Three weeks out - warding off the Waddington Effect while seeing to necessary matters . . . --> Decent Tune-up --> Motor oil/ gearbox oil/ neutral switch & shift linkage adjustments --> Fresh Pirelli tires/ brake inspection/ another new rear wheel bearing (again!) --> GPS routes laid in. Looking to roll some "ten flight hours " before embarking on this XXI SSR .

HMB-moto also bought a good amount of that stock, as well?

Before you buy it or before you ride it?

I appreciate the complimentary verisimilitude! While the 12mm master cylinder rebuild kit (V11 clutch) appears to remain available, I am still dismayed that no one can find the 16mm "seal kit" for the front brake.

You will be missed! Yet, even more anticipation to enjoy your V11 Sport at SSR XXII . . .

Yesterday, I mounted an "Antique" license plate to mySport. I'm kinda proud of it. And dismayed at the same time.

What about that continuation, @Ali Fra ?

+1 !

A couple examples of the Tenni number plate (from our Tenni Registry):

Seems you managed go off to see both wizards!

Four weeks out and the innkeeper, Ken, tells me there is one remaining room, 103 . . .

Thanks, again, Bill for taking us along for the ride and reverie! A always, I have a couple favorites . . .

Might as well add it to the recently curated Pressureangle Collection (Three is a collection, two is just a coincidence. )

Another note on registering a bike with the AMA: Apparently they require the VIN to verify that the vehicle is a motorcycle since they charge a membership upgrade (double the dues) to cover passenger vehicles now. The system could not verify the Moto Guzzi VIN. Contacting a nice lady via email, she added it but the ID card only produced for the Honda. Notifying her, she said she could see that and would look into it. Haven't heard back, yet (just a few days, but must stay on the "to-do" list . . .) In the meantime, I made sure I have Hagerty Drivers Club cards on the bikes (100 tow, versus the AMA 35 miles). On the phone with Hagerty, they could not verify the payment method for my automatic renewal. Apparently, they too are making some changes and there is some question whether they will continue "stand alone" Drivers Club memberships into 2026 (without an insured vehicle). One take away: just because we had roadside assistance at one time, we should verify the coverage each year before getting a let down at a break down.

All-y'all need to expedite @HRC_V4's progress here. The XXI South'n Spine Raid is just four weeks out . . .

Dunno. I haven't crabbed a Tonti. Although, I would be using some suspension straps/ chain fall for extra security.

I didn't think anything had to come off the front when crabbing . . .

I guess we don't have an actual "registry " for that model Sport, but there is a dedicated thread. [edit/ 11 August 2025: Moved the "carryover" thread to V11 Registries.]

Once all the tuning is performed and the start-up procedure perfected, O am hopeful the issues are addressed. I reckon if we are looking for a member with myECU experience, that would be @Cliff

Heh, "cattle dogs" . . . The "Hagerty " Insurance I linked is not "Harley" (as in Harley-Davidson), but a respected classic and collectible vehicle insurer. I have been a member of the Hagerty Drivers Club for many years and it includes a good roadside assistance coverage (100 mile tow etc). I confirmed today that my motorcycles are covered. They balked at the Honda, but immediately declared the Moto Guzzi "collectible!"

AMA members: Also note that your bikes have to be re-registered at every renewal to remain covered. I am currently looking at alternatives including Hagerty Insurance. https://www.hagerty.com/

Most insurance companies offer some sort of roadside assistance coverage. Years ago, I learned the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) included roadside assistance with their membership (currently #49US per year). They also send a nice magazine with motorcycle stories, history, and news. My first riding buddy, and dear friend Mr. Bruce Heath R.I.P., was a lifelong member as he felt they are a significant ally for motorcyclists' rights in the USA. The roadside assistance benefit was especially compelling as it included all owned motorcycles and all passenger vehicles including those of children away at college. The AMA has come through for me, and my son away at school, several times over the many years of my membership. Recently, I learned that the additional passenger vehicles are only covered under an additional cost plan and the motorcycles must be registered with the AMA to be covered. This change occurred March 2024. So, if you are , or know anyone, who is an AMA member counting on roadside assistance, be certain to contact the AMA and register your bikes! https://americanmotorcyclist.com/
