From my experience those EV wheels have a tendency to leak. They seem to get a lot of build up on the lip after tire changes. Even when thoroughly cleaned they can sometime leak after the next mounting.

Solve the mysteries of the motorcycle internet, like why is one cylinder hotter than the other? Why do the tires wear out on the left side first? What deficiencies can we blame on ethanol? Just don't mention countersteering or trail braking, all fightin' words.

BTDT. I was at the Salida CO rally and had just gotten the EV. I mentioned it to Matt Forslund and he hit both cylinders with a temp gun and shrugged his shoulders. Of course, there could be all kind of reasons unrelated to the topic, like a slight difference in ignition timing or one side being leaner...... all the Guzzi black magic stuff.

I really appreciate that.

For one time in my life I'll clarify what Chuck said about a mechanical thing. I think the better term is firing interval (instead of firing order). The bike has a 270/450 degree crank, meaning that one cylinder goes 3/4 of a turn to fire while second one goes 1 1/4 turns to fire. In other words, consider twice around the clock for firing a 4 cycle engine. The first cylinder fires at 9am and the second fires a midnight. So the first cylinder works a little harder than the 2nd one. For sure, I've noticed that my EV runs hotter on one side.

A shame that Rogers and Gilmore can't get back together.

I never owned one but one my dad's friend did (3000 Mk iii). It was 2+2 so there was a little bench seat in the back. The car would wind out pretty good and had a little kick to it to be fast. His had wire wheels and when going into high double digits it would buck and shake. A few years ago I was talking to fellow that restored a big Healey (4 cyl) and said the same thing about the wire wheels.

I acquired a new Slime air pump. I wore out the old one because I could never get a gas station chuck to clear the Sport's rear wheel. I wore out the the threads on the old one and too many missed engagements wore out the pump seals (I guess). 10 years and $20 dollars, RIP. The new one has the quick lever engagement. Took about a minute to get the rear filled from 30 to 40lb. Downside, it's about twice the size to store as the old one and only has a cardboard box rather than a vinyl case.

for $ ONE MILLION DOLLARS !

The best looking bikes ever are the V11 Sport and Lemans and they aren't on the photo board and only one photo of the previous? Now looking for the Tontis, like Calis and standards, I see a Lemans or two. Pretty strange.

I didn't see any V11 series Spine Frame on the poster perhaps a Spot or Daytona.

A few scuffs and fixes and that Griso will be back on the road. Hope the rider gets fixed soon too.

I use DP forums. It's free and about photography. https://www.dpreview.com/ Allows 1000 photos in your gallery, up to 100 uploads a day @ 20 megapixels. I've got about 500 photos there.

So you're hoping that Guzzi gets a version of the 660 twin? Or expecting that to happen?

someone on Wild said it looked like Aprilia. I just hope it has more get up and go than anything they've sold before. And I hope I'm not so old to have enough get up and go before it ever hits the market. My guess is the Greenie will win on both counts.

I gotta say those pipes sounded pretty tinny on my laptop.

I had to look up Yamaha 900 Diversion on the 'net. It's a nice looking 4 cyl air cooled sport tourer. Looks like the old Seca II 600 that they used to sell over here.

The new Greenie is almost as pretty as mine. Almost.

Okla Campout, usually Columbus Day weekend. Talihina OK. Bigfoot country, Talimena Scenic Dr. I wish that Guzzi had a European Delivery Program and a bike worth getting there.

Luckily I've had my shots. I've read that Vitamin D is definite plus in regard to helping with severe symptoms and could help with resistance.

great shot Docc

as I posted above, "A Political Blues" (Little Feat with Mick Taylor). But they're all good.

Hence, getting a new sender on my EV.

I can't be certain but am pretty sure I saw George with Zappa about '75. Frank's bands were talented and very tight. There's something really pure about piano, bass and drum trio. I like trios whether they're a rock power trio or an acoustic jazz combo. Three players allow everyone to stretch their talent and each get a lead in the show and they know each other so well to be really tight at the same time. With three players, no one can hide. You gotta be good.
