My son has a house near Martin/Lavonia, but it seems I'm never there when something's planned. I always check when I'm going up.

Rotella would be fine and normally a good price. Mobil 1 should be good as well if that's your preferred brand.

Bike gets Syn Rotella or Valvoline. 2014 F100 gets Mobil 1 for trucks rather than cars (probably the same stuff in a different bottle at the same price), but normal zinc levels due to Cats.

Yeah, that's the thing about Mobil 1 5w40 for Diesel Trucks.  High-ish levels of ZDDP (zinc).  Not as much as the grey cap 20w50 or the V-Twin 20w50, but those two are too heavy for the hydro engines.

I appreciate your doing them. If reasonably close and I'm in town, and assuming 1/2 decent weather, I'll come.

Getting close to pulling the trigger. Anyone in the USA use an V7-850 for touring?

Got it working on a Windows laptop in the end.
Now am trying to figure out how to balance my TB on a Norge as the screws are not as accessible as other models.

..run the new Linux file - you might need to do "chmod +x filename" to make it executable.
Alternatively, the File Manager should allow you to change permissions to make it executable.
I forget and do this stuff without thinking, from the command prompt (shell) usually.

Presumably you now have GuzziDiag working?

Quick note to anyone trying to run the new Linux file - you might need to do "chmod +x filename" to make it executable.

My first Guzzi purchase (a 2003 V11 Le Mans) involved a 1700+ mile fly n ride from Florida back to the Toronto area, where I lived at the time.  Other than the seller, who was a great guy, the first person in the Guzzi community that I met was none other than Guzzi Steve, who was then wrenching at Rider's Hill, in GA.  What a great first impression he made, and that hasn't changed over the years.  So, here I still am, 15 years later, having just purchased my 10th Moto Guzzi, and still enjoying the best community of riders that I have ever encountered.

Enjoy the ride!

Cheers,
Shaun

Thank you! I have read articles of Lurch from the time it was built and raced, but this gave plenty of new information  :thumb:

I almost bought a new TR1 in 1983, but being young and less sensible, I bought a Seca 750 instead. They carried the same price tag.
