What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

[Parson]

Thanks. I should said "blasts" my head.

I changed my oils for the 7.5k service. It was a bit of a hassle to replace the gearbox plug as I had to play with the exhaust crossover tube. Any tips here? I also replaced the round reflected with one I bought online. I like it.

You bet. Loosen the clamps on the crossover pipe and rotate it away from the drain plug. There should be enough slack in the O2 sensor wire to allow you to move it quite a bit.

I got some Radiantz color-changing LEDs for my Griso's body for Christmas. Finally got those installed a few weeks ago and it looks great. I love the "morph" setting.

Most exciting for me, though, I took him out for a ride this afternoon on a back road I've done before. However, I'm a newbie and the LAST time I was out that way, the bike got away from me while I was stopped at a light on a steeply banked part of the road. I ended up dropping it at the light and then even more humiliatingly struggling to get it back upright and running again. THIS time, though, I caught the same light again and did it with no problems. I know I doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment but that stupid light has been a monkey on my back and screwing up my confidence for weeks, so it felt really good to "fix" it.

Finished my winter bike service today. The TPS and TB were still spot on after 4k miles. CARC guzzi are great - can't wait for my next ride.

THIS time, though, I caught the same light again and did it with no problems.

Looks like Don Quixote was topped by Dulcenea by beating a ferocious giant (windmill)! Congrats! Guzzis are great handling bikes - tend to help improve skills.

Ha! Yes, I was happy to keep my tilting at windmills to a minimum today!

Sadly, I'm going to have to find and fit a mid-size windshield though. Pretty much all of my riding is done at 70+ mph freeway speeds and the wind is killing my neck after a while. Suggestions appreciated!

Looks like the Givi A770 is the screen of choice. I've got a little Puig screen that does a reasonable job too.

Looks like Parabellum has a couple of options now.

I trucked my Breva 11 to The Motocycle Shop in Watertown, SD for a late-winter laying on of hands by the professionals. I do routine maintenance but believed it was time for a real Guzzi mechanic to have a look around the bike. Also finally having the Mana handlebar I bought long ago installed; and the bike had sprung an oil leak on my last Fall ride. For transport I bought a Baxley Sport Chock and the Cycle Cynch recommended by MPH in Houston, and a U-Haul motorcycle trailer. A nice, stable combination. With any luck I'll get a refreshed Breva back just in time for spring. By the way, the shop owner told me he was just back from the 1400/new 750 service school in California.

Hi,

today I went to a Guzzi parts market in a little place not to far from me.
Meeting some Guzzi friends for the first time this year.
Springtime is going to start overhere, but the roads still are quite salty.
So my G12 stays in so far.
I'm busy with my G12, cleaning and blocking the steppermotor and minor other things.
And I bought a Moto Guzzi helmet today at TLM in Nijmegen, a very good Guzzi dealer.

 

[pokeyjoe]

Nice!

 

[Dulcenea]

Yesterday I added on the windshield (the ever-elusive Givi 770) I bought from a fellow forum member. Looks good and went on easily. I can't wait to try it out and get it painted to match.

 

[pokeyjoe]

I took the baffles out of my Agostini's for the first time. I put them back.

 

[Supaflee]

[Rafael]

We all make mistakes

Well, now I feel better about stripping an occasional thread. Nothing like an example real misery to set me straight.

Keep hunting, something will come up.

Nothin'. Absolutely nothin. I hate being sick.

I live close to the beach so almost everyday after work, I will jump on my Breva and take a ride to the beach. It gives me a chance to ride and also to check out the ocean.
