Just a reminder, I am headed to the Euro Raid at the Quality Inn, Harrison Ark, 30 May - 2 Jun. I'll probably be on the Ducati but this can suffice as the legacy to last year's rally and is an annual event. It caters to European bikes including Moto Guzzi. https://www.ozarkratraid.com/

I had ear plugs custom made for me at the Cycle World Show. I was reading on Wild about a DIY kit. For me, only the custom ones or foam ones work for me.

Typical Guzzi rally crowd.

Mine is similar but also has mounts for Jr bags. In fact, I've only used the bag mounts.

I suppose most of you know about Dusty's Rally in Kansas, 12-18 May? https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=98642.0

Yes, know- not knob. Thought I'd edited it. Been working on some Glenfiddich my brother gave me for my 65th BDay. First gift I can recall that he ever gave me.

Yeah, maybe it is a screw, I was in Colorado at the time.

Must've been scotch. Look for the "knob".

My 98 EV has a little knob to richen it. If I set in the Colorado it will backfire in Oklahoma.

The Racetech Gold Valves are replacements for cartridge forks while the Gold Valve Emulators are installed on conventional forks, hence "emulators".

I wonder what it is?

I've done the Racetech package (gold valves and springs )on my 1998 Suzuki Bandit. Made a big difference. It's still not as good as my Sport with stock suspension. I think the V11 fork is a little stiff was stiff on my 2001. Made huge difference just to soften it with the adjusters.

Despite what Pete sez, it'll beat the shit out any standard fare Harley (I'll admit that I haven't ridden the new Softail line). Think Harley ergos with better handling , brakes and balance and 2500 more rpms. Yeah, I've ridden some hot Harley but they shake, have no ground clearance, etc., etc. It's hard to get passed Harley ergos. I have hard time believing the 1400 won't be around in some form.

If it rattles, that means the counterweight has come loose. And just won't show RPMs. I took mine apart with a hose clamp and filed down paint can opener. It was tougher getting it back on after I got it off. I just epoxied the weight back on. If it is showing consistent but wrong readings and doesn't rattle, I'd look at electronics causes as mentioned above.

Just got back yesterday, Great time.

Saturday forecast is for rain in the morning and clearing during the day. Cooler weather. It should be clear for BBQ dinner

I've been successful once. That's when the filter backed off and lost pressure. I tried to use the manhole for my first oil change and kept cross threading it attempting to reinstall it. Subsequently, I took the pan off.

wish I'd known you a couple years ago

Motiv repaired the case on mine, that's when Don made the brace kit. He took the case to a powder coater and left in the oven for a several days. Then he did the grind and weld. I would think that a reputable shop could do it. When mine was fixed, I didn't have a choice as I couldn't find a replacement case. So far it's held up for nearly two years and I would guess 6k to 10k miles.

docc- I think $8 -12 for (shorty) beer. You can get *free* water to fill your bottle. I went to first day of first Moto GP and they took a 5 year old's PP&J. The kid was on special diet. True. You can bring anything into Barber: booze, food, contraband. I've camped there 3 times. I think they were doing drunken motorcycle jousting one night -at least I was told, I have no memory of it.

Darren and me will be in Sec 4 turn 1 grandstands. Mike in Austin is one row back. There are still T1 tickets on Vivid, I just checked- discounted. COTA pretty well sux doing tickets and hospitality. Paul, PM with cell, we'll work it out.
