    To buy or not to buy

    Go with what you like but, I think it's been scientifically proven that the red one is the fastest. I have things I don't like about mine, but maybe it's a case of too high expectations. Sure is purdy though.

    Record Sales for MG

    I'll second that.

    Hey! Another member of the Bandit and Guzzi club. Watch out when you switch from one to the other as the horn and turn signals are backwards.

    Clutch physics

    That looks downright automotive.

    Clutch physics

    What about different clutch springs? Or do they even have springs? That was a fix for clutch effort in my Bandit.

    2010 Griso newbie...

    It had sat for about 3 weeks. The fuel light came on less than 5 miles before I got gas. I hadn't thought about initial set up. It hadn't given me any problems in the limited mileage I've got on it. If it makes you feel better I went on vacation to Wyoming in February. Not exactly laying out...

    2010 Griso newbie...

    So I went for a ride after coming home from vacation. I rode 20 miles up the freeway at about 70 mph. I stopped and filled it up with super and it lost idle. Bike would start and rev fine, but wouldn't idle. I got to my destination by using a manual idle (hold throttle open). I spent 30 minutes...

    Good news for Guzzi/Aprilia.

    My dealer mainly sells Ducatis. He had 2 Guzzis and 3 Aprillas on the lot when I bought mine. I don't know how good they are for repairs, but he changed out my tank because the Griso sticker was loose. Did it without my asking even. For those of you counting at home that's a $1500 tank and...

    When outside air temp is 36 degrees

    Nuts! Now I gotta go ride in the freezing cold to check it out. Maybe I can just go turn the key on next time it freezes. Personally I like the feature. Shady curves and bridges like to ice up.

    More on the Cali Proto

    LOL. That is a nifty speedo though.

    Guzzi engine is derived from a Tractor

    Dr. John? I recall reading about him in the 80's in some motorcycle mag. I always thought it was weird that a dentist would be heading up a race team.

    Hands Up Who Has Run Out of Fuel

    The west is tough like that. I was coming down I 5 in the general vicinity of Bakersfield one night. I knew gas stations on the freeway were few and far between. It was late at night too, several were closed. I ended up getting gas at every open station. Put like 30 cents on it one time.

    Gutsi or Guzzi?

    I knew it was a Gree so. My girlfriend in Italy pronounced my name with a long i. I had no idea it is a Goot zie. I'd been calling them Goo zie since I was a teenager.

    That is sweet! Nice job dude.

    Hands Up Who Has Run Out of Fuel

    So this one time... I let my buddy ride my Honda. He ran it down into reserve and didn't tell me. I was riding it home and ran out of gas, flipped to reserve, no joy. Back then I was still a squid and was riding in uniform (a no no) and pretty close to base. No cell phone back then. So there I...

    Do I own a real Guzzi

    An exposed flywheel? Really? What model was that on? That sounds incredibly dangerous.

    Engine stand / jack

    Maybe a transmission jack? http://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-cap ... -3185.html I actually thought about getting one to use as a maintenance stand
