    Test rode a BMW R18 B today

    Thought others might be interested to know how it compares to the MG 1400. I have a 2014 California Custom with hard bags and a windshield, so it it is somewhat similar to the BMW R18 B. The BMW has a very comfortable riding position, and the adaptive cruise is great. However, it vibrates badly...

    V7 850 service reset

    I am considering buying a new V7 for the little woman, but I have heard that the service indicator wrench that appears on the instrument panel can only be reset by a dealer. Since I do all of my own service, and the nearest dealer is over 300 miles away, this would be a deal breaker for me. Can...

    2020 Eldorado

    I was checking out cycle trader on the web, and noticed that a dealer in northern California has an ad for a 2020 Eldorado. I was not aware that they were still being produced. Before seeing that ad, I thought 2016 was the last year for them.

    Just funnin' a bit

    My house sits on top of a ridge, with a half mile winding gravel driveway down to the county road. I usually switch from veloce to piggy mode on the way up the driveway when coming home. Today I thought I'd have a little fun, so I turned off the traction control and left it in veloce. What a...

    Clutch noise

    2014 California Custom. My clutch makes a fairly loud groan when starting out on a hill. Doesn't want to smoothly engage either. Seems to want to grab. Doesn't act up if I am just gently pulling away from a stop on flat ground. This is not something that just developed, it has always done this...

    Switzerland exchange riders?

    I live in the state of Oregon in the United States, and am interested in traveling to Switzerland to do a motorcycle trip at some point in the future. Ideally, I would like to find someone who lives there to stay with for a few days, who also rides, and could act as an informal tour guide. I...

    Good people

    Just a little shout out to a fellow member here. I was getting a touring seat from Garwood, and he actually rode about 1,200 miles one way with the seat strapped to his bike, to deliver it! Real stand up guy. I can't say how much I appreciate it, and am anxious to take the little woman for a...

    Oregon's only MG dealer going belly up

    I don't know the reasons, or any details, but it is a real bummer. It was the closest dealer to me, even though it was 250 miles away. Now my nearest dealer is about 300 miles away, in northern California.

    USB port

    I was watching a youtube video of a review of a V9 Roamer, and they mentioned that it came from the factory with a USB port already wired in. I think the video is titled "Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer, the clean cut good guy". Got me to wondering if maybe the 1400's have the same thing, that I am not...

    Eldorado-2016 only?

    Seems that all of the Eldorado's that I have seen are 2016 models. Have none been imported since that year? Or, did Moto Guzzi stop building them altogether? Anyone heard anything about the 2019 models?

    Actual observed fuel mileage

    I took a long trip this week, and I thought I would report the mileage l got. Overall, I averaged about 45mpg. On one leg, crossing the Bonneville salt flats in a thunder storm at 82mph, with a strong head wind, I got 36mpg. On another leg, going over a high mountain pass, with about equal time...

    Boiling clutch fluid

    Yesterday, as I was going up a long grade over a high mountain pass in the Rockies just west of Denver, I pulled over to take some pictures, and my clutch wouldn't disengage. Seeing as how I am 1,300 miles from home, I was more than a little concerned. I didn't end up completely stopping because...

    Suggested tools for a trip

    I am going to be taking a 2,700 mile trip over a period of 4 days later this month. I plan on taking a pair of pliers, an adjustable wrench, a screw driver, and a few zip ties. I will also take a can of "fix a flat". Any other suggestions? I certainly don't want a bunch of tools taking up room...
