1) That's what I thought - 12V is 12V. Fuse looked good. 2) That makes sense. 3) Each piece has a controller just like the one you're describing. The switch needs to be depressed for several seconds to turn on. So it sounds like I wouldn't be able to test continuity for the gear. But I...

That's what I figured... but I'm pretty bad with electrical stuff, and he was pretty confident he knew what the issue was, so I deferred to him. If I meet up with him again I will bring a multimeter.

Thanks ! .. two problems. 1) I can't find the cigarette lighter adapter bit for my Noco, and 2) the seller doesn't have the cigarette lighter to coax bit. If I could find 1), I know you can buy a thing that goes from cigarette lighter plug to posts for ring terminals.... or I could buy the...

1) I was checking out some 12V heated gear that has a a fused pigtail with ring terminals (only). We tried to test it by connecting the terminals to my car battery. The gear didn't turn on. Seller thought the problem was using a car battery and not a bike battery; I assumed 12V is 12V...

I just noticed - he's pretty much right around the corner from my house. Too bad my bike is up north and I hate riding into the city, or I'd consider giving him a try.

@Relax and @Fuzzbuster PM me and I'll give you Giovanni's contact info. Sorry for the late reply but I wanted to check with him it was OK for me to share. For what it's worth, I have no association with him other than I know he came highly recommended on a Ducati forum, and that I spoke and...

I have no argument with either paragraph. I went into my own Multistrada purchase with eyes wide open. The flip side of your coin is, if you don't like (say) the bike with ADV styling and 19" wheels and lower travel suspension, realize that you may not be the target demographic. And that...

That's a guy who had to go bad.

I have no issue with people preferring certain aesthetics. I do have an issue with the argument that every ADV-styled bike needs to have full-on off-road bonafides. To me it's like arguing that every cruiser-styled bike needs to be a V-twin, that every 911 needs to have a manual transmission...

Not sure how I feel about the whole idea. I think there’s a danger that any sense of community could be lessened or feel artificial. I’m short and bought a Multistrada. The seat height felt insane. I’m not too proud to admit I’ve dropped it a few times - always at a stop. That being said...

Thanks @TK4 and @Lightcycle . You both trust your guys? I’m looking for a guy who if he says it’s $3k for X, I don’t even need to question it. I’ve got a contractor like that at our cottage.

It's really not a question of if, but when, how often and how bad.

Usually take my car to Downtown Lexus but would be happy to find a good independent mechanic. Haven't had any particular issues with DL and they're very close to where I live, but I'd be willing to give an independent a look.

When I was a kid my Mom took on us on a road trip to Chicago. I was maybe 8, my sister 7 and my brother 3. This was in the days where seat belts weren't mandatory and kids were untethered. Behind us we can see a LONG procession of motorcycles, probably over 100 long. It turns out it was an...

I plan to have Giovanni do my Desmo in the spring. He will drive to where you are. I talked to him when I was looking at a Multistrada and he seemed very nice, was very helpful, and his prices seemed fair. Since the bike was 7 hours away, I had the sales guy do a walk around video, start the...

I could be wrong but I think this might have been the guy, if the name in the news was correct.

I think shows should consider offering discounts on admission to families. I brought my two sons just for the heck of it and something to do - they ride dirt bikes but aren't *really* into it, so weren't sure if they wanted to go. At $25 per head, it'd be easy to see people deciding not to...

That's terrible. I hope the guy's OK. I believe the guy is the owner of the company doing the stunts. It's not hard to imagine someone getting seriously hurt. I saw their show at 5:30 on Saturday evening. My kids were antsy and wanted to leave but had huge smiles on their faces when the...

Couldn’t they figure out a way to make it accessible to more people? Say a tiered platform? We lined up Saturday afternoon but by the time we got to the steps it was pretty clear we weren’t going to see much so we bailed.

I'm sorry I missed you again too. I saw the Sharp Rider booth, I figured you were both connected since I think the canopies had both names on it, but didn't see anyone there either. I wanted to thank GTAM in person for putting together such a great community. Well, thank you!
