No it is still in kit form. I purchased all the necessary parts including some second hand bits from the US that we’re apparently made of Unobtanium but those bits are sitting in Point Robert’s on the wrong side of the Border (along with my boat)! Not sure I will get to see either of them until late Spring. I did however get a Stelvio during the year to add to the collection and put some miles through that and the California, so all was not lost. Now we need the rain to stop and I can start to use them again. Roll on Spring. Happy Xmas to all.

We are definitely side show freaks...... For a long time Ducati was in the same boat, Ducati was a brand that successful mainstream dealerships sold as a side show. Now Ducati is a mainstream brand.....

I've tried fastening it. Let's just say it wasn't one of my better judgement calls

Hey there, Cabernet; Before I get to what I want to say, I would like to tell you a little about who I am, so you understand where I am coming from. Thanks for your detailed written review. I find that written reviews are more informative than these "talking heads" videos. I am European, and live and reside in H'town Texas since 2008. I have been a "motard" since the 70's, however I am currently not owning a bike, but hoping to change my status in the near future. I like the Beeline. I am probably going to purchase one, if and when I become a Guzzisto. (Male, singular), Guzzista (Female singular), Guzzisti (Male plural), Guzziste (Female plural). Now, one feature that I deem essential, is the mileage to destination count down displayed, together with the ETA. See, here in Texas, once you start getting away from the large cities, refueling may become an issue. With newer motorcycles, autonomy is less of a problem as you most likely have a reliable fuel tank gauge and an onboard computer that gives you the remaining autonomy in real time. As I am planning on having a 2004 Le Mans, I will always need to know where to get gas ahead of time. I went to Marfa Texas in November this year. It is about a 9 hours drive from H'town. Once you leave the I-10, things get wild for the better and the worse. As a work around, I could possibly input hops to destination. But it would be nice to have the remaining distance shown, to work out how long before I deplete my fuel. When I lived in Europe, I never really cared, because you are never far from a town. In the US, there are some states and roads that you can travel and not see anybody, where cell phone access can also be scarce. The photo below is taken on route 505, proceeding towards route 166 to 118; you can find Gas in the main cities only. Nothing in between. And this is the Chihuahua desert. Below is a screen capture of the "zone" around Marfa. There is nothing between the "cities". If you read this post, when the moderator means "direct", it means you simply paste the URL of the pic you want to embed. The web page decodes it automatically unlike before, when you had to have the proper code e.g. "BB" to define it.

Thanks again - all 3 cables have been ordered!
