Here's a link to some pictures and a trip report from my Austin MotoGP trip. Enjoy. http://www.azbeemers.org/forum/index.php?topic=5947.0

I agree. While RaceTech valves or other brand valves are awesome I think springs are the most important aspect of suspension.

For all Pete's "colorful" opinion, I totally agree with him. I don't take issue with the small blocks or any of the other "retro" old tech Guzzi is selling or those that buy it. In fact, I kinda hope they make a bunch of money selling that retro stuff to someone else, but only because I then hope they will be able to afford to make something exciting with modern performance. Once upon a time Guzzi was a technology leader. It would be nice if they could at least catch up at this point.

I can't be doing with the retrograde technology Bill. That's all. The Hi-Cam, 4V design is ideally suited to the Guzzi 'Transverse' twin and going back to a prehistoric OHV design just leaves me cold. Yes, I know the smallblocks are 'Popular'. That's fine, they are aimed at, and are liked by, people with zero interest in any sort of 'Performance' be it power, handling, anything. What they want is a motorbike that looks like their grandads bike because it's 'Cool'. That's fine but it isn't what I want or what interests me and I'm certainly not going to to heap undeserved praise on it simply because it's wearing a Guzzi badge. I hope they sell squillions of them. Then they might be allowed to build a truly exciting motorbike again.

Scud, there's some VERY tasty big bike friendly dirt roads in So. Utah. I highly recommend the Burr Trail, it goes east from the town of Boulder UT. Then, just a few miles SE from Boulder is the Hell's Backbone Rd. that will take you over to Escalante. South out of Escalante is BLM300 which hooks into Smokey Mt. Rd. Make sure your brakes work good before starting out on this one. And finally Cottonwood Canyon Rd. south from Kodachrome St. Park. Google em.

Job done... Project finished... Now we waiting for a spring

Rest of the bike. Unfortunately is not completed. I'am still waiting for a "Tenni" stickers but now looks like below:
