    More Motus

    I attended the Motus intro of their MST-01 in Birmingham earlier this month as I had placed a deposit on the higher-spec MST-R version. A bunch of great people are involved in the project. That being said I was disappointed in what I saw. The motorbike looks better in photos then in real...

    Penske Shock Set Up

    John - As Todd depicts in the photo, there is a tool for the 'preload' adjustment. This can be done quite easily by reaching in above the rear tire and rotating the ring at the top of the shock. It's a slow process as you move the collar a quarter turn at a time. I put a little dab of red...

    Penske Shock Set Up

    I now have been about a 1,000 miles on my Penske Model 8983 (Compression + Rebound). It is probably the single biggest improvement made to my '08 1200 Sport. Living in Colorado 90% of my riding is in the mountains and canyons - the sides of the tires wear thin a lot sooner then the center...

    Returning to Guzzi Land

    I dropped off the Guzzi Forum since I moved last winter from Long Beach to Boulder, Colorado. My 1200 Sport sat idle in the garage all winter and to be frank I haven't done a lot of riding since moving. There are miles and miles of awesome roads in my immediate area but the problem has been...

    Penske Shock Install

    I received my Penske shock a few days ago, directly from Penske, via Todd @ GuzziTech. Removing the OEM Sachs was straight forward; mounting the new Penske was a bit more time consuming. Threading the bottom mounting bolt was frustrating. The Penske shock came with these 'spool pieces' that...

    Hello - Colorado Rider

    Hello Graham - I'm the guy Todd mentioned in the above post. I relocated from souhern California to Boulder a bit over three-months ago. I'm anxious to explore the state once the weather turns a little warmer. Right now it is short rides only. My 1200 Sport is a 2008 with 18k miles - I do...

    New To Colorado

    My wife and I recently made out exoduc from southern California to Boulder, Colorado. I located a great independant Ducati shop in Boulder, "Boulder Motorsports," but haven't had any luck finding a place that will work on my 1200 Sport. The closest dealers (not close) are either in Denver or...

    (more) EICMA news

    Moto Guzzi is spending money on 'concepts.' It has to be a positive sign that they are serious. There are pieces from each of these concepts that I appreciate, especially the red one. I like the shape of the fuel tank and seat, the exhaust, sump, Ohlins forks and radial brakes. I would love...

    Griso TV Star

    I'm a fan of the Friday night TV drama 'Numbers.' One of the main characters in the show, FBI agent Dony Epes, in the latest episode got himself a new toy- a black Griso. Hopefully we will see more of the Guzzi in coming weeks.

    GTM Fueling Info

    I have an '08 1200 Sport with about 16k miles on the clock. Todd recently completed a re-flash of the bikes ECU and installed a PC-V + Autotune, and the CNC machined airbox lid. The motorbike has always performed well, albeit with the well documented chronic popping through the exhaust on...

    Dunlop Road Smart whine...?

    I have about 3k miles on my Dunlop Road Smarts - this is on a '08 1200 Sport. I don't detect any whine or other noises - but my wife tells me I don't hear very well (sic). I like these tires. I honestly believe that they could be used (by most) at 'track-days' with confidence - and they are...

    Fat Duc for the Griso 8V

    After reading DW's post I sent off for a Fat Duc for my '08 1200 Sport. 80-bucks, plus 7 for shipping, and three days later it arrived. It took all of about 10-minutes to install. I started with a setting half way between full rich and full lean. As soon as I pulled out of the drive I...

    Any experience or opinions on Pazzo levers?

    These levers are from Daes Mototec. They have a completely different feel then the oEM levers because they are square-edged and fatter. I like the feel and the looks. The machining is excellent and the adjustment for 'span' works well. They come in a silver and titanium finish as well as the...

    New Dealer In Long Beach

    New Dealer In Long Beach

    I stopped by Vespa of Long Beach. They are located right downtown on Long Beach Boulevard. It is on a corner lot with good parking and a large store front. Immediately you understand that the prime reason for this dealership is scooter sales. The large picture window is dominated by scooters...

    European Trip, How far is too far?

    Stelvio Obsessed - Your Holiday (?) does not sound like fun; more like an 'endiurance contest.' Too many miles and too few days. I have traveled most of the destinations you have listed, on motorbike and with an automobile, and I would only consider doing about 1/3rd of your planned trip in...

    If you ride alone, desolate places...

    I have been using my 'Spot' for about 6-months. I paid 150 USD for it and got a 50-dollar rebate. The service is 99 bucks a year. The only negetive I see is that you have to be conscious to use it. If you hit a tree and knock yourself cold you are SOL. The fact that it will cover up to...
