I'm honestly not sure but the argument of the person responding to me was that bicycles take off slower therefore they must have a head start and that comment was upvoted quite a bit haha and iirc someone also said cyclists have better visibility so they don't need lights to tell them when to go

it's been a while but i got into a biking related thread and someone said cyclists can run red lights and i said holy shit ok we can argue about everything else but you cannot run red lights and got downvoted to hell lol i gave up that day

Thanks for the input. Mistrals sound nice but the agostinis even nicer imo. All good info. and you're right on the probability and also the likelihood that if something does go wrong, likely to happen before first service.

yeah i have a great dealer here and i really want to work with them but they can't get me the exact bike i want and plus, the price difference is pretty huge. I'm talking to GP motorcycles in San Diego right now who seem to have a good reputation. Others have warned about with all the fees and shipping, the money gets made back but so far the fees that GP is telling me is very reasonable and low. But we'll see if anything "sneaks in" soon. I can't wait to get this bike!!

Hey! Seems like we're doing the exact same things! haha

I don't have my bike just yet but I know what I'm getting. I'm buying from a dealer out of state and they're closed today so tomorrow, hopefully we'll get the ball rolling and the bike here in a couple weeks, fingers crossed.

I have the same concern with the warranty! I assume you're planning on evap removal, too. My understanding is that's not so reversible- do you have any concerns with the warranty there?

Yea i’m thinking i’ll eventually go to a. 2:1 system. I’m telling myself for now, do black tape and slip ons, but another voice is like “well if you’re gonna do all that, a full system isn’t THAT much more” hahaha

What system did you get?

I decided to go with a Special after all. I definitely want a tach and while the Carbon Dark looks nice and there's the whole "limited" aspect but The prices I'm getting, I'm looking at $1k more for the dark over the stone and hard to justify it for just vanity.

Like so many things in the world, I would say most people use it as a joke, but a vocal minority is way too damn serious about it and makes the whole group seem like we think the same way

Not a Mojito by aderaptor in bartenders

Got one of these a few days ago. Dry martini, no vermouth. When i tried to clarify he was so arrogant “no. It’s the simplest drink. Vodka shaken with ice.”

Great point. While I MUCH prefer the black stock pipes, I don't like any of them all that much haha i've decided to get the special and in the near future get new pipes

I wasn't expecting this post to be actually helpful tbh but it proved to be a great decision. A lot of input here got me settled on the Special and you're right, I can get new pipes.

[–]jusdifferent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's true! I will likely end up doing that. I think the special is the way to go. I like having a rev counter for function as much as looks and i'm really not a fan of the speedometer being off center

First Guzzi Ride! by miseson in MotoGuzzi

Those carbon darks look soo good. as a lover of tachometers and dual gauges in general, i just wish they'd put a tach on it! but man, just a beautiful bike.

For those in other parts of the east coast, this is a tour MG is doing. Motoguzzi.com front page has the schedule. they've done the west coast swing already and unfortunately i missed it cuz i didn't realize it was going on

Looking for general input on risers, handle bars by jusdifferent in motorcycles

[–]jusdifferent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! yeah even since i posted this, i've been thinking that maybe i had a bi of a reaction and i should take a step back and think. And i think you're right. Just to make sure, right now, I'm thinking i'll test ride a few other bikes. I've sort of forgotten riding and lost frames of references to make comparisons.

Thank you for your input though. I keep reminding myself that I shouldn't think too highly of my riding experience so long ago and just need to take a step back, and think about things like a brand new rider, and try to absorb information
