Had a good time at Misano today except for MM usual dirty riding at the end,seems he can’t help himself, He was basically boo’d out of the place by the entire Grandstand heading back to Rimini now, Then its off to The Dolomite’s early in the morning.. a few days up there then I guess I’ll do Stelvio and maybe stop by Mandello on the way back down south..,the v85 was excellent in the downhill switch backs around Tavullia yesterday thats where it shows its best… Its been Hot and humid for a couple weeks now.

Look at my post may 29 2021, how easy the distance can be measured. Me and interweb. Cheers Tom.

I made a tool to get the clearance correct , easyly made in an afternoon. I didn't want to put anything inside the engine. Picture here somewhere, may be june 21. Cheers Tom.

Brembo SSP discs, I use them for my trackbikes and now on the Guzzi as well.

There is but don't go anywhere near it with gasket sealer as it will inhibit the pressure sensitive sealant on the gasket doing it's job. https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=170_174&products_id=5044 OR Mick you could by a USED front cover gasket from a local ebay retailer in Germany. Remarkable value, can't go wrong there mate. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/176430408521?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20211130125621%26meid%3D6565c1fed2f64fce8f2954b20c0e8b4f%26pid%3D101465%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D386889832760%26itm%3D176430408521%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D3650466&_trksid=p3650466.c101465.m3507 Phil

BMW Motorcycles of Escondido is now renamed Moto San Diego, and they have expanded their line-up to include Moto Guzzi and Aprilia, instead of being a one-brand shop. https://www.motosandiego.com/ At the moment, they are only showing five Moto Guzzis and five Aprilias in stock. But I think it's worth a ride over tomorrow morning on a Moto Guzzi, just to get acquainted. This shop tried carrying some Piaggio brands several years ago, but it failed. I don't know the circumstances, but I think that was at a time that a lot of people were complaining about how hard it was to work with Piaggio. Hopefully things are better now. This shop is right around the corner from Moto Forza, which carries Ducati, Husqvarna, Triumph, MV Agusta, Royal Enfield, Vespa. Previously, my closest Moto Guzzi (GP Motorcycles) was 30 miles away. Now I have one only 14 miles away. Much closer....

We happen to be in town for a few days of R&R…this sounds like a good excuse to go over and see the shop and grab a coffee nearby in the morning as well since we are very close by. I am hoping they might offer rentals at some point for the next visit…last time I was in town I rented a Triumph Bonneville from a dealer in San Diego but would love to rent a newer Guzzi next time!

I'm messin' w/ya

Corny, but nice! The final is the lighting of a cauldron which is then flown above the Louvre. The torch bearer were Carl Lewis, Rafael Nadal, Nadia Comaneci and Serena Williams. Wearing inflatable safety vests... lol!

My bikes that use the exact same disks, the Ducati 1000SS the Guzzi V11 Sport and the Ducati ST2 have had the following 320mm disks fitted to them over the years. Braking Wave, Galfer wave, Std Brembo original dished with round holes and later style spoke Brembo. All have stopped exactly the same road and track, no difference with the same pads and callipers.

Sorry, somebody had to post it. Have fun.
