  1. It's winter time here in the Northeast US and I have been contimplating a teardown and see for myself if my hand grenade flywheel is failing or not, and now this recient flurry in this thread. Yikes! :wacko:

     

    OK, I sent an e-mail to MG in the hopes that something might be done for the Scura and other aflicted models out there.

     

    I have enclosed the text of my message for you to see. Maybe, just maybe if enough polite and respectful imput is generated that MG will finally put this thing to rest! I encourage others to do the same.

     

    Here it is.

    "My guess is that your probably aware of this situation which is premature failure of the flywheels on Sucras.

     

    There are several examples of this happening through out the USA and in Europe. I am a member of the V11Lemans.com forum and there is much written about this happening and the extreme safety hazzard that can happen as a result of failure at speed.

     

    This is not a question of switches or relays failing but of damage to associated engine components resulting in MAJOR repairs.

     

    Should the rider be able to come to a stop safely when failure occures he will be considered "lucky" to be facing a major repair bill and not major injuries.

     

    This issue really should be addressed by Moto Guzzi as there is enough information out there to determine that the affected motorcycles were manufactured with flywheels that were either poorly designed or poorly manufactured and the burden should not be placed on the consumer.

     

    You know how loyal your customed base is but as a owner of one of the affected vehicles and knowing that it is probably not if but when the failure occures does not instill confidence in an otherwise spectacular motorcycle that I never want to part with. Moto Guzzi should step up to the plate here and correct this problem.

     

    I have enclosed a link to our web sight so you can see for yourself.

    Thank you for your attention.

  2. I've changed mine a couple of times now.

     

    I've chosen this one for now as this cartoon put some humor to probably the most outragous moment in the 2006 Moto GP season.

  3. Great trip Greg!

     

    Brings back memories of a men's group I was a part of several years back.

     

    One of the members had one about the same size in his back yard which we used guite often in the winter time.

     

    Makes a great space. As one of the hunters in the group we often spoke of how great it would be to hunt out of one.

     

    Really sheds the weather, real toasty with a fire.

     

    Being from the northeast I can only dream of an elk hunt like that!!! :bier:

  4. Looks great to me!

     

    Evoloution comes slowly, first the Breva series then the Norge. These models will bring new riders into the MG fold along with $$$$$ for Piagio. This means more technology will come to the sport bikes we love most.

     

    As I see it, this new 1200 Sport is just the next step, it looks fresh and modern while retaining the MG look and character.

     

    Good for them and us.

     

    As to when or if we will see a 4 valve Sport who knows. Give it a little time and we might actually see a street MGS01 :food: but remember that the Brevas and the Norges will be the money makers for the company, MGS01 sales will not be a very significant source of profit just icing on the cake.

     

    Piagio, are you listening?

  5. Just found out that HJC makes a electric anti fog device that has been popular with snowmobilers and they are available for cycle helmets as well.

     

    Street price is about $80.00 US If anyone is interested I can research it further as the place I work for now is a HJC dealer.

  6. Was looking for the video clip that was put up here some time ago and can't find it.

     

    It was the one with the Nickleback song "Animals" on it with all the moto GP clips.

     

    Can anyone provide the link>

     

    I've got to download it so I can get a fix every now and then while waiting till next season!

     

    It's going to be a long winter. :bbblll:

  7. Maybe

     

    Just maybe

     

    We could get those guys from Her Magistry's Secret Service to fab up a special oil spray device like James Bond had on his Aston Martin.

     

    Dan's mission would to get in front of Rossi then press some little button.........zip :wacko: ....... all sins forgiven.

     

    PEDROSA, DAN PEDROSA.......Lisence to kill Kill championships that is! :grin:
