  1. I like many things about the new V100, and glad Guzzi is producing a sport touring bike. That said, and coincidentally, Triumph just released their new Speed Triple. All things considered, it's hard not to lean towards this option between the two. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  2. I didn't see anyone had posted this V100 Mandello release video yet, apologies if it's a repeat - I just received it this evening: Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  3. ...for my '03 Le Mans. New or used. I live in Philadelphia area. Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  4. The 2017 Ducati Supersport S I bought last year came with Pirelli Angel GT2 tires with only 600 miles on them. I went on a 1600 mile tour in West Virginia and Kentucky (mostly twisty roads). I was pretty shocked to see the high amount of scalloping that had developed by day 2. Mind you, I checked my tire pressure every morning (34 front / 37 rear). By the end of the trip they were squared off and scalloped - basically done after less than 2500 miles. Grip is great in hot weather, but falls off significantly below 50°F. Never again will I buy Pirelli for sport touring (although they make great tires for the track). My V11 LeMans (and VFR800 before that) have Dunlop Roadsmart 3s, and I couldn't be happier with them. The dual compound offers great corner grip, and excellent even wear and durability. A+ in my book. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  5. Yes, it's on a rear stand. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  6. Mine is the same 64mm (2.5") Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  7. Just a straight tip Docc Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  8. I was able to get a standard grease gun fitting on the front nipple on my '03 Le Mans. Was not able to bend the hose successfully through the obvious direct path, but when I routed it through a crevice over the top it was easier. I had to use a pair of pliers to push it down onto the nipple once aligned. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  9. Gotta love R.L. Burnside - a true original old school Blues artist. And that's his grandson on the drums! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  10. Andy, did you ever get the chance to take a better photo to share? Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  11. Had the fortunate opportunity to see the Orrin Evans Quartet this evening at Chris's Jazz Club in Philadelphia. Do not miss them should you have the chance! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  12. Awesome Doc. If that video isn't proof that music is universal, don't know what is. Just love those guys Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  13. Finished the Mistral headers and crossovers install (already had the carbon slip-ons). Was a bit more involved than expected, but not too bad. Had to destroy the stock headers to remove the flanges [emoji3525], so one less OEM part available for those in need. But I have the stock cross-overs if anyone is interested. I was surprised with how much it changed the sound. Sounded good before, but magnificent now! [emoji854] Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  14. But this was a surprise. The header flange is installed before welding the pipe together. Need to cut the pipe to remove it. One would think MG Cycle would mention this and suggest purchasing an extra pair. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  15. Doh! Nevermind. It was coming loose but not rising up and out. Need to pry apart. Sorry for the false alarm. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  16. Ok, so both the top and bottom bolt here turn counterclockwise independently, but go nowhere. Trying to remove crossover to swap for Mistrals. Did this on my Scura a few years ago and don't recall this one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  17. Ok so here's the big surprise with Wanton Bishops. To me they sound as authentic American swamp blues as it gets. But turns out they're born and raised in Lebanon! Who would have guessed that?! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  18. This group is my best discovery in recent years - The Wanton Bishops. Please give a listen: Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  19. Wow, Samantha Fish is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  20. Did a compression test today (warm engine, wot) on my '03 Le Mans 15.5k miles. Looks like I'm a lucky guy: 158 and 160 psi. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  21. Well stated foogoose! Best comment of my week. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  22. Dang must have been amazing! He left us way too soon. Didn't get to see him.
  23. Have to say, Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Voodoo Chile is one of the few examples better than Hendrix' original.
  24. I can also attest for Seal Mate. Fixed fork leaks on my VFR and Monster S4R in the past 3 years. Seems to be true that most fork leaks are caused by small debris that gets up in your seal. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  25. Great stuff. Now I have to throw down some Stevie Ray Vaughan! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
