What did you do with your GRiSO today?

The discs Pete was referring to came from S3Performance, Melbourne if I remember correctly, couldnt fault them.

Tony,
I got a disc for the V7 from M Factory (thought it was in Vic, but likely China), sort of wavy, $102.28 delivered. About a third of the next best price.. Found them on eBay - worth checking out. It's been fine so far, but only 13,000km.

That looks the duck's nuts, Mal.

All things to consider, thanks for everyone's responses. Considering lots of options.

(although she's not ready for new discs, we're quietly watching from the side...)

love the wave.

That's the spirit!

Busy, Mark - Awesome.

Don Abbondio Posts : 6080 Join date : 2014-03-13 Age : 69

I believe I have some disks sorted - just need to do the exchange - both parties happy!

Not new Pat, but I get em while I can.

My bobbins went west on one of my disks, to the extent that the bobbins are chewing away at the carrier - probably as a result of too much "freeing" of said bobbins some years back to get rid of the "warp", which never was.

Forgive me Brothers, for I have sinned.
I have not ridden my Guzzi for 31 days now.
I have looked at pictures of other marques, and whilst not lusting after them, I have admired their lines.
I have no excuse...

I await my penance. Shocked

Tell me, my son, were these "other marques" Japanese ?

ohh the shame the shame..... yes Brother Gregg, one of them was, but it was a 1981 Katana 1000S with wire wheels...

You will be forgiven Pat.
You have restrained your inner temptations and we will greet you back to the fold with a traditional celebration of black beers & goat leggings.

Btw, after the rainy spaghetti I’ve traded in my rabbit hole tent for the same fabric mansion you use. No more crouching in the rain, half in, half out, of my sleeping quarters.

I've got a 1 car garage that is packed with tools, shelves and 3 Guzzi's... (I know life sucks) I have to stack 2 bikes side by side, and while squeezing between the GRiSO and Norge, my knee caught a turn signal and broke it..... Ordered one from AF1 (love the microfiche part ordering) and swapped it out. Quite an ordeal, removed seat, top of airbox, dropped the rear fender and separated it, got it all buttoned back up and was about to go for a ride because well, you gotta test these things out, and SWMBO, updated the 'list' sigh.............

Life is tough sometimes, but only the strong survive.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 1471 Join date : 2015-01-04 Age : 63

It's a lot quicker and easier if you just keep the original wiring & change the indicator body/innards - one screw, careful prodding & just plug the two spade connections inside......you'd be out riding before SHWBO realises

Don't let SWMBO see that photo, she might add "complete the painting of the garage ceiling" to the list.

Lotta good that does me.... LoL noted for the future.

Today I installed the replacement clutch fluid reservoir and bled the clutch.

Yesterday I removed the smashed fairing.

Last week, I removed the luggage racks, snugged up the zorst, installed new footpegs and got the rearsets functional.

On jobbie at a time due to gammy leg.

The GRiSO could be ridden now, if not for the flat battery.

I'm not sure if even the Aussie vernacular has a word that means more frequently than frequently... Razz

sigh...

Pat go for a ride, and leave people alone

Yesterday I rode up to Sydney to visit Michael. That was a waste of a good tyre!

GRiSO Capo Posts : 958 Join date : 2014-01-08 Age : 68

What's the news on Michael, Pete?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10047 Join date : 2013-09-30

Battery. Dead. 0.3V. Sad face.

Internet. Google. Credit card.

Frowny face. Sigh. Expensive. Buy.

Wait.
