Wow, wouldn't that be quite something if a fresh flasher solved the issue? It is the little "tin can" under the seat @dbarb3 . . .

Good news is there is no relay in that circuit, so it's down to fuse, switch, and connectors. I have had some success spraying an contact cleaner like CRC Electronics Cleaner, followed by Caig DeOxit in beside the switch toggle and working it back and forth. Otherwise, the switch box is easy to open and apply the same clean/treat method. Certainly, the switch connector to the harness could attention, but let's start with the easy stuff . . .

Still watching for @Skip to check in . . .

From Shakespeare's “Band of Brothers” Speech from Henry V . . . “We few, we lucky few. We band of brothers !”

This fine fellow brought an iceboat-load of enthusiasm to share. Watching for him to check in after his long drive home . . .

AWESOME, @motowfo ! I love this plan !!!!!

FWIW, I used the master cylinder I took off mySport a few years back and a thread gauge to find the 1.00mm pitch. Having used "rulers" in the past to measure fasteners, and threaded holes, I must admit to being decidedly bad at it.

It is 1.00mm pitch.

Dave Richardson's "Guzziology ." What year is that "Version 7 ?"

Yeah: TXRedneck had this blown-up web persona. Yet, David was a genuinely kind and generous person. He just enjoyed winding people up on the web. Frankly, we kinda liked it, too. The entire subforum "Special Place for Banter and Conversation " is our accommodation to his ingenuity and clever provocation. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/profile/48-tx-redneck-rip/ Even his username was meant to be provocative. Yes, he was from Texas. A "redneck?" Not really. Certainly a hard working and caring man, sensitive to his family and friends. " TX Redneck " was more of a "stage name" . And, yeah, I miss hm. He was a friend to me like many of you have become to me. Our community is uncommon in web-terms. "Be kind to everyone you meet , for everyone is fighting a great battle. "

This is the second SSR that @Tellico Andrew has offered to share his local knowledge and take us new places, or along new routes. Another cool cat we are lucky to call "SpineRaider " . . .

Worth a dedicated thread, IMHO. Easy to add to it each year. Thanks for the images, @audiomick . . .

Not to mention guitars. (Did I mention guitars . . . . . .

SpineFrames and SpineRaids bring a smile. Just ask @sctt2525, who's been dropping by since SSR II/2006. 2024: 2006:

I have seen a lot of relay failures on V11 over all this time. TYCO is over-represented in the events. Jus' sayin' . . .

Macrophotography of micro relays.

Looks like the kind of specimen that would fetch top dollar on Bring-a-Trailer . . .

As prolific as I try to be, capturing images along the way, I could not find anything with @Josh's 1973 V7Sport juxtaposed with @KINDOY2's 2025 V85TT. Fifty-three years of Moto Guzzi, together, on the same ride! So, I made this collage (with my 2000 Sport in the background, almost exactly halfway between the bookend years) . . .

No Goozzees were harmed in the making of these marks! [Pirellis are replacement items, after all . . . ]

Ah, yah, man: The Cherohala Skyway. I know you are fond of this source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherohala_Skyway And this image from https://cherohala.com/ . . .

There is "something" beyond definition about riding with these sorts of riders . . . Something that engenders a genuine respect and admiration . . .
