What did you do with your GRiSO today?

Of course the stock exhaust turns heads

new wheels. Many thanks to Karman. No more having to pump the tyres up every day.

Pic won't post. But hey. NEW WHEELS!

funny thing is my OEM 09 wired rims are still close to rideable pressure a year on & still sitting under my office desk with part worn tyres after I bought cast ones (and fitted them). Only thing different is I now don't worry about checking pressure every day......just being honest as there was clearly nothing wrong with mine but forum experience makes you doubt, check & ultimately go safer option - until somebody starts a leaky cast metal wheel porosity thread which are popular in car forum

It was yesterday. But since time is relative...

1400 map done. A couple of tweaks from the AFR data, and the final map was loaded. Oh, frabjous day!

That only took 18 months, two sets of injectors and a broken leg to finish.

What am I gonna do now?

I thought you were already arseing about with the 7SM map for the V85?

I kinda meant with the GRiSO. Just..riding it...will feel..odd. For a while.

As for the V85, I've lookend at the map. My first reaction was:

That's a whole new kettle of fishies.

Ride it more, play with it less

I was able to give the new GRiSO (to me) a proper ride. This bike is a great road burner!!!!

Installed a set of Avon TrailRider AV53/54 ready for the Labrador/Newfound trip.

Good travels Omnis and Deep Space.

nice one DeepSpace, enjoy the riding and the Hallowed Ground!

- you can't half tell where you are from though.... got enough bicycles??

Haha, yeah communal shed. We just love our bicycles

On Sunday, had a great warm, sunny ride through the Wet Mountains down to Rye, Colorado, past Bishop's Castle.  Then we had a wet and cold ride back when thunderstorms moved in.  A little over 200 miles for the out and back.  The weather did not support photos at the castle so I am posting some from a previous visit.

Wow, what an interesting building its like a viking church meets Salvador Dali.

We were there in 2009 during the MGNOC National Rally in Salida, Colorado. Bishop himself was there railing against the Gubmint. Entertaining, if a bit intimidating to listen to. Classic case of a guy who defies authority at every turn - you know that no jurisdiction would issue building permits for this place - he doesn't give a fuck, builds it anyway.

His shirt says, Jim Bishop, Castle Builder.

I'll be curious if the guy that was giving tours in the MG Museum is still there. When I was there in about '08 I got there about 5 or 10 min before the museum was scheduled to open. Was told no tour because the guy that gives the tours was on vacation for the day. They also seemed to want to get rid of me, as they kept saying the museum is closed until 3:00. It was about 2:52 by this time. at about 2:58 they came out and said that the guy that gives tours had come in to show me around and I can go in now. He did not speak a word of English, but I understood everything. His passion for MG was obvious. We were part way through the first floor when a couple showed up. He kept encouraging them to join us, but they were content looking on their own. When he was done showing me around he raced back and started showing them around. Some ho sadly I fear he would likely be too old to still be doing the job... but I hope he is. Anyways enjoy the trip deep space.

Installed a hugger and sent away my forks.
Getting a wilbers shock and nitron forks.
Next up will be to install the shocks n forks when the gear turns up and then new pipes. Im looking forward to showing off that sexy rear wheel.

great ride, done the Grossglockner pass, some other passes in the Dolomites, then headed to Mandello and then back home. 3274 km. only thing that happend was my starter fuse (the 15 amp) one kept blowing up. Put a 25 one in it and she started all the time. Guess i have to have a look to see whats going on there.

Great trip and pictures DeepSpace, Wonderful view from the Grossglockner. I see they gave the famous door a fresh lick of red paint. I am just back from a similar trip through Bavaria, Austria, Croatia & the Dolomites but on the Stelvio as I had Mrs Wifey on the back, hard to beat the Stelvio for Pillion comfort.

Apologies, I know this is a "what you done with your GRiSO thread" but I had to take the Stelvio for practical two up reasons.
