I was going to sell the V9 and keep the Yamaha. Somehow, I had managed to suppress the agony I went through when restoring the made in Japan bike over the past two years. Functionally, it is better than the V9 in every respect save the brakes. And fuel consumption. But the bike does not want me as its owner, I reckon, so the V9 will stay and the Yamaha will go, most likely.

My first thought was WTF, leave it in there, risking clogged oil passages? Then I remembered it runs a dry clutch. First bike with a dry clutch I have owned in 45 years of riding.

Had that happen to me with a 98 EV. I left it in there. Eventually, the flywheel grabbed it and threw it up to break my sensor, rendering my bike broke down until I replaced that sensor. I think they've moved that sensor to a better location in the later models though.

I should be there.  Close enough I really don't have any excuse not to make it.  It would be nice if I could actually ride somewhere and BACK without getting soaked.

I got soaked at the Iowa Moto Guzzi rally!  Man did it rain!!!!
