So.. if for instance, the Midwest Antique Airplane fly in in Wisconsin gets weathered out, and a guy (hypothetically) jumped on his Scura and cannonballed down.. would there be a place to stay at the last minute?

Welcome Gavin.. Uhh, she'll be worth it.. She's a little different, but you'll learn her ways..

If it's only the left cylinder, I'd look where I've been. Spark plug cap firmly screwed on the lead? Maybe the lead loose at the coil. Cap tight on the plug? Left throttle body firmly attached? Simple stuff first..

Beechcraft found out about this with the Starship and bought them all back, as far as I know. They didn't do well with lightning strikes..

Docc.. we're all lucky to be able to play with our motorcycles of choice.

I had a Centauro bought over the phone from a Chicago dealer. When I arrived, he said, "sorry, just got my new blue book, and it's $1600 more. I never said a word. Just turned on my heels and walked, even though he was calling my name.. I don't play those kinds of games.

Uhh, it's really common for any bike to shake it's head a little when doing that.. especially if the front tire is worn or the steering head bearings are too loose.

You could have a fine LeMans with 80 horsepower.. Just keep the weight down.

Where's my corncob pipe??

Ohh Ohh, I'll play. My almost new G5. Only a couple of thousand miles to go.. 2018-07-02_08-25-33 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

Hey Docc.. the Kid and I used that map on our Carolina's Spine raid last year. Worked very well.. Here, the Mayor of BBQ is giving Brad some tips and a free beer for riding in on a Guzzi. 2017-06-04_01-38-12 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr Sweeten Creek brewery. I'd recommend it..

BTDT with the Mighty Scura. I'm going up to Wisconsin this weekend. Maybe I can help cloud the issue. Czakky sent me some maps.

Thanks, Marty..

Stock mufflers, K&N filter. I would think about any map would do.. it's for a friend's bike that is running poorly. Thanks for that! I'm pretty sure he's aware of that. He thinks there may be something corrupted..

The Kid called me last night, and asked where he could get a map for a silver red frame. Stock mufflers, K&N filter. He said for whatever reason he couldn't change the CO with GuzziDiag, and it is running lean. I looked at the map share area and only found the Titanium map. Am I missing something? I sent him Meinhof's instructions for setting the trim. TIA

I have some friends that were coming back from the west coast through the prairie. She is a sweet thing, and wouldn't say sh!t, etc. They normally camp, but in the evening of one of "those" days, she slammed her kickstand down and said, "Get me an effin motel. I'm not riding another mile.." We've all had those days.. Motorcycle trips are memorable. Some good and some bad. Just the same, if you don't remember that day, was it worth living?

Good un, Docc..

Actually, this *sounds* like a fly and ride candidate. You never know, of course..

I put one on the Jack-All rig, and truly couldn't tell the difference. It was $42 from the local Harley dealer at the time. IMG_5475 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

It would be an adventure for sure.. and just how many adventures are available in this modern world? What could possibly go wrong? Meh.. go for it. I would.

I hope I'm still flying at 82.. good for him.

I've gone farther.. A bike hauler is cheaper, though..

Good plan.. Congrats. I've said many times the cheapest bike you can buy is the most expensive. I assume we'll be seeing it at the Iowa and Wisconsin rallys?

No truer words were ever spoken.

There is such a small market for Guzzi related things, most manufacturers won't even look at it.
