She would... she is Russian... the first time I went there, I was expecting mamushkas; instead, I thought I was at a fashion show.

But Debussy "Moon Light" is among my favorites... In this video, Lang Lang exactly pictures the feelings you have when you ride a Moto Guzzi V11....

I used my VPN to georelocate in Berlin, so I don't get the message but the video still don't play. Some websites have the ability to spot VPN servers, because they always use the same IP number, unlike real clients which always have a different IP number. Since those VPN servers are used by many different VPN companies, they easily identify its a VPN and not an individual from the country. Before, it was never an issue. I have used VPN services since 2015. But today, I can't even log into my bank account if forget to disable my VPN.

Zarco stated that he was told in no uncertain terms that KTM (Pit Beirer) wanted to continue with the chassis which they finally ditched later on. This chassis was the complete opposite of his riding style, and he quickly understood that KTM was not going to make any of the changes he wanted. This is what lead to his resignation from the team. After a little while he knew that he would never be able to ride such a chassis. Interestingly, KTM abandoned that chassis which Ducati also had renounced to before. If you read what Miller said about the new carbon fiber chassis introduced recently, he actually praised that the bike was now a lot easier to turn than before. Now, what is the definition of a good development pilot? simply the ability to properly describe what should be improved on the bike, to make it more homogeneous and suitable to all pilots. Unlike the RCV which was modeled around Marc Marquez requirements. Let's see how Honda improves the RCV while Zarco rides for LCR. This should be our tattletale. From what I read, one of the reason Honda picked Zarco was exactly for that reason. If they believe he can help, I think they know more than we do. Gigi Dall'Igna gave him a job when he thought he was going back to Moto2. This should also support that he had a good reputation for testing, since this is what he did for Ducati until recently. Now that he has signed for Honda, he no longer has to check new parts.

You are from these days too? I remember there were only two weekly magazines at the time: Moto Revue and Moto Journal. Both of them have merged with Internet publications. However, in our Moto Club, you were either reading one, or the other. But not both.... lol.... Today, I am a subscriber of many "paper" monthly magazines from various origins. When I lived in Italy, I was a Motociclismo and Motosprint subscriber. I still read Motociclismo. (By the way, they too, say they have tried the Stelvio in "Esclusiva Mondiale"....https://www.motociclismo.it/esclusiva-mondiale-prova-moto-guzzi-stelvio-2024-83559 Here in the USA I have subscribed to a local publication, Ride Texas more for support than for its contents. But I am still a big fan of paper over DPI. As for getting had by MJ, I did not expect them to have any exclusivity. The way PR is done, they invite all the professionals in a single session. I found interesting that YouTube did target me, because I have certainly searched a lot of contents about the Moto Guzzi Stelvio, even if not the V100 one....

If you take for reference the official Moto Guzzi site in Italy, the only production models are the V7, V9, V85 TT, V100 Mandello; so we could safely assume the 1200 and 1400 cubed Vs are obsoleted. For good reason too; the V100 which will debut in the Stelvio is equipped with an O2 sensor to comply to Euro 5 emissions. It makes sense that none of the former big blocks could pass Euro 5. Will we see larger capacity blocks in the future? Will we see a café racer using the V100 engine? The V85 TT and the Stelvio V100 will cater to two different groups of riders. Moto Guzzi follows the trend which sees every brand.

It seems like all the media people had access to the pre-production bikes at the same time. I prefer the written cycleword report to any of those banter videos in any case. I wonder if the V100 Stelvio will influence the pricing of the 1200 NTX...

The electrics on a V11 are very basic, and does not require a lot of knowledge. However, you absolutely need a tester to check your connections. Visual inspection can be deceiving. Get yourself a basic Multimeter, a suggest an analogical one, volts, continuity/resistance.

Actually, Zarco has been praised by Gigi Dall'Igna for his contribution in validating new options for the factory bikes. One of the less known reason why he was not always at the front, is because he was checking new options before they would end up on the other motorcycles. If you remember the complaint from Bagnaia that he was not a test pilot, this is when Ducati decided that all new options would be first checked by Zarco for a green light. This often prevented him to concentrate on his own setup. But he was happy to oblige. One of the main reason Honda signed Zarco to LCR is to use his skills, experience, to get the RCV back to where it should be. Now Marquez said that the defect of the Honda is very well known, but Zarco will be able to validate the modifications as we can expect it is going to be a step by step process. Zarco said that he did not consider the HRC proposal, first because it was only for a single year, and second, he had already worked with Lucio Cecchinello, and the LCR team, and he felt comfortable with them. Also, he has an option to remain for a 3rd year if things go well. The reason why he did not stay at KTM, according to him, is because they were not interested to modify the chassis to suit his riding style. They later did, but not during his time. Zarco rode all the MotoGP minus the Aprilia. I am pretty certain he will bring some value to Honda. I would have liked that he had remained at Pramac, but again, he said that Ducati was slow to make their intentions clear. So he chose to leave before it was too late. At Motegi, he was 2 seconds faster than the guys at the front before he went hydroplaning. He was 6th. Who knows what could have happened.

The OP stated when he switches the ignition, the bike remains dead; no light on the dash, no fuel pump noise; with the run switch in off position, you still get the lights and the fuel pump.

@Yam350 As promised, I contacted Mouser Electronics who had the Panasonic Thermistor part number in their catalog. They sent me a quotation with zero quantity stating the item is not currently manufactured by Panasonic. "No longer" would have been more appropriate.

Seems like Moto Journal got the drop on everyone else... this is the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024....

Dang! I really don't understand why would someone remove that sticker, unless it was stolen and someone wanted to hide the serial number?

I am big Zarco fan, and listening to interviews yesterday, let's not forget he won two Moto2 championships in a row, but he did waste time when switching to KTM unfortunately. BB33 has also consumed his rear tire, that is probably why he got reined in by the rest. Zarco was always known to be very smooth and able to preserve tires to prowl towards the end of the races. it paid off this time, since he was able to pounce on all initially in front of him. Bagnaia applied the same principle more or less. He resisted chasing Jorge Martin and gambled that he would finish his rear tire before the end. Reading the comments on specialized media, everybody is wondering why did Jorge Martin took such a gamble... he was fastest, including on the medium tire, what was he trying to gain? he has now given a lot of leeway to Bagnaia to win the season, starting with the cancellation of the sprint race on Sunday. With only four more Grand-Prix left, 27 points difference don't seem to be much, but if Bagnaia wins by only a few points, JM will certainly remember that tire bet...

Is there any way to check your ECU type? the adhesive label that I see on photos is missing on mine. It has been ripped off.

I think each era had its challenges. I was 16 years old when the Honda 750 CB came about, and of course, my dream bikes, the Kawasaki triples. I had the privilege to ride on a 500 Mach3, and this was my first real scare. This bike was just an engine with wheels, no brakes to speak of, a very wobbly frame but an acceleration that nothing else could match at the time. Then came the 750 H2 which nick name was the widow maker for reason. But again, the cars of those days were no match in acceleration or speed. And there weren't that many of them anyway. Speed is euphoric! it is so easy to let it take over reason and accountability... I think that has never changed. However today, you have many more four wheeled and eighteen wheeled vehicles that want to occupy your space of asphalt. In 1972, they had a Grand-Prix near Paris, where the new general market had moved. Following that Grand-Prix, every friday nights motorcycle riders assembled there to race using the same track. There were injuries at each reunion. The police started to show up, but as soon as they stopped coming, the racing continued. To put a final cap, they put speed bumps on the straights. I used to live 10' away from that market. I was there every Friday night, but I always remained within my limits and that of my bike.

Even if we don't always understand or realize it, for those of us who are into their late 60's or early 70's, we were in a forgiving driving world. People were actually trying to drive properly, and paying attention. Today, driving is like breathing, a reflex that you don't need to focus upon because it takes time away from texting or talking with your phone on your hand. Turn indicators? who use them nowadays anyway. Today's bikes have better brakes, riding equipment is no longer the usual leather paper thin or Barbour jacket but becomes incompatible with the weather systems we are experiencing almost everywhere in the world. To the point where you cannot ride during summer to avoid getting a heat stroke, or ride during thunderstorms because roads flood, or you do not have any kind of visibility. Crazy!

That same Motorcycle is now at 12,000 USD or 11,995 USD like they write it.

The GS contributed to create a completely new genre of Motorcycles; right up to the 1250 GS. 2023 1300 GS seems to have taken a new direction from the long running spirit of what the GS was, is? It now looks more like a Moto Guzzi V100 than a GS. But still with the BMW innovative technology. From what I understood, they have finally gotten the Telelever front suspension to work so you could get all the perks of the system, without its major inconvenient: the lack of front feeling. According to the journalists that rode it, including on terrain, it feels like a conventional suspension, but provides the rigorousness and precision of a Telelever. They also have tweaked the engine, so the response is a lot more linear than it used to be. For those of us who like their torque at low rpm, well the new 1300 GS no more. Or no longer the same would be probably more accurate. I never liked BMW motorcycles, so it is all the same to me. The Quota initially and Stelvio now are what appeal to me for a second bike, whenever I get the space if I ever get it.

Finally Zarco.... I thought it came at the right time, and not as a lucky gift because of the weather. He actually had to work to make it happen. Of course, Jorge Martin took a gamble, which almost worked. Zarco explained that he felt that if he was only going to try to stay second, those behind him may have taken the chance, so he had to seize on the moment. Anyway, we had Zarco's signature back flip on a MotoGP race finally, in Philip Island nonetheless; nice! Tomorrow's races have been pushed up one hour on weather forecast.

Well, as expected, Jorge Martin did the pole and fastest lap record. BB behind but at 0.4", followed by Francesco Bagnaia who did manage Q2 with MM93. One has to admire how Marc Marquez is shamelessly using tows to maximize his chances. In Q1, he initially started with Pecco, but when Augusto Fernandez managed 1st and Pecco 2nd, he switched to Fernandez managed Q2. Same technique used in Q1, less successful though. Only 7th. Still, Joan Mir is only 16th. Will Marquez continue catching tows on a Ducati?

I think the T-800 only communicates via Bluetooth to its Application via your media. It is more modern than connecting through a USB port via a cable. I know that Triumph advertises that you can get your guidance app to display on the dashboard. Like all the modern cars do in the USA. But transmitting in the opposite direction, I am not certain it works. I know that some Ev can transmit information over Wifi to inform you that your charge has completed. But not via Bluetooth. As for downloading the existing map before you upload a different one, is is compulsory. They would not sell anything if it was not working this way. You need to have the possibility to return to the initial map if needed.
