no wait. The tire that came on the bike was toast and I got rid of it after a month. Then I purchased a Dunlop Qualifier full Sport tire and replaced that one with a Michelin PR3 (which I rode to North Carolina and back). I noticed the PR3 was center channeled and getting down to the wear bars (and much more worn that the PR3 on my Bandit), so I decided to replace it now with Pirelli Angel GT. I still have aPR3 on the front. Of course, I still haven't even ridden it with Angel. I've learned the hard way, not to go off on a trip when the wear bars are even starting to show. I've gotten home from a couple of trips with lots of steel belt showing from the center pretty scary -which I think was why I got rid of the Qualifier. So I am prepping for the Daytona trip and getting everything prepped (even though I taking the 5th wheel). I am not certain when I installed the PR3 but my inclination is that I didn't get the mileage I expected. Docc will tell you I ride like a little old lady. In fact, I am retired, a senior citizen.

actually I checked the website and the Ago is 400 euros vs $700. quite a markdown. Plus shipping and waiting. I am just going for the $70 U Joint.

that is confusing Leon. I don't get the point.

Hard to say if it's worn out or boogered out. Such the travails of preventive maintenance. Mechanic said it didn't feel smooth and needed to be replaced. So, I can get the UJoint for $70.

Hopefully, that's what I need. I'll get it overnighted and hopefully will be riding soon- now that the weather is headed to 70 and the snow is disappearing. Certainly better than being in Daytona and have it lock up on me there,

24-25k miles. I bought it with 14k, Aug 2012. 4th back tire going on since I bought it.

looks like it's a total cluster now. ..U joint is worn out... apparently needs a new shaft u-joint assembly... u joint not separate? No parts at Harpers. ugly

we'll see if this works out.

I am getting my green 01 Sport serviced for a new rear tire. I asked the mechanic to enlarge the porthole to service the front U Joint. When examining it, the zerk is pointed to the rear of the bike rather than pointed to the front. So regardless of cutting a new porthole, there is no way to access the zerk without disassembling the swing arm. He recommends that he disassemble it and the reinstall by reversing the U Joint so the zerk points to the front. Any suggestions or warnings greatly appreciated.

I plan to be there. Perhaps I'll trailer it.

This guy has ridden the bike for 600 miles over ten years and thinks he'll ride more on a Harley?

really? you have to ask? http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2049801961&feature=iv&src_vid=u6d8eKvegLI&v=MEWYOt3bxNI

go for it. I am leaning towards Camp Carlo, there are still camp spots left.

I wonder if anyone here is going? I am taking my rv and the Greenie. I have reservations at "Camp Carlo" as well as at an RV Park where some of the other Guzzi riders camp. I've got to decide where to stay. drinks, cigars, bikes, and get out of the cold.

"......you devils!"

my plan was to ride back through the Ozark like I did on the way out but to spend an extra day or two sport riding. But getting that ticket in Harrison Ark on my way to your place made me gun shy. And until I got the ticket settled, I thought that riding with interstate traffic would be the safest way to avoid another ticket. Luckily I was able to keep it off my driving record- they just wanted the money$. I might just trailer or take the RV to the next raid.

I keep mine covered with the tank bag mount. But if you want to get rid of the that carbon fiber pad, give me a call. Looks pretty cool.. BTW- what would happen if you removed the pad? Couldn't you cover the sport with the decal from the later bikes?

It couldn't have been that howlin' burn-up across the Cherohala . . . C'mon Doccc..... I might be a flatlander but I was going quick enough on the Cherohala to work the edge rather than the middle of the tire. I am sure that we were all within the speed limits.

That Pilot Road 3 on the rear of Greenie is down to the wear bars. Maybe 5k miles. Doesn't seem like good mileage to me compared to my other Michelins. The ride on I-40 back from Nashville probably contributed to center channel wear.
