I've been doing glucosamine with MSM for over 20 years. I recently went to a knee doc for mild joint pain and he said it was bone on bone and I needed a replacement. Take from that what you will, but I'm a believer.

What Pete said, of course. I rode one out to SoCal several years ago to leave out there and ride in the canyons. It needed rewired, and that was maybe 20 years ago. (!) It's a great traveling machine, and the old Tonti frame was awesome for the day.

The 07 Norge I kept for a while was the best mile eater I've ever ridden. The stock suspension, while *very* comfortable was way too soft, though. It truly wanted to go places at go straight to jail speeds..I was fortunate. As I matured she became a little too top heavy for me and went to a good home. Loved her though..one of the two Guzzis I bought new.

My pup at the time, Austin, did a clutch job on his G5. I saw the hanger door go up and 4pm, and he rode it out at 10 pm. You need "the box." that's about the only special tool.

Weekend project if you're slow.. although I've never done a Quota..

Tractors, eh? -
I took him for a ride in our sidecar rig for ice cream at an Indiana Guzzi rally many years ago. I had no clue who he was, just another bearded Guzzi Guy..

I have a few blanks that didn't make it through the stringent QC lady. They would be perfectly usable, but not perfect. I could most likely find the original file and fixture, but don't want to let the form tool go. I'm using it on an airplane I'm building.

When I took over the care of the G5, it had a fairly new Surflex clutch. After replacing the clutch, flywheel, transmission input gear, it was as good as new. -

Sure, it's possible. You wouldn't want to pay for it, though. -
The Moto Guzzi of locomotives

I wondered if anyone was going to bring up the Shay.. -
ANSWERED Had a breakdown today. Caught on camera. Any thoughts folks?

A bad ground kills them..failing memory says something about reference voltage. -
As nearly as I can cipher, Donnie Two Dolls Barbies will cost $50. Each.

airplane that's noisy and smells bad.

I've used them for..uh..since the 90s. Not always the cheapest, but better than average quality..and they have it.

It's a fairly well known story, but Ryan makes it interesting.
-
Yeah, I've followed Tommy for years. Here's apparently an unrehearsed duet. They play off each other effortlessly...

One of the best flat and finger pickers I've ever heard. Grew up playing bluegrass, but can play and sing anything. Here, he's covering Dylan, the only person I've heard that gives the same feel.. Don't know how to imbed. Well I see it did it automatically.
-
Yeah, they are pretty rough all right. Just a heads up if anyone hasn't noticed that they wear away on the back side. I made up a stainless "shoe" that fit over the Mighty Scura's foot and epoxied it on.

Steering head bearings too tight? Steering damper? IMWTK.
-
Cable. Entirely different (better) clutch than the big block.
-
Maybe a cable of some sort poked in the tubing to clear it?
-
From (failing) memory, if the knob is on the left it is LH thread.. on the right is RH.

I still haven't had my second cup of coffee and definitely haven't looked at the schematic yet, but why isn't it the ignition switch?
