Stock mufflers, K&N filter. I would think about any map would do.. it's for a friend's bike that is running poorly. Thanks for that! I'm pretty sure he's aware of that. He thinks there may be something corrupted..

The Kid called me last night, and asked where he could get a map for a silver red frame. Stock mufflers, K&N filter. He said for whatever reason he couldn't change the CO with GuzziDiag, and it is running lean. I looked at the map share area and only found the Titanium map. Am I missing something? I sent him Meinhof's instructions for setting the trim. TIA

I have some friends that were coming back from the west coast through the prairie. She is a sweet thing, and wouldn't say sh!t, etc. They normally camp, but in the evening of one of "those" days, she slammed her kickstand down and said, "Get me an effin motel. I'm not riding another mile.." We've all had those days.. Motorcycle trips are memorable. Some good and some bad. Just the same, if you don't remember that day, was it worth living?

Good un, Docc..

Actually, this *sounds* like a fly and ride candidate. You never know, of course..

I put one on the Jack-All rig, and truly couldn't tell the difference. It was $42 from the local Harley dealer at the time. IMG_5475 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

It would be an adventure for sure.. and just how many adventures are available in this modern world? What could possibly go wrong? Meh.. go for it. I would.

I hope I'm still flying at 82.. good for him.

I've gone farther.. A bike hauler is cheaper, though..

Good plan.. Congrats. I've said many times the cheapest bike you can buy is the most expensive. I assume we'll be seeing it at the Iowa and Wisconsin rallys?

No truer words were ever spoken.

There is such a small market for Guzzi related things, most manufacturers won't even look at it.

Maybe. I've read that an analog meter is better for that. I had a bad TPS one time, and couldn't see it on the Techno research software. Refresh my memory. What is the setting on your idle mixture screws?

Some guys could break a hammer..

You don't really need the breakout harness.. it's just handy to have.

Hmmm, thought I replied. It's Mexican night, and a Margarita may be involved.. but the break out harness isn't what you are referencing above. That's the GuzziDiag harness.

You understand that we require pictures, right?

Lets' call that 1 to 2 inches since I only talk 'Merican. I haven't measured it, but I'll bet the svelte V11S is pushing with (throwing dart) 100 lbs per square inch on the end of the sidestand. (or more) I can definitely see that wearing the stand pretty fast.

I think it is safe to say that idling on the sidestand is not a good idea..

Just to make it plain, the scotch and a beer I was talking about was from the night before. The 4 of us came up on the Harley doods pretty rapidly, and they started totally outriding their ability to keep us from passing. Crossing the centerline on blind corners.. that sort of thing. We simply pulled off, had a bottle of water, and waited for maybe 15 minutes or so. We just caught them again at the "roadhouse" at the top. I wonder what they were thinking when Jamaliah took off her helmet? At any rate, if you get a chance to run 180, I'd recommend it.

We went there on the Jack-All rig, but there were a lot of big trees in the way. Finally found a trail that led us to Nevada.. There is a road going East out of Visalia.. let me look it up. You will like it. Excerpt from journal.. 10-11-14 Jam’s Rosso Corsa (!) was hard to start, and I vetoed taking it. I’d rather fix it in the garage than on the side of the road. Had a great ride, found my new favorite road.. 180 to the top of the mountain. Some Harley dix got in our way, so we decided to not try to pass. They were freakin dangerous. I expected one or more to run off the road or get hit by a car at any time. A few minutes wait was all it took. Lunch at the roadhouse on top, then some gorgeous scenery going down the mountain. Back to Jam’s, fixed her bike, had a little more scotch and a beer, dinner at a steak joint. A memorable trip, definitely a good time.

Crap. I'd love to, but won't be back in SoCal until next fall.

Yeah well Occam's razor tells me the Guzzi Engineers guessed wrong. If I remember, I'll take a couple of pix.

Don't need one. I hope.
