Can't choose between V11 and 2v CARC bike. Help!!
LowRyter replied to Icenian's topic in Newer models
I will tell you there are die hard Breva Sport fans out there, 1200 2V. One of my buddies like it better than his Griso Red Devil. But calling Pete, those Breva dashboards are harder to fix than LeMans fairings. None look better than a spiney. Not sure they handle as well either....but the Devil did have more motor, I'll admit. Never ridden a Breva, I do know a fellow that ride cross country all the time on one and goes by moniker TravelByGuzzi. -
@RandyI used sorbothane pads in the mirrors for mine. They're still a little jumpy and narrow... You're on the 939SS board? https://www.ducatisupersport939.net/ Note: I have no memory of reading or posting here. I was so sick at the time, I was totally out of it.

I periodically clean the the switch with contact cleaner and cycle it a few times. Sometimes play with the relays also clean those contacts and fuse as well.

Horsepower vs Torque
LowRyter replied to GuzziMoto's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
I haven't watched the video but just looking at the formula, both HP and TQ seem to be measuring units of power but at different RPM ranges. TQ under 5252 and HP over that number. That said, some engines like Harleys, never rev past 5k and others, like race engines, rev so high that the TQ peak is above the 5252. But when looking at "metric" HP and TQ calculations, there isn't a crossover point. That was explained somewhere on the board several years ago, not that I understood it. -
I've got the same rack on my Greenie. The HB JR bags alternate between the Sport and the EV whenever needed.

home heating oil rant
LowRyter replied to mikev's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
Basically a geology report to know that the house wouldn't sink because of coal mining, IIRC. I was getting a paid move from my job. They hired an outside firm to help with the sale and even buy my house. I found a buyer that beat their price but somehow, they're hooks in the process required the survey even though they were a 3rd party (non buyer). Luckily they didn't screw up the sale. I protested when they threw up this red flag in the middle of the sale that I'd made. Anyway, I signed the papers and they got their hooks into the deal. It's not like I sell a house everyday and never had a contractor "assist" with bait of them buying my house. -

@Joe I lived in Illinois for 5 yrs- Louis area. I got a shock when I was selling my house and was required to have a subsidence survey. -

Is fuel oil the same as diesel or a close relative? Diesel was $5 a month ago and $3.50 now. Perhaps I should load up the external tank on my truck? My house is natural gas and electric, everything gas is gas. That was the best cost and environmental solution when I built the place 30 years ago. Still the cheapest of conventional choices. I think 40% of electrical generation is from wind in my state, the rest from gas. There's a guy on WG that used to live in Kansas that converted his house to solar and thought it was great. Anyway, I read that diesel will continue to have a higher spread vs gasoline due to demand imbalance. There are only so many gallons of diesel that can come out a barrel of oil, if folks are using less gasoline, the spread will be higher. True or not? It's just what I read. But that's the scare regarding EVs...again, I'm not saying it's true. -
Red Frame V11 Sport in Bianco Polare
LowRyter replied to Joe's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
snow white? just a guess. One of the few colors that doesn't quite work. -
Might check the fuel pump. Not sure if it's #4. That's what what happened to the Greenie., it coughed before it died. Kept blowing fuses and blew the spare in a couple of miles. Looking at my bike, I think the diagram shows a 10A for the instruments (front to back)? That doesn't sound right. 4th coming the other way (back to front) is a 15A for the headlights. I have no idea why this is printing red.

I asked about internet radio a while back. I found a really good station in Oregon KJIV. K Jive. Plays a lot of variety that seems to flow here. A community non profit. Also listening the Aardvark recommended here. Tunein has Rockin Rhythm and Blues Radio. They also GDRADIO (Grateful Dead). So if you're into internet radio, please share. For sure check out K Jive.

I got my foxes fixes at Joel Levine. Docc, has a complete set-up from Speed Hut that's a near replica of the stock gauges with Guzzi eagles and everything. Just search here and you can probably find the link and order the exact same one.

I see it's been on Showtime for weeks. My son's Netflix will let me see the Glass Onion in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for asking. I was finally able to complete all my normal Gym work last Friday, I was able to follow up Monday and today. My heartbeat still isn't where it should be but it's improving. But my strength and stamina are better -about 85%. I've been riding the Duc when the weather is nice. I couple weeks ago I was so weak I could barely lean it but I'm hitting the apexes now. Monday, I did my complete workout and did a couple hours on the Duc. I was worn out when I got home. I cooked on the grill and had scotch & cigar and perked right up. So thanks for asking and I'm getting better.

I like to keep of list of good BBQ when I travel or get the urge at home. Somebody should start a list. As folks try the recommendations, then edit the list or give *** STAR ratings. I've never tried the white sauce chicken BBQ in Alabama. Driven by the place on may way to Daytona or Barber but didn't eat there. Tried some BBQ downtown B'ham, not rendered or smoked, so no stars. I'm a BBQ snob for sure.

Oh my, Docc are we going to have to replace this stuff too?

Organ meat? Back when we were married you could find beef heart in the supermarket. It was cheap and she could really cook it. I'd like to try it again but we argue how she used to cook it. My memory is much more appetizing than hers. While we're at it, nothing like liverwurst on a sandwich or some fried chicken gizzards.

By comparison, Menudo is pretty good. Actually, the time I had it, it was OK, actually good.

mmm mmm

add scrapple to something that I don't what it is. along with curds and poutine....I wouldn't know this stuff if I saw it, don't know what's in it, muchless what it tastes like. I'm not sure if you're making these out as regional delicacies or something to avoid. I'm guessing the latter.

Notice the Leather Saddle Bags on Chuck's bike. That's where he keeps his pipes. I have no idea what he's smokin'.
