    This and That about nothin' in particular... V7III Racer

    A few weeks back, on a bicycle ride, I and a couple of my moto friends ran into a young man riding a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 ("red arrow" or something like that, in Swedish). Pretty bike, essentially a Huskie branded KTM now that KTM owns Husqvarna. Anyway, it turned out that he was a designer...

    It Had Been Some Time ...

    I was riding so little last year that by the end of Summer I was done. I decided to sell Racer and posted an advertisement. But it was too late in the season, there were no real responses, to the advertisement, and I just signed it off as saying, "It'll sell in the Spring" and left Racer snug...

    V7III Racer - Speedometer Check

    Reading this thread for a bit, it occurred to me that I'd done a quickie check of Racer's speedo accuracy when I first bought the bike using my bicycle GPS computer (Garmin Edge 25) but hadn't really looked at it since doing the Kinesis wheels and Conti RA3 tires. So I fitted the Garmin to the...

    The joy of having the right tool

    So.. I've just returned home after two months away, essentially, and Racer's battery was too flat to light the instrument panel. Yeah, even high tech LiIon batteries go flat without maintenance. So I pulled out the expensive Optimate LiBattery charger, pulled the battery out of the bike, and...

    Carbon!

    When I was at the dealership last Thursday, I saw they've gotten in the new Carbon Dark model as well as the new Carbon Shine versions of the V7III. I like the red valve covers on the Carbon Dark, and the carbon side covers and fenders. "Oh yeah, those valve covers, side covers, and fenders...

    The Upgrade Run ...

    I'll add the ride report in a little while, but I caught this photo of Racer and the countryside when I stopped for a rest off of 101 at San Juan Bautista ... The little beast just works so freekin' well now! onwards, G

    Brake levers for V7III ??

    I've gotten so used to the two-finger brake levers on my bicycle that I've occasionally trapped my other fingers under the V7III Racer's brake lever. I've trained myself not to do that, but even with the stock brakes on Racer, I can bring the brakes to the point of the ABS system kicking in even...

    "Small Luggage Rack" compatibility with V7III Racer

    Does anyone know if the Small Luggage Rack (pn 2S000256) from the Moto Guzzi Accessories 2017 catalog is compatible with the V7 III Racer (assuming that you've removed the stock seat and replaced it with a dual seat)? Preparing for some traveling this Spring and Summer: I've been test fitting...

    Battery dead again .... V7III

    Racer's been starting just fine since I charged the battery up on Jan 28, did so just last evening. But this morning when I went to go for a ride, the battery was dead again. Hmm. Hooked up the Battery Tender, it didn't find any faults, and is charging it back up now. But a four month old...

    minor cosmetic mods ... V7III Racer

    Because I am that kid who could never refrain from trying to hop up a watch—and have never owned an entirely stock motorcycle in my life—I went down to the garage this weekend to continue the slow, quiet customization of Racer to express my (and his) unique personality. Um, well, eccentric...

    A Ride Up, A Ride Down

    {Okay, smooth. No freak outs. No mistakes. Use the throttle, use the throttle, hands off the brakes. You want to be THERE, turn HERE NOW, let the corner carry you throught, AGAIN, AGAIN... Ah, that's it. Just keep ready. Touch the rear brake, power up. SMooth, smoother, ah again, shift up, roll...

    Non-ride report: a flat battery

    Racer's been covered and waiting for my return since Dec 19 ... I was off on my holiday trip for two weeks, then suffered through a cold and pneumonia for two weeks plus once I returned home. Yesterday was warm, I'm feeling great: I head down to the garage, take the cover off, turn the...

    Happy Holidays 2017!

    I'm off for a holiday trip from today through January 4th, so ... Last motorcycle ride of 2017 was yesterday too, Racer is up to 1233 miles. Life is great! :D Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Felicitations & Greetings—and best wishes for the New Year! Be well, see you in 2018! G — No...

    Racer gets a voice ...

    A box showed upon the doorstep last evening: the Agostini mufflers I ordered from GT have arrived! I opened the box to check them ... omg, they're beautiful! I can almost believe that both of them together will weigh less than one of the OEM mufflers. I've sent my request for both maps in to...

    V7III ... Pinned handlebar controls?

    I'm getting a little bit of interference between the throttle and the bar-end replacements (the ones that have a channel cut for the CRG bar end mirrors). I think the grip is just a hair long and gently gets forced into the weight by pressure when I'm riding. So ... I can solve this by sliding...

    The Miles are adding up... Three weeks in!

    It's hard to believe that the V7III Racer has been in my hands just three weeks. Three weeks of extreme busyness as well. But it's true, and I'm already up to 650 miles on it. Coming home from dinner last evening on the freeway, after wiggling through a ton of surface streets to get to the...
