    YFO 2023 - Gauging interest

    I would offer up that a couple of us stayed at the Hearthstone Lodge in Idaho over the weekend and it was a motorcycle paradise. The rooms were wildly underpriced as well. I looked on their website for availability and it looks like either they are 100% booked all of next summer (which seems...

    Why online motorcycle forums (fora?) are dying, so claims this article

    I bought a Guzzi early this year and decided to join a Guzzi forum to post stuff and possibly get some help. On the first forum, the local know it all said he didn't like my bike, that I didn't know how to read an odometer, and that I couldn't possibly understand how to get a key programmed...

    Guzzi Stelvio would be on the list as well.

    I'm a little bummed out

    The timing cover gasket was redesigned at some point to add some extra leak protection where the pick up wiring passes under it. Generally this will just seep a bit, but it's worth inspecting that area.

    Washington State Mandatory Motorcycle Insurance

    Yeah, I'm just looking at all the bikes I have piled up and was wondering if one company had a good policy option to cover them all on the same plan.

    Stuck on the Road

    I would second the recommendation that you may just have a loose battery connection. Sometimes it's the connection at the other end of the wire that comes off the battery though.

    Need top end for Gen 2 - ASAP!

    I have a gen 2 head in my attic that came off a bike with 8500 miles. I bought it in case my gen 1 became a ticker, which is hasn't, so I'm willing to let it go. I would recommend taking some pictures of what's damaged on your top end. Some mistakes will damage pistons...

    Washington State Mandatory Motorcycle Insurance

    Does anybody have any recommendations for insurance if you have lots of bikes? I don't always get the most straightforward answers from Safeco when I call in.

    below 3000 rpm

    This reminds me of riding FJRWalker's bike around my neighborhood before we redid the valve timing. Everything was totally out of whack and laggy until you got the engine RPMs up, then the bike would sort of try to take off, but it was still way down on power. Do note in the FSM that the...
