@Joe is forever enticing @Bill Hagan with another Ballabio .

" I wait all night for calls like these . . ."

Thanks, @wavey_davey1, for the detailed update. Welldone, and carry on! Just to stand by the record, GutsiBits ripped the Roper plate design without permission or acknowledgment. While they might, otherwise, serve the community well enough, that transgression is a mark against them. Two of our members have provided us with approved "P.Roper" plates honoring the designer with donations to "Doctors Without Borders." Perhaps you could invite them to make a donation , in kind . . .

Truly! I really could not believe this method saved my ORIGINAL forks seals. Twice! I have to, again, thank > Mikko < (R.I.P.) for sending that SealMate to me.

Right? I could not believe this method saved my leaky forks. Twice!

In our Registry, I see thirteen numbers reported above 600 including S699 in New Zealand. So, I reckon they actually numbered them all. (Watching for confirmation from @Danny-NL to update S224 . . .

Just for informational purposes, when we simply paste the address in the post, without using the "Link" [--] function, the window displays and can be played directly . . .

Amazing. I have never understood the ATC versus ATO difference. Thanks, @gstallons !

Thanks for letting us know. Godspeed, Bill. You are missed.

I kept looking down the road for this @footgoose cat to roll in . . .

Thanks, @audiomick, that is one I have mounted. FWIW, mine was "impact tested" in a sad incident and bent back into shape in the vise. Any OEM Guzzi lever would have snapped off, broken, with no chance of repair.

Last night, I found a live feed for the Americana Music Honors and Awards. This stream has been my musical saving grace: https://www.wmot.org/playlist#stream/0

I always like to pick a favorite from Bill's lovely slideshows . . .

I found the theme took me back to an algebra class, age thirteen, when a college-aged teacher's-aid lass was assigned to our class. The boys were all dumbfounded. I did very poorly at the algebra, but launched a lifelong interest in "anatomy and physiology" . . .

Agreed on looking for why fuses blow. Certainly, the Sport ignition switches are easily accessible, yet we had to access a LeMans (Rosso Corsa) switch for a fellow who had lost his key. It was accomplished, but by a younger, more nimble fellow, with smaller hands . . .

Here is @kool keef's trike. He has not visited with us since 2021 . . .

Perhaps as simple as addressing the failure prone spade connector on the switch under the rubber boot? You can do the "wiggle test", @fed . . . key on, engine off with gearbox in neutral: wiggle the boot/connector and observe for intermittent neutral light . . .

Something similar happened to me when one of the circlips failed to fully seat . . .

Hi, @Klaus756! Thanks for asking us to throw in on your project! We do have another member here with something similar. It will take me some time, but I will look for his profile, posts, and pictures. As far the driveshaft, your description sounds like you only got the front of the 2-peice driveshaft. It is very common for "breakers" to leave the back "half" on the reardrive, shown on this center reardrive . . .

And the snout?

Are those "AN" fittings and can be snugged up?

Ignition switch is accessible without pulling tank or fairing. Worth inspecting and cleaning.

That seems like a lot of voltage drop. Still could be ignition switch and/or dodgy connectors in the harness. Just getting the battery voltage up, does the tail light give any glow or the turn signals try to wink?

Here I thought it was an industrial strength espresso machine . . .

I finally went with the unbreakable one from HMBmoto in Germany . . .
