  1. and your hands at red lights. just don't leave em in one spot too long or you'll cook your gloves.
  2. your break in is going to be a little bumpy, but after your first fluid change and the green light to head up over 5k rpm, she smooths right out. nonone is going to know what your bike is, so be ready for that(well no younger guys anyway ). welcome aboard.
  3. i haven't tried pirellis yet. the metzies seem to be everything i could ask for in the "oh crap" zone. the shop i got them from steered me into them. maybe next batch...
  4. i've done a bit of riding in the wet. we seem to enjoy it. i don't know what it is. on my ninja, if i see sprinkles i'm scrambling for home. but the gootz, i swear she likes it. oh, and get some metzlers
  5. the only problem i've had is the tranny recall. then again at 15k miles my bike is barely broken in. what i can't understand, is how someone can pass on a guzzi for the price. once the bugs are worked out it's a tank. and my sport is very well mannered in most conditions. the one thing i would warn you about is the vibration. the first 5k miles on a new one are hell. the motor really smooths out at 5k+ rpm.

    atom heart mother

    it's crappy out. and i was just listening to it at work. yeah, i thought about that too. what would the bike of choice been in europe back in...what...72?
  7. i've been listening to older tunes again lately and something is bugging me. a bike races off near the begining of atom heart mother, does anybody know what it is? it sounds like a twin. could it be our venerable italian eagle?
  8. what model is that off of? edit: balibino....duh!! wierd, good thing you didn't wipe out due to said stickage.
  9. a beat up old enduro 250. she's gonna drop it anyway. i did.
  10. i don't know much about working on it, but i will comment on the used bikes. seems like any guzzi running at 50k miles has another 100k in it. and it's been totaly shook down. anything that's going to break has broken already. or that's how i look at it. after seeing odos at our little michigan rally, sheesh, i need to move south and get a job 500 miles away to keep up with some of those guys.
  11. why don't i have this much time on my hands?!? i must be doing something wrong
  12. for the whole 50 miles that chase lasts
  13. happy ipod whore reporting. yeah, the 40 gig is like a tiny musical god.

    Got My Cobras Back

    Staintunes

    yeah, check this out. you'll have to select staintune and then guzzi... 'tunes it says there is a collector for the v-11. but doesn't show them on anything but a daytona. i don't get it.

    Staintunes

    i think it was one of the euros that said if you didn't have a power commander you wouldn't get the time of day. or something to that effect. no offence mean't

    Staintunes

    but what about the 2-1-2 collector? yeah yeah, i'm hung up on it. but that's the kicker in the pack i ride in, a "full exhaust" is trick, slip-ons are not. have i heard it's like the dutch with power commanders? and on a non-coolfactor note, do you think a full staintune or quat-d weighs less?
  20. this is what my ninja is for.
  21. man, that cold weather is a b*tch. i took a turn a little too hot one cold day and my front end tried to shovel in the corner. i thought i was going down. think about metzlers on your next set. i love mine. glad to hear your on the mend. are we shopping for parts yet?
  22. glad your okay. how new are the tires? for the first 100 miles i don't even try to push my tires.
