Hello From MN

I came across this forum after searching for CARC oil leak at the rear clip.
Great forum for details to remedy.
Been on one main trip to Wisconsin on some low maintenance roads, sand and gravel roads in some state forests.
I bet this bike hasn't seen dirt in its 40,000 mile life....nor has been dropped until now, luckily in soft deep sand Thumbs Up

. I guess that was its initiation into what it was meant for, kind of like me at 56 getting back in the saddle after 20 years, and 35 years from last time on a motocross bike racing 250's.
Bought the bike because of some co-workers at a new job I have in cybersecurity have them (KTM adventurer/BMW GS/Triumph). We work with the largest companies in the Midwest on firewall deployment/management, hyperscale and hyper-automation. Seems to be a quite a few IT security people with adventure bikes around here that take trips all over the country and into Canada.

Welcome to the Ghetto, J. Around here, Stelvio is known as Fat GRiSO. That's not a pejorative, just an endearing fact.

Welcome Mr 68. You found the right place to coax miles from your bike. MN has a committed Guzzi contingent as well. Hope you find it all to your liking.

Pics of bikes always welcome here.

Welcome, green stelvios look great when they are dirty. I miss mine.

Since you'll be using her for what she does best, make sure you keep an eye on that airfilter box! Replace the hoses before they crack / drop a bung , and keep the filter to box seal working.

Ps , in case you haven't discovered them yet
