My mate has one of those on his Guzzi, I don't like it. For me it was perfectly doable as is, but the cruise control will make it even better. And not just trips like this. I find the cruise control on the Triumph very handy.

All in one day, went fine actually. Left the house at 5:40 AM, did about 200km of motorway, ~450km of twisties, and then another 200km motorway to get home at 20:30. We stopped a few times for drinks and food, and having bluetooth headsets connected and talking crap with a mate all day makes it...

Daytrip to the Eifel in Germany today: My buddy rides a Moto Guzzi V7, lovely bike, a lot of fun to ride. Had a lovely day with excellent weather.

The tank cover is two halves, but if you want to reroute cables, you probably want to remove the entire tank, not just the covers. And you can remove the whole thing with the covers still on the tank. There's two bolts in the back, under the seat, and 1 bolt in the front under the black trim...

Why do you want it removed? You can remove the tank assembly without removing that panel. You only need to remove the seat and the black trim panel on the front to uncover the bolts.

The bit between the tank and the seat? That is held in place with a couple screws I think. The black plastic bit on the front of the tank, behind the stem, that's clicked in place, and I find it a pain to remove. Needs quite a bit of force.

There's 4 in the front and 2 under the indicators, and the two pieces sort of click together, so they need some persuasion to separate.

I've replaced my throttle for other reasons, but still have regular can abs failure messages 🤷🏻‍♂️

Swapped the grey subframe for a yellow one:

Not steel, but I am using this on my Vit701...

These are the: SE07BB0258 I just looked for sintered pads that were available within a few days. So have not really looked into different compounds. Did about 150km this morning, they work fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Replaced the rear brake pads:

Scrubbed in the new tyre this morning:

I ride like a granny I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Depends on the tyre as well. These have done very good wear wise. I got about 6-8k km out of Bridgestone S22's and Michelin Power 5. The asphalt might be more coarse in your area compared to where I am. Tyre pressure plays a role as well. I usually have...

Starter appears to be oiltight after a new o-ring and a 65km test ride. Changed the rear tyre and gave it wash. Did a little over 10k km with that rear. Before wash: After:

It is money, parallel twins are cheaper to build, only one cylinder head, one set of camshafts, one camchain etc. They are usually lighter than a v-twin as well. And with the 285° crank or 270° what most other manufacturers use, they give the same feel as a v-twin. It's just ridiculous that...

Went for a ride this morning, bike felt strange, I thought maybe tyre pressure, the tyre is pretty worn as well, maybe rear shock due a service, stopped to have a look around the bike and was greeted by quite a bit of oil on the rear of the engine, and a thankfully just a little bit on the rear...

It's a one of a kind event! Visited the TT in 2015 and the ManxGP in 2022. Will be going back to the TT someday. The TT+ livepass is the best €25 you can spend. The live coverage is awesome! Husky overlooking Douglas: And some racing at Braddan Bridge:
