$11,800 for the sapphire now. [emoji107]

Where can you get a sapphire Speedmaster for that price?

If the seller was serious, he'd put it back together. A little effort goes a long way.

Wow! Nice bike, Mr. Burns! 👍 Did you wash the V-Strom before the trade in? 😅 Dumb questions? Such as? Yep, installing the center stand on my Guzzi wasn't too difficult, either. A ratchet strap made quick work of the springs.

Quite correct. Every rider turning their own wrenches should own a ¼" socket and ratchet set, and a ¼" torque wrench.

I'm not keeping receipts for the rest of my life.

Has there been any formal training? You owe it to her. Get it done.

I guess I'm out.

Close, but... Begin with the brake caliper(s) removed. They will be installed as the final step. Install the axle and torque to spec. Tighten the pinch bolts on the fork leg with the axle nut. This is known as the "captive" side. Leave the pinch bolts loose on the "free" side. Place the bike...

Thanks Mike, but don't believe everything AI tells you.

My Guzzi service reminder light comes on every ̶6̶,̶0̶0̶0̶k̶m̶s̶ 10,000kms. It can only be reset by the dealer, or perhaps DIY using some very expensive equipment. So, the light will stay on forever. I call it "The Guzzi Golden Wrench Award", given to those who perform their own service.

140km in and around Port Perry today. Some run off here and there, the odd bit of sand, but the roads are, otherwise, in good shape. 8° C. the whole way, very comfortable. Meanwhile, the gravel looked nasty; I chose to avoid.
