I'm sorry this happened to you, but thank you for the post. @SageD and I checked his immediately upon seeing this and found his nicely secured :) One less thing to worry about!
maybe I would remain loyal, but the reason companies change location is almost always to save money on labour. that would likely be disqualifying for me immediately. I don't want to see a bunch of nice mandello folks out of work!
if our economic system is to justify itself, companies should...
I don't care in the slightest... I really only care that the workers are paid and treated well, and the company in question has real roots to their home and is a good corporate citizen.
That seems to describe Moto Guzzi, so I'm a fan. Maybe it describes some Chinese or Indian companies, I...
my dear nephew is quite jealous of my time when I go there to visit him for the day, but!!
my plan for this season is to do more overnighters since I've found a nice b&b in Nanaimo, and I will definitely message!
yea... I seem to remember at one point there was some discussion about which bushing was better. I believe the one that failed for me was actually a part from a Ford car. then when the Stelvio NTX came out, Guzzi came out with this improved version.

feels like a new bike now!
huh my shifting sure is clunky.... oh:
fortunately I have a vast stock of spares for this bike (b11), acquired over the years:
one brief wrestling match with a ball joint press... thing...
and, sorted. shifting is fantastic now, and on/off throttle transitions much smoother! so check...
ooh I realize I never put a pic of mine here:
I had to change a few things, not because I really wanted to but because the parts were a bit damaged. still deciding if I want to fix them or leave the bike kinda 'naked' as it is now.
I usually get my woodruff keys from mcmaster carr, they come in boxes of 50 or 100. Not sure you can buy one though, and I'm not sure you'll save any money... but it will be here the next day!
