    Oh No - Not Tires

    -Stez How the heck do you 30k out of a metzler 888 on a Rocket 3 rear tyre ? On my California Custom I get around 3.75 k on a rear Metzler 888 200/60 R16 M/C 79V The front Metzler 888 130/70 R 18 M/C 63H has about 10k, looks like it will be good for another 4k. I really like how the Cali...

    I got BANNED yesterday! 😆

    Pete. Did that chain wielding biker quit smashing car windows before or after the good citizens living on Skyline Boulevard started "Spilling" oil on the twisty bits ? I quit riding Skyline soon after I heard about the oil spills. Right around when we moved to San Jose. Mapped out several less...

    Whats the coolest bike you have test rode?

    <<<--- Love at first sight. Within minutes of walking into a West Sussex M/C dealership I was trading in a 1978 Triumph Bonneville for the 1st 850 Lemans mk II I ever laid eye's on. It was so much fun to tussle with Kawasaki Z1's on the A23. Especially on the stretch between the M23 & Tilgate...

    Moto Guzzi V100 Le Mans Concept by Oberdan Bezzi

    _Jason. IMO there seems to be one or two styling cues reminiscent of earlier Lemans models. My first thought, when I saw the red and black paintwork, was FINALLY a new Lemans. That was before my son pointed out the 3 black strips on the front of the tanks that cliched it for me. The decal on...

    User Code - Programming Procedure Help (again)

    I don't think the User Code and The Keys are related. Page 22: The instrument panel has an immobilizer which prevents start-up in case the system does not identify a key which has been programmed before. The vehicle is supplied with two keys already programmed. The instrument panel accepts a...

    User Code - Programming Procedure Help (again)

    I checked the Owners Manual. There are 3 references to "User Code' Page 29: SERVICE ALARM In case of failure found in the instrument panel or in the electronic control unit, the instrument panel signals the failure by displaying the word SERVICE and the red general warning light turns on...

    Be kind to your mechanic please...

    I "tipped" a vintage Guzzi specialist a battery. The vintage Guzzi specialist went through all systems on my 78 Lemans, aka Miss Raspberry, to get it N. GA mountain twisty ready. Miss raspberry had been on a 15 year hiatus and needed expert attention, and tlc. I heard from said specialist...

    About to buy a 2014 Custom

    Hi John I traded in a 2008 Harley-Davidson superglide and a 11K USD check for the local dealers heavily discounted - 2014 Custom show room bike in 2016. I can say, without reservations, the 2014 Custom is the best riding bike I own. Even better than my previous best. the HD I traded in.

    Guzzis @ Norton Motorcycles

    My son and I replaced the wheel bearings, on the '96 Sport 1100 (carbi) project bike. Three were still good. The one that wasn't failed because a prior owner forgot to install the inner spacer when they transferred the "sprocket" from the stock wheels to the Dymags.

    Guzzis @ Norton Motorcycles

    I'm in 2 minds about whether thats good news or not so good news. I'm far from impressed with the Performance of the Royal Enfields being sold in the USA. As an Ex-Pat Brit with a 80 mile round trip to work on motorways and narrow, twisty country roads, my favorite daily riders were Nortons...
