Hi all of my old riding friends. Been without a sport tourer for a few months. Got this multi a couple of weeks ago, having ordered it in November. Sound familiar? Couple of thousand miles on it now and it is living up to the reviews. Hope to see you out there somewhere some time. Richard...

In another thread we discussed some of the aspects of riding the AE. I figured it might be a good idea to list some of the things that may help fellow AE riders. Add your comments as I know you will! 1. If you are in the twisties use the back brake to adjust speed of entry into the corner...

I rode the unrestricted version of one of these the other day. The seat sux but the performance is simply incredible! Aprilia SXV 550

if the pricing for a new 06 AE being bandied about in the forum is real, they are a hell of a deal. The AE is a great motorcycle anyway but if you can pick up an AE for almost $5000 below list then i would say go for it. The bike comes with a lot more than the 06A. YCCS - yes you can come to...

The Tiger is a tall bike not as tall as the old one but big just the same. It has soft compliant suspension and large brakes that should stop it as well as they do the S3. Ice was on the road and the bike was fresh out of the crate so no riding. I did notice that the bike is easily moved from...

This is a cool bike for a thumper. Just rode it from NC to TX last week. Handles like a dream fast enough to get into trouble and light as a feather. There is a rumour MZ is returning to the US but not with this bike as the new 660 are injected and will not fit in the Tour frame.

Dam I hate it, now I gotta find something else to whine about!!! i am a happy camper at least for a little while :rolleyes: Here is what I did in order of effectiveness Tightened up throttle play. This essentially made the problem happen earlier! Adjusted the idle up. Didn't seem to do...

Click Got this off the Guzzi board. It is quite long. I meant be vigilAnt - can't spell - sorry! I guess I should add that this is a dramatization.

Apparently the throttle abruptness on the 06s is caused by fuel shutdown on trailing throttle and an abrupt restoration of flow to the injectors on throttle opening. This causes a switch like addition of the fuel supply and causes the infamous herky jerkyness. This is especially noticable on an...

The tris can hit 40 kts and the volvo boats are very fast too as you can see! Crew always sleep feet forward in case the boat stuffs a wave at 30 kts. Bit like a train wreck. Sailing

An article in cycleworld regarding the FZ1 recommends a cobra piggy back computer to be added to cure the trailing to on throttle abruptness prevalent on the FZ1. Sound familiar? Apparently the fuel maps are similar on the FJR and FZ1. When you go into a trailing throttle mode all fuel is cut...

I have got my Cee bailey. Not sure how to get the protective cover off on the exterior of the shield to get to the screws. Looks like it might pop up but don't want to FIU. Anyone done this on an 06 yet?

Here is a spy shot of the Duc SM.

I love trumpets having owned 5 in as many years. New Tiger

Went over to Eurosport Cycle in Fort Worth to pick up my MG V11 CS from service and there on the floor was this bike Prilla This bike is 236 puonds with about 70 HP. It is built like a swiss watch. It has to be the best 1 hour (ride duration) bike out there! They were demoing a 450 dirt...

I rode up the tail of the Dragon from Robbinsville to Rockwall TX on Friday, Mileage about 800. Actually got blisters from AE throttle! Anyway sad to report that I had just heard my friend D's daughter's husband was badly injured riding his Yamaha cruiser. Think what happened - he was running...
