Sadly, 'could not make the Southern Spine Raid this year, but went for a long ride in solidarity Sunday, ending at my friend's cigar shop, who captured my arrival with a decent photo. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

I've been suffering from acute FOMO all weekend, not being able to make it. Looks like you all had an epic time! I'm hoping to be retired in a year, and will plan to make a week of it, and meet you all in-person next spine raid! Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Again, the meme was not a put down to Guzzi. The low-tech Hungarian guy was the hero of the event - taking the silver medal with ease with a much lower-tech old school set up.

...I wouldn't take it too seriously. But i think it somewhat accurately depicts BMW as always pursuing the latest technology (at times to their detriment), and Guzzi getting the job done well with less tech flash. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Have to say its kinda true, and i love the fact that the guy on the right representing Guzzi took a silver medal that night in his low-tech livery. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Yes, I've been enjoying my '03 Le Mans for over 4 years now. But thanks for reaching out. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Just watched it - filled in so many blanks for me. I'm surprised that Pete Roper hasn't added his insight to this one. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

I just ordered my copy from Italy - can't wait to receive it! Also, as discussed (apparently on a separate thread i can no longer find), i finally got around to writing to Piaggio Italy and North America urging them to produce a Dr. John tribute livery for the V100 Mandello. Here is the english text (also sent in Italian). Hopefully it will get them thinking about it if they aren't already. I will let you know should i get a non-automated response: "As you are likely aware, one of the most important individuals in Moto Guzzi history, Dr. John Wittner, died earlier this year. After discussing with dozens of other Guzzisti, we firmly believe that it would be fitting for you to produce a V100 Mandelo tribute model to this legend, similar to what you have done over the years for Omobono Tenni. Certainly, Dr. John's contributions to Moto Guzzi are every bit as important as Tenni's. A new book called "Dr. John's Moto Guzzi" was just released two months ago, and should provide all the information you need to make this tribute livery. Not only is this the proper thing for Moto Guzzi to do, I am quite certain that it would be a highly sought-after model. Thank you for your consideration."

This came up today on the Cafe Racer Magazine Instagram feed. Thought it was perfect to post under "Origins of the V11 [emoji56] Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

#600. Is that the last Scura to come off the assembly line? Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Wow, asking $6k for a bike with 37k miles. The one from a month ago was asking $7k (with lower miles) if I remember correctly. Glad to see the values are coming up a bit.

I will be very disappointed if the factory does not make a limited edition Dr. John tribute bike or at least a livery as they do for Tenni. We may, as a group, want to relay that to the factory - if there is a formal way of doing so. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Temp fix done. Battery charging again. It was the stator connection that fried Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk
