Well I'm kind of old and hairy so it's a matched set.😂

I've put about 500 miles on it now and it hasn't pissed me off yet. bleeding the brakes after cycling the ABS got more air out and now I have good rear brakes.  Played with suspension adjustments which helped a lot. To adjust the rear shock the dog bones have to be removed so I figured I would...

Just got back from the first 150 mile ride and all is well except the rear brake sucks and the locksmith says no to making a new key. It's got a chip in it and needs to be done by a dealer which doesn't seem to exist in Oregon and I'm not going back to San Jose to get it done. Just have to make...

With the Guzzi it's 10 and 2 :punk:

The problem for you OLD farts is once you achieve the horizontal somebody wants to throw  dirt in your face and plant flowers. With nice semi erect jugs it's the only Italian girlfriend I can afford to maintain 😁

Ended up doing a SS1K just to get the damn thing. 1009 miles in 20 hours in the truck but the air conditioning was great.  104 in Redding. I'm going to get the servicing up to snuff and then see how I like it. The valves are a lot easier than the FJR.

Ya sure. If it checks out OK. I haven't seen it in person yet. It's  9 hours on the road at night to get there when they open tomorrow morning. I'll be leaving here around midnight. Going to bed now.

Spirit cycles  on meridian in San jose.

Leaving tonight around midnight to be at their door when they open. Why don't you meet me there and you can buy breakfast. :punk:

According to the engine number this one should have rollers. I'll pull a valve cover to double check. I'm  not quite getting the price I was shooting for but they are putting in a new batt, new tires and installing new fork seals and brake pads. Probably picking it up Wed. I wouldn't  make it...

The sales manager called me at 9:45 last night and said he would straighten things out. Just in case I'm going to pack trailer bearings this morning.😃

Looks like I have been saved from stupid for now. The people in San Jose started talking out of both sides of their mouth and giving me two different stories so feeling a rat crawling up my ass I terminated discussions.

Already did that. My first wife left me bankrupt with two kids to pursue a career in the escort biz in Vegas. Had to marry Patti to make sure the first time wasn't my fault. It lasted 38 really good years . The Guzzi isn't a logical choice at all but seems to scratch an itch for something...

All the optimism is overwhelming.  Remember the ticker scandal with early FJR's and all the sky is falling theories or the BMW final drive problems. Anything mass produced is going to have failures. I don't care who makes it. Still waiting to see if they take my lowball offer. :punk:

True story but that's where the romance begins.😂

I figure when I die ,I'll will it to him.😁 With any luck I'll  come to my senses before I do something stupid but I've had a couple Guzzi's in past years and like the looks of the Stelvio.

After selling the FJR because it didn't suit my screwed up back anymore. I'm looking at ADV types for a more relaxed riding position and really likes the looks of the Guzzi Stelvio and it would be fun to poke fun at the rest of the brands.  It has even less dealer support than a BMW  but in most...

not sure about the 21 but my son has a 15 or 16 and loves it. Strong motor no handling complaints and pretty good ergo's. He lowered the peg a little and put adjustable bar risers on it. He is looking at seat options but that is typical of any of them.

My daughter started on dirt bikes around our acreage and her first street bike was a 03 EX500 Kawi. great little bike that can be had pretty cheap these days and are very capable. She would still have it but she stopped making the payments and I wasn't going to. tough love.

With a bullshit spiel like that, you should run for office.😂
