There is ZERO tolerance on personal attacks and ANY HYPERLINKS to PRODUCT(S) or other competing website(s), including personal pages, social media or other Forums. This ALSO INCLUDES ECU DIAGnostic software, questions and mapping. We work very hard to offer commercially supported products and to keep info relevant here. First offense is a note, second is a warning, third time will get you banned from the site. We don't have the time to chase repeat (and ignorant) offenders. This is NOT a social media platform; It's an ad-free, privately funded website, in small help with user donations.

WE'RE HERE ONLINE ONLY - NO PHONE CALLS MADE OR RECEIVED - DO NOT EMAIL AND ASK QUESTIONS OR ASK TO CALL YOU.
Like the new V100, GuzziTech is full throttle into the future! We're now running on an all-new server and we've updated our Forum software.

Stelvio NTX, 2013 [36,000 miles]
Just forward of the CARC-split with the swingarm is a small fitting meant to hold the brake line that is attached to the swingarm with threads into the bottom wall of the swingarm. Evidently, the hole runs all the way through the wall of the swingarm (perhaps...
- quite rugged and well made
- waterproof
- dual zippers work well with the way the stelvio bags are hinged
- cross-over handle with a quick disconnect clip on one side
ECU rain protection is required
background:
On earlier Stelvios, the ECU is mounted with the connectors entering from above. Later (and current) Stelvios have the ECU mounted so that the connectors enter from below. The earlier system had problems associated with rain so Guzzi put out a...
I put the scheduled maintenance chart in a spreadsheet. It might save you 10 minutes of typing; here's a link:

It looks like this:
Monday morning I'd catch the train from Lecco to Mandello del Lario.
This is almost routine. Unpack both yellow duffle bags I've been carrying,
and repack into the smaller. I'd be wearing the riding suit, boots and
helmet, so the one bag was more than sufficient.
Other than the general...
Being a highly edited version.
It's Monday morning, and time to start riding.
I had no intention of staying on the Autostrada more than needed, and as soon as I could I turned south. I wouldn't be on any toll highway for the rest of the trip.This is a fairly easy pass. It'd be even easier if I...
The battle of Mine Creek was the largest civil war battle in Kansas. I had a vague Missouri ride in mind, and did in fact ride a fair amount in that state although I think the Mine Creek battlefield park ended up the true destination.
Kansas
Somewhere near the Neosho River along US-400 east...
Friend, Kansas is in Finney County, north of the Arkansas River. The town does not show on all maps (nor is it in the Garmin database), but it still exists.
The town of St. John, Kansas was named for Governor John St. John in a rather brazen attempt to win the county seat of Stafford County. It...
Several small towns in Kansas are now only known by their iconic church building; such is the case for Danville, Kansas. The brick catholic church in Danville was built in 1904 when the town seemed to promise much more than would ever be.
The county road south towards Danvile. The pavement...
Hudson, Kansas is the home of the Stafford County Flour Mills Co., which is perhaps more famous (if at all) for making Hudson Cream Flour. Hudson is also next to the Quivira National Wildlife refuge.
Kansas
Nickerson, Kansas for a late morning breakfast.
The best route to Hudson is to...
Friend, Nebraska is southwest of Lincoln. Other than the interesting name, there was no particular reason to ride there.

It's often helpful to pre-stage a Sunday ride by putting down a few miles Saturday evening. This is Salina, Kansas.
I had dinner at the local truck...
This would be a looping trip north from Italy to the Czech Republic, then east and then south to Croatia before returning.
spending two nights in Como to get aclimated to the timezone shift.

Bernina Pass and a perfect...
