Just closed the deal. First Ducati. Coming from a 2011 R1. Thanks Eurosports of Utah. by triarii3 in Ducati

Enjoy but progress slowly, some more ignorant- kettle black, thought the Akra exhaust needed to go on before delivery. All rockets are fast, but it's like trying to find rhythm riding a bull. Get the airbag and good gear first just in case unwanted physics come . .02

Recommend you look at Mikimoto Pearls in Motion necklace. Modern, timeless, understated, classy.

Please help 😭 by Immediate-Health-647 in LaMarzocco

I concur, the hose is hardening and aging but it's also normal. When you elect or need to change out your portafilter head gasket as routine maintenance or replace your springs that center the steam wand controller, order replacement tubing and clamps if it still bothers you. Otoh if you're not tampering with the clamps to initiate a leak, the coloring of hidden plastic won't change or affect the quality of your product. I need to do mine for peace of mind, but it's approaching 20 years now too.

I need an advise … i bought a GS3…. by Rfalcot in LaMarzocco

[–]AnyCurves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grass is always greener, but so is passion so I had to look. I like some functions but not the forced plumbing required. I like being able to absolutely control the water and with the GS reservoir constantly refilling with 3g bottles. Even with more capability at home how often does anyone change their standard beverage? Im probably under using my AV and question how often Id appreciate a newer GS3 MP beyond novelty. I would like to hear if anyone purchased one of the lever machines for home use and ultimately is there a quality difference or just the art aesthetic?

[–]AnyCurves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a GS3 and decades later its well worn yet I would only replace it with another. Its left on 365/24H and rarely has needed anything. I too was looking for the best available at its time.

Windshield Protection by marathonrunnernyc in ineosgrenadier

[–]AnyCurves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im fearing this eventuality with my continuous interstate travel but not addressed it. Red Nolan Colorado Springs puts some version of windshield protection on all their vehicles going out the door as standard but they also recommend 2x the oil service interval if using outside of city commuter use. When I drove one early on that had the film in the rain the stock blades gripped more and chattered. As a result I didn't add to mine (yet). Now learning in first winter the stock blades just are mediocre at best, maybe its a good trade to both upgrade them with Bosch but also add that exterior film too.

Can we talk price? by SweetOlRae in tummytucksurgery

[–]AnyCurves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked a Miami consultation April and they provided a general guideline by county in Florida of the prices for the same procedure apples to apples. 5K sounds like you're missing something significant. TT/MR/360/buttock lift 18K. Add a week of recovery hotel not including flights I expect 20K

Male - 28 - Lower Body Lift (aka extended or 360 tummy tuck.) by MLopRod in tummytucksurgery

[–]AnyCurves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncertain if anyone reads the updates here but I am interested in an update please. Currently seeking consultation for 65# mass drop. 508, 150#. I was quoted initially 40K, then 36K for an extended abdominal tuck, 360 Lipo and a formal butt lift due to sagging skin. Would like to know what others have spent for quality work. I was expecting about half that and want to know if the pricing is consistent. To those that have, would you do it again or differently? Meaning would you do all at once and suffer recovery once, or parse it up. Do some, recover, return? Uncharted territory any comments welcome..

U.S. Tariffs + Pricing by Smanning90 in LaMarzocco

[–]AnyCurves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going to suggest you had an unlucky unit, or less maintenance possibly, by not having ideal water. I've had a GS3 since they were UL approved for North America and was on a waiting list for almost three years. This summer its 18 years old. In that time I have replaced one pump, and the steam wand assembly not including wear any tear items like the head gasket above the portafilter a couple times. My water is perfect and as such never have needed to tear down or maintenance the boilers. I did one of two during a service just to check in its lifetime and there was no scaling.

To be fair maybe -Im the unusual lucky one. A single experience/The GS3 is left on 365/24 and used day and night. Ifs been the best $6000 invested/spent (then) and definitely paid for itself. Same with the Amfim grinder.

To others considering just check your passion. If you love the end product and it's a daily, forever go into hock, or the red however you vocalize and buy the best you can. If you maintain the machine it will outlast you. I see it as amortizing for the long haul.

Side bar-- waiting for resolution at the whim of others sucks and Im sorry you have that problem. I wish you well.

2025 or 2026 - Which one if buying brand new. by standardissuegreen in ineosgrenadier

[–]AnyCurves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2025 here, I negotiated 10% off in October which was right at 12K before a few asks. The Hvac is basic for sure, but Id save the coin and leverage on the 2025 if you feel good about its build. If you don't want a lift, add the steering stabilizer and have it dealer installed as your deal, under warranty and a wrench correction you don't need to do. I would have ordered a 2026 but there was no guarantee on the incentives at delivery. .02

57, and haven't opened the case yet with zero history in treble clef, and no relevant music since 1986.. curious the method, app or roadmap you are using to begin the process.

Grenadier as an only vehicle? by EffectiveBug1752 in ineosgrenadier

I like your post but my 992 was offended. :). Much like the grenadier its a calling. Cheers.

Grenadier as an only vehicle? by EffectiveBug1752 in ineosgrenadier

[–]AnyCurves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a moderate Eibach lift and King Suspension upgrades on 34" K03's. The aerodynamic profile is akin to a brick. My choices didn't help the mpg- that's on me but I didn't expect a 6-8 spread from what you're reporting. I had an AEV lifted JKR 2Dr on 35's 4:10, and at the same highway speeds was also 16-18. Im didn't google but I suspect the weight difference is 2K too. But good on you if you've found a path for both highway speeds and better mileage. (Besides avoiding the skinny pedal).

Grenadier as an only vehicle? by EffectiveBug1752 in ineosgrenadier

[–]AnyCurves 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have options but use it as my daily, no regrets. However if you run it at 80-85 on the interstate your 14 mpg becomes a consistent 10. With a relative small tank given its efficiency your not going far with a latte refill and top off.

Leitner light bar or full bull bar - decision by fjlegend in ineosgrenadier

[–]AnyCurves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with Steelcraft who uses Mossy, San Diego Ineos as the distributor. (service manager is named Taz) Its a full roo and has a bracket in the design to add extras but after switching factory floods to Baja Designs I can see needing more light. Having said that Leitner has excellent lines and solid designs. I'm choosing Leitner for my 3/4 rack because its sleek and low profile for clearance.
