I love reading Pete's posts. It's like Peter Egan writings without any political correctness!
Tell it like it is Pete! I always learn something from the guy.

Does anyone know if this cantilevered mono shock set up is available as a kit? Or is it a special fabrication?
Thanks in advance!

I just chipped in a few duckets. Heck - Ed took the time last Sunday to talk to me for 20 minutes on the phone - advising me about track bike selections. THAT is customer service! Tried to talk me out of building a Guzzi track bike - ;) - but as soon as I can find a V65 donor I'm going to do...

I've been riding my Norge to sales calls in 40 degree weather (the last two weeks) with my bulky Rincon Jacket rubbing the tank creating scratches. What's wrong with wanting to protect the tank? At least I ride it every day. It ain't no garage queen.

I saw a Norge with a Moto Guzzi Branded Tank Protector. Supposedly for a Breva.
Does any one know where I can get one?
Todd?? Have you guys got it?

I think your day on the 26th is just about undoable. I was just in Europe for business. I flew into Rome - spent the day. Traveled to Verona for the night. Then up through the Brenner Pass into Germany all the way to Ulm. The next day from Ulm to Switzerland to see the new Aluminum Manufacturing...
For what it's worth...
Mobil 1 15w50 is an SJ rated oil with hardly any zinc (only what's solubilized in the base oil mix I believe).

Disclaimer -
(yes, I'm a certified Shell Oil fluid analyst - but we do not have a 10w60 or 15w50 API SG synthetic in the states either).
I'm not...
I see where the Service Manual describes replacement of Fluid for the Transmission(final drive) and also for the Gearbox.
I have two questions (Sorry to be such a Nube):
1. Is there any fluid in the Cardan Shaft (like my old BMW has in it's shaft?) I can't find mention of that in the service...
RacerX-
I just showed that to my 16 year old Boy Crazy Teenager. She told me you were "Evil":laugh:
Very Sweet item to hold over her head.... if she gets in over her head.
Thanks buddy. I think you're an angel.

Guys-
Could someone tell me what the original cover price was (in US Dollars) on Greg Fields "Moto Guzzi Big Twins" book?
I'm looking to buy a copy and just want to make sure I don't over pay. Though it shows up on Amazon, it doesn't say what the cover price was.
Thanks in advance!
Murphy...
I want this jacket! Do I "have" to go through Twiggers in the UK - or can a local dealer order it?
There's other Guzzi stuff Twiggers has that I like too - like the Guzzi Laptop case. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
