Sounds like a winner!  Put me on the list.  Need to get out.  Tired of all the wind and rain!

Going to try to have my 1972 Honda Cb 750 chopper running correctly/better for this lunch meetup!  Woo hoo hoping for good weather!

I'm going to make a multi day ride out of this.  Maybe camping trip depending on weather.

I am planning on being there. I'll be staying at TWO Wheels campground with my other bike's group.

Il be in my truck on next Saturday for lunch.  Guzzi needs fluids changed and I won’t have time to get to it until after Saturday.  Hope to see quite a few of you at lunch!

He's got a point, Bob.  I don't think the 20 or so miles from Cleveland to the Ocoee Dam Deli and back will make any difference to the engine using the existing fluids.  :rolleyes:  Moto Guzzis are not THAT fragile!
Look at it this way:  When you ride back home from the Deli, the fluids will be nice and warm, ready to drain.

I work out of state all week and don’t get back home until late Friday night.  Il ride it over to lunch and change the fluids after.  Thanks Mike

Weather Channel says, "Partly Cloudy and 20% chance of rain" AccuWeather says "Scattered Thunderstorms and 80% chance of rain"   :tongue:  Could two forecasts  be any more divergent?  Gezzzzz.

My weather app says mostly sunny, 75-80 for a high.  I’m going with that one!  Lol

Once the hail quit last night we got 1 1/4" of rain. But it's moving off and looks to be a fine day.

 Roads will be damp in spots, but rain is moving off to the east.  Yes, getting ready to head out in about an hour.

I made it through the whole afternoon dry after about six rain drops on the way over. When I got home 220 miles round trip about 4:30 I didn't even get my helmet off in the garage and the sky opened up. Perfect day, eating place, ride, and friends!
Thanks Bob. FYI, nice V85 you found.

That ST1300 had over 100,000 miles on it...and no cruise control!!  That's a lot of throttle twisting.  :bow:

Post by: ridingron on April 29, 2025, 01:00:59 PM
Yes.

The Honda ST1100 and the follow-up newer ST1300 were designed for Sport Touring. Smooth riding for Touring and Sporty handling for the hills and curves.

Motormike:  I changed oil, transmission fluid and rear end fluid on the V85TT Adventure today.  Who in the heck designed the placement/location of the transmission drain bolt?  Geeezzzzz

The job can be done but yes you're right. The bike probably needs to be stone cold when putting the plug back in place. Unless you dropped the exhaust.

If you change the pipes out, it becomes 1000% easier! Hardly justifies the expense, but .... .
