Not to worry there @audiomick, that was me being sarcastic. I know what I got.

As Nick Bolton says on those campy Tac Glasses commercials, "There's nothing like them on the market today".

I feel insulted...

@audiomick yep, you're right. I watched another video that seemed like it was put out by Guzzi about their new "release". The last three seconds of the vid they come clean and say "sadly, this is CG."

Something's brewing... https://youtu.be/F3mbKfcnJlU?si=l3p9-tWOPY8bMwc8

I have bent up some light gauge aluminum flashing that I place under the gearbox to catch all the oil and direct it to a small plastic jug. The metal piece has a tab on it that keeps it in place so I can drain it hands free. That way I can leave it for an hour or so to let it all drain out. It's a small metal trough that has enough pitch to direct the oil away from the exhaust.

@guzzler My Coppa is tucked away all warm and cozy for the winter. For me, faired bikes are the way to go when temps drop. Never got a chill today. Great gear and that V twin keeps the legs tempered. Even the GT throws off some radiator heat.

Holiday commitments winding down, family gone, sun was shining and it hit 40°. Time to start some engines. An hour on the Stelvio to get the fluids cooking, then a half hour on the GT. I wanted to check out the heated seat and grips...never had a bike with that option. It was real nice, but still not sure about the Beemer staying. I never had an inline 4 before, and always loved the lines of the K1300 GT's. A low mileage one popped up nearby and got it for a great price. Big difference between the two. Still love the Stelvio, but the heat was nice. Big twins are nicer.

Might as well bring it back a bit...

Good on you for posting that! I have done yoga for close to 15 years. It has transformed me. Not many people here will be as flexible as her. It doesn't matter. You do you. It is a bit by bit, little by little change. I'll bet you feel a difference after the first time. Two things...if you lose your mobility, you've lost your life. And the hardest part of any workout is just starting it.

I feel pretty confident mounting my NTX like that. It has a pretty stout sidestand. The damn thing is so high and with bags on I sort of have to.
