General Discussion / Spring in Wisconsin

« Last post by moto on Today at 11:35:17 AM »

Tkelly sends these intimations of Spring, outside of one of his known watering holes.







1973 V7 Sport partial resto; 2023 V7 Stone with custom paint; V9 Roamer. The Stone is real stunner, and deserves another posting sometime.

Wisconsin's dreary clime is beginning to deliver, finally.

Roll 'em if you got 'em!

My general experience is "buy high, sell low."

I will let another rider I know to ride my bike. I won't ride theirs when it is offered. I don't want to screw up and be obligated to fix whatever I broke or damaged. I don't worry about mine though, everything is fixable.

I should have mentioned that I installed Todd's map in the the ECU back in 2017. 

My memory is fuzzy on the details from so long ago, but I think I added the PC3 after installing Todd's  map to address the low RPM fueling.  I also had an incorrect impression that the PC3 would auto adjust like a cars FI... I should have done more research.

So the plan:

• Adjust the throttle linkage.
• Bypass the PC3.
• Remove the PC3 based on the results of #2.

I don't know anything about a 'Beatle' map.

Between all my neighbors and coworkers, there are only two other riders. One of them is too immature to trust. The other did get a chance to ride my dr650 and I've offered him my guzzi when his bike was broke. He declined.

Nobody's exactly keen to ride my 400 pound 20 horsepower beast.

I quit selling to individuals a long time ago - it's just too much hassle for me to deal with.  The last several sales have been to motorcycle buying companies.  No, you won't get the best price because they have to make a profit too BUT you call them, they give you a price you say OK (or not) they come and pick it up and pay you.  I've sold three that way and was quite content with the price.  In one case, they offered me a price, I accepted, then they called me back and told me they were going to pay me MORE than I had already accepted.  :)

Bikeexif turned the bike down to put on their website as it's not their style of custom motorcycles. The red white and green Moto Guzzi Cafe also.

I'm not sure what their style is?
