it's not an outdated carry over from a previous manual.

    Not a "theory"  per se Phil, only a supposition... ;)

    Admittedly, I didn't scour all the different versions of the parts catalog for the 1100 big block engine.
