... The constant carping about linked brakes by self appointed experts who never did a ride like these guys really would make me laugh if not for the fact that Guzzi finally gave up making them.The fact that some racers didn’t like them had no relevance to real world riding on public roads.Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting. We used to call that mag Motorcycle Maniacs here in the UK. It used to have a lot of handy articles on servicing and repairing bikes. Long since gone, but the best then (and now) was Motorcycle Sport (now Motorcycle Sport and Leisure), though it is a shadow of its former self. I'm currently ploughing through the back issues - I had a full set from 1973 at one time, though I don't buy the current version unless the content seems worth it. Today's mags are nowhere near as good as they used to be...
Since reading the Motociclismo article I've been weaning myself off of the front lever and just using the foot pedal. I find it works well, and seems less and less unnatural. The Motorcycle Mechanics riders liked it too.Moto
Interesting article. But I got pretty confused about the massive speedometer error they reported on. At first it sounds like they are blitzing across Europe at 95+ mph. But by the end of the article you reckon they were actually tootling along at a genuine 75. Which would explain the decent gas mileage and lack of speeding tickets.
When I bought this new it was a Le Mans2 and I was in my 30's ! It's morphed over the years intowhat's almost a T-3 and I've just gotten old :) . But I did put 3300km on in 4 days of riding to andfrom the Broken Arrow gathering in Idaho . Would have been impossible if it was stock ! Peter
