Foreword: I initially purchased and installed one clock and one thermometer from the Formotion brand. Twice one of the instrument sheared from its brackets. Formotion replaced it free of charge, but when it happened a second time this year in 2023, I came to the conclusion the way the dial is attached to the bracket is too flimsy. I have now installed Marlin's instruments which link is provided herewith. They have several clocks and thermometer faces, I chose white background. Hopefully, they will stay on my Le Mans longer this time. I will let you know if we get any casualty. Photo 1: Formotion Instruments Photo 2: details of the sheared clock from its mount: I found another company, Marlin's; The fixation for the instruments is articulated, and seems a lot more sturdy than Formotion. You can replace the battery in the clock, it is your typical button one. The instruments glow in the dark. Here's how it looks: Photo 3: Marlin's Instruments Photo 4: The holding bracket is articulated you can swivel and tilt the dial, and the clock can be rotated for better view; Photo 5: left hand side.

Or this classic

Well not today but yesterday.... After getting home late Friday night ( Holiday ). Sat was shopping as fridge empty and unpack settle back in etc. Sunday and Monday chores round the house as want to get some riding in on last week of Annual leave and weather looks good! (for a change). Bugger, back giving me some grief after the wood cutting (Arthritis / lower back) but this means the bloody lawns will have to wait till that's better!! (not so sure that's much of a silver lining though). So... after hearing that the weather will now be turning to crap from Wed thru back to work Monday but possible good weekend a plan was hatched to go and see my mechanic Rob down on the coast and discuss next service and may as well get an oil change whilst there. Funny but a good ride on the bike doesn't do the bad back any harm at all and doesn't detract from the ride! So off we go.... Weather a lovely/ sunny 18 degrees and no wind.The bike fired right up and ran perfectly.It being a weekday and 9.30am I had the road down to the highway to myself and both of us just flowed along and LOVED IT. Got there and found a Veyrus (hub steering Ducati powered EXOTICA) was driving him NUTS...Wow incredible looking thing that has given the owner nothing but GRIEF in the 2 years he's owned it! So, I think he was glad of the distraction! All sorted and time to head home,temp now in mid- twenties too. Once again, I had the fun part of the road to myself and both me and bike just flowed along at a nice brisk pace.The Polaroid I was expecting from a few weeks prior never turned up but the paranoia of it still a little fresh ha ha. All in all, a great wee outing even though it was only 160 odd kays but oh so good for the SOUL. Cheers Ps So glad I did this as weather this morning is wet with a high of 13 degrees.....

You mean like this =>

Hello, I'm interested i the carbon hugger if the person who buys the bike doesn't want it. Also you may want to check your price again - seems a bit low

Burnouts = Good Burnups = Bad

RBW => Ride By Wire Electronic interface between the GO grip and the engine.

Here's the link to the new brand I found as an alternative to Formotion:

No rain? I had planned to conclude the tour this week-end, but did not. I have to do the two route 66 stops and will make my way down to Marfa where I am planning to shoot the Guzzi under the starry skies, possibly the Milky Way. However, past week-end with rain precluded it. In the last "Ride Texas" magazine, they actually propose some rides in Arkansas; looks pretty!

This week-end was supposed to be the one when I would complete my Texas Tour stops; However, we had heavy thunderstorms predicted to take place over most of Texas, so I decided to delay. Nevertheless, yesterday I opted to have lunch in Brenham: I said bring it down! It did not disappoint. I got there completely drenched! The Le Mans loved it though....
