Moto Guzzi Stelvio --- reliability
Hi --- Got a bug to get a Moto Guzzi Stelvio. It's a right-brained thing becasuse there is a BMW dealer about two miles away, so an R1200GS is certainly the most logical choice.
My problem with a Stelvio is there is no Moto Guzzi dealer around here. Closest seems to be about three hours away. So that's the concern:
Can anyone give me some advice on the reliability of these bikes? The one I'm looking at is a 2009 with 5000 miles. No issues as being sold. So could most maintenance be done by myself? Or like some Italian machines should you plan on frequent visits to the MG dealer? Is the electronics good and reliable? That's something I certainly can't fix myself.
Any advice or experience with these bikes?
Thanks --- Scott

I'll just lurk here and watch the responses. Just today I mentally decided that I'd get a Stelvio. Then changed my mind and decided on a KTM 990 SMT. Then changed my mind again and decided to screw with my Aprilia more...work it into a very sporty version of a very road-biased adv bike. And then changed my mind again....
Stelvio is my dream bike though...they are just friggin' beautiful. Like you, I'm very curious about reliability.

There is a Stelvio (Merged) Threadfest a bit further down on this page at the present time. It has tons of info on the Stelvio that may answer your questions.

Stelvio Reliability
Thanks for the reference , but man ! that Stelvio thread ought to be broken up. 139 pages??
Well, let's let this be a thread for mechanical reliability.
Anyone care to chime in?
Basically is the Stelvio about as reliable and robust of design as a BMW 1200GS? Probably not, but I don't want to ride the thing to Nome, Alaska or through the Darien gap. I just don't want a bike which needs to see the dealer frequently or let me down on the road side 100 miles from home.

I think block-wise, both the BMW and MG are quite robust. Ease of maintenance? Tie. Both have their heads out in the breeze and at least the older versions (don't know about the 2012's) had screw-type valve adjustment. Dead simple to do in your spare time. No Bearing issues (just grease them really well when you bring her home....Luigi tried to save money by keeping his grease gun mostly empty). Electrics seem robust once any early problems are dealt with. Parts are pretty easy to get from MI in Seattle or MPH in Houston, so unless you have a warranty issue, you really never need to see a dealer.
One "complaint" I've heard about the Guzzi's are they're heavy....and they are. That's because they're over-built (think Italian version of a Harley). Sure, they could be lighter, but they're made to go the distance.
Go ride one and see if it's for you. I LOVED the motor, but couldn't get my Norge ergos to work for me. Too many years of off-road riding have beaten my hands and wrists so they can't take any pressure on them or my hands go numb. On the Norge, after a 3-400 mile day, I'd have numbness in my hands for days. Not good. I thought about a Stelvio (more upright riding position), but then I test rode a Ducati Multistrada 1200 and it was all over. Fit me like a glove, great comfort, and OMG the power is just insane.....

I have a fairly unique view of this - I worked in the Piaggio after sales dept in the UK until the end of 2009 as the technical training guy, I bought my Stelvio new in 2008. So I have the experience of owning one, the experience of training dealers how they work and listening to dealers talk about them and comparing them to other bikes. Obviously, that doesn't make me omnipotent on the subject - but I think it should help.
I love my bike - I have test ridden a 1200Gs since and been around the trade a while so have ridden other stuff - and I couldn't be happier with mine (well - maybe a slightly bigger tank!! But I may try and convert the front of the bike to the new design :) )...
Reliability. It's not bad at all, mine has given some issues but by '09 all the glitches should be pretty much sorted. They are pretty straight forward to work on for servicing (although a bit silly if you ever need to take the tank off, that's about 15-20 minutes, more on your first time if you don't have a manual - the whole fairing comes off) but they compare well to other things - lots of dealers said that they were more reliable than the GS. This makes sense to me, I have always felt that BMW's reputation for reliability is built on smoke. BMW's strength is their excellent after sales care, for that they can be hard to rival.
On the plus side again with Guzzi - dealers and owners alike tend to be Guzzi enthusiasts - so help and support can come from all sorts of directions!
BUT (and this is really important) It's a motorcycle - bikes are about following your heart - if you love them, buy one - reliability is good enough to put it up there with the rest of the mainstream so your head need not worry.
As a general rule (purely subjective opinion here) the smaller European companies don't have the R&D budgets of the bigger Japanese/Asian companies so the first production runs are more likely to give homes to gremlins (that is true of all motorcycle manufacturers to some extent - it stands to reason!) - but then they jump on issues and develop the models - get into the subsequent years of manufacture and you are onto a winner!
Just buy the damn thing though - they are a great bike - and the sound as you ease on the gas out of a bend is utterly addictive - still makes my tingle 3 and a half years on!!

I have an 09 Stelvio. 40K plus on her as she waits for spring.
Only issues have been a speed sensor that got wet and died. I used a GPS for speed till the new one came in and I put it on. I also had staining on the carc from the final drive fluid. The "local" shop... 3 hours away... re-sealed it and no more issues.
Stone reliable. At least as good as the BMW.
GSA / Stelvio... Both EU. air-oil cooled... transverse 1200 twins real close numbers on paper. VERY different riding experience.

I DON'T have a Stelvio - but what I DO have, is 5 Guzzis. I've owned at least Guzzi every single day and night since about 1977; at times there were up to 14 Moto Guzzis in my garage at the same time.
Of probably 50 or 60 that I've owned, only 2 were bought new - and only 1 was what I'd call a real lemon - and that was butchered by previous owners - the last owner is now a former friend.
Am I a one-eyed bigot? Only if we're taking about Bimotas!
Are Guzzis utterly reliable? No.
But can you fix them with a length of fence-wire, a band-aid and a rock? Generally, yes.
They are a rugged, simple design occasionally let down by flakey Quality Control and some accountant-afflicted purchase orders - so stuff like switches might not be as good as they ought to be. Each model has had its quirks but the consensus seems to be that the Stelvio is one of the best bikes the factory has built in the last 90-odd years - can't vouch for earlier than that.
Each model year has seen alterations & upgrades, so the older they are, the more issues you might face - though enthusiastic POs might have attended to those themselves.
Buy the bike - in the unlikely event you either don't like it or find a problem, you'll get a host of knowledgeable suggestions from hi-mileage Stelvio owners.

I've got an 09. Bought it as a left over a little over a year ago. It's been rock solid reliable. I put over 20,000 miles on it last year and it's only been in the shop for its 600 mile break in, and for tire changes. It has never missed a beat. I'll be taking it to Alaska this summer and then 6000 miles or so home to north of Boston, MA and am not worried about it in the slightest.
I have 5 other Guzzi's in the garage and have never been stranded by any of them. My 04 Ballabio has nearly 70,000 miles on it and has never been down for anything other than a clutch, and from what I can tell, the 09 Stelvio is a higher quality machine.
Just make sure the cam/follower recall was done and you're good to go.
Good luck with your decision. If you test ride it, you'll be hooked.

Recently ex large BMW motorcycle dealer foreman chiming in here!
I have been researching this same topic for some time. While working for BMW, I owned all BMW's as to do otherwise would be bad form.
I am not currently attached to any brand, so free to do and say as I like.
I will always love BMW but everything I am discovering on Moto Guzzi is positive!
See the rod going across from throttle body to throttle body. THAT is how you sync throttle bodies. The fiddley system BMW uses is a pain to get spot on. On the GS you loosen a cable adjuster, get the vacuum the same, tighten the locknut which changes everything, back off the adjustment, tweak, tighten, tweak tighten, tweak tighter, ahh, perfect. Bump the cable housing, damn, back to tweaking. It's not the end of the world, but BMW's fiddley system is so prone to going out of adjustment that everyone just considers slightly rough idle and low throttle a characteristic of the bike which it should not be. MG uses the same system employed by multi throttle bodies on cars for the last 50 years! A solid rod that does not stretch and go out of sync all the time.
Thats how you do brake lines, separate and up each side. F800GS crosses over which n accession can get sucked into the knobs if you pick up a sizable rock.
It happened to me and I went from 30 to zero with a non rotating front tire. Actually I went from 30 to 10 that way and the rest on my side. It happened to another rider, much publicized and he went down at very high speed. It's a fluke and rare, but I am digging Moto Guzzi's attention to detail in avoiding many of these rare happenings with a solid thought out design.
On the R1200GS/GSA you won't catch a brake line cause theres a solid piece of aluminum just above the tread. I have never heard of a rock blocking the tire, but have seen one tear out knobs when it went between. Weird things happen, kudos to MG for not putting anything hard right about the tread.
Every other time an R1200GS/GSA came into the shop on a flatbed, it was because the damn Bosch fuel injectors plugged or got stuck. MG chose Weber fuel injectors. I have much experience with Weber fuel injectors with both motorcycles and autos. 10X more robust. They click louder then the Bosch injectors, but they actually keep working.
The more I research by asking riders questions and the more I explore the Stelvio hands on, the more I am becoming convinced this is THE adventure bike for round the world reliability.
And yes, it might be easier to get parts for a KLR or the like of small bike, but so would be to get parts for a red rider wagon which on my funness scale, is about the same.

I own one, and I stand firmly in saying it's one of the best bikes Guzzi has built. Does it have issues? A couple. '09s had a cam recall, and a few fell victim to ham-fisted folks when tightening the (over-sized) axle pinch bolts. All were replaced under warranty unless they have never been broken (like mine). Does the fueling need addressed? IMO, YES. Does it need a rear shock replacement? If you weigh much over 160 lbs., absolutely. Do most people buy and ride them, absolutely. See; http://www.stelvio2stelvio.it/ -- his bike is in my garage awaiting his return.
If you want a MUCH lower S/N ratio for your question, see; http://forum.guzzitech.com/forum/190.html
Just be forewarned, it is an addiction that rivals every drug. I bought my first new in '99, and have owned more then a dozen now, and put in well over 300k miles to date. My first is still with me, and still does track day time.

For reasons of their own, not everyone can reveal their identity on the Internet, not when they are naked that is, or sharing their most private secrets. That's okay. It's our good fortune Phoenix has revealed as much as he has. He's twenty-three, a beautiful young man taking his first steps on a lifelong adventure, choosing new roads to travel, sharing his life spiritually and intimately with his boyfriend.
If Phoenix had lived in ancient Rome, he may have tempted Hadrian to have second thoughts about Antinous. He is simply irresistible by anyone's standards. He struggled to capture these pictures as he lives with relatives that are at home all the time. Fortunately for us, with stealth and imagination, he managed to get a few.
To look at his body, the graceful lines and shadows, the compelling curves and smooth youthful skin, is to experience any number of fantasies. Yet, if he were stretched out across your lap, you may simply find yourself transfixed and staring at him.
Phoenix has taken pictures of himself before, a couple years ago, then shared them only with his long distance boyfriend at the time. He took these to share with everyone that appreciates the nuances and subtleties of the male body. He loves his body and loves being naked. He and his current boyfriend hope to travel someplace warmer than England so they can enjoy the freedom of a nude beach. He and his boyfriend have a no clothes policy around the flat, unless they have guests.
Phoenix believes the male body is a thing of beauty, each one different from the next, but it's the differences that makes us interesting. He wishes his body was hairless because shaving is such a pain. Perhaps when he finishes school and becomes a nurse, he can get laser hair removal treatments.
Phoenix is passionate about oral sex. His greatest satisfaction comes from pleasuring his boyfriend. He says he is addicted to it and loves the feel, the texture and taste. His boyfriend is the beneficiary of Phoenix's lips first thing in the mornings and frequently during the course of the day. The rest of us can only imagine what it's like to look down and see Phoenix at work.
"I would love to try a threesome. I am still not quite up to being pounded hard or anything but I would love to have my boyfriend slowly enter me from behind before thrusting oh so slowly as I suck off someone who has a small penis. I really love small penises. My boyfriend's is average and I can't get enough of his but small penises have always been a fantasy of mine."
Phoenix's personal philosophy:
"I believe attractiveness is subjective. Not everyone will like the same thing and just because you don't adhere to what society in general says is attractive it doesn't mean you aren't. Difference is beautiful; it is to be appreciated and adored not chastised. No matter whom you are and no matter what you look like there will always be many people out there who would love to be with you. I believe that the cause of a lot of feelings of inadequacy in adults is caused by the way we bring up our children to be ashamed and embarrassed about their bodies and that sex should not be spoken of. If we brought children up to appreciate their bodies and in an environment that is open about sexuality then we would have many happier adults in the next generation."
"When I was around 13 I started hanging out more and more with a friend of mine who was a few months younger than me. We started spending a lot of time sleeping over at each other, sleeping over at each other's houses, camping together in our gardens and stuff like that. It was then that we started playing cards together. My friend always believed that cards are no fun if you have nothing to gamble. Initially it was strip poker. I loved this. I ended up having a massive crush on him. He had a lovely body. He was short and skinny, but not as skinny as me. He had little body hair to speak of, a few straggly little pubes that could easily be missed and the cutest little penis I have ever seen. As we spent more time together we wanted to up the bets slightly so we ended up going in the direction of dares. Silly things initially like run around the garden naked, flash out of the window or go to bed wearing nothing but a sock on your penis. Silly dares; their only real purpose was to get us naked. They then turned into performing massages on each other. These massages escalated to naked full body massages including penises. My friend who seemed pretty outwardly homophobic persisted that it wouldn't be gay if we didn't directly touch each other's penises. So we would put our boxers on when it got to that point. I used to purposely lose the card games so I could touch him. It was amazing. His penis was about two thirds the size of mine. He got an erection every time it happened. I have never come across another penis like his. When he was hard he was hard, it felt like a lead pipe wrapped in foreskin and it went straight up, not forwards on a diagonal, straight up, it was only about 1mm off his stomach. Because it was so hard I couldn't move it from side to side or throw it around like mine cause moving it slightly like that hurt him. So I just gripped it lightly through the boxers and moved my hand up and down, basically just wanking him off slowly. This went on till we were about 15 when he got a girlfriend and fell in with a crowd of drug addicts, we started spending less time together and drifted apart. It is my biggest regret that I never tried to move things forward into maybe mutual masturbation or even some oral sex. At the time because of how homophobic he was outside of these situations I was terrified that if I tried to move things forward we would lose what we had. When I look back he was clearly enjoying what was going on and may have even liked to move things forward. I wouldn't have expected him to do anything for me. I always just wanted to do things for him. But unfortunately because of his issues and attitudes I was too scared to even try, which saddens me."
"My most intense orgasm happened fairly recently. As you have probably noticed doing things for other people turns me on a lot, as does having a penis in my mouth. I was kissing my boyfriend and wanking him off. I was going to kiss my way down to his penis and start sucking him off when he orgasmed. I took my hand and rubbed it across the cum and smeared it across his penis, I used it as a kind of lube for a while until it created a kind of white frothy substance covering his penis. I then kissed my way down to his penis. I had been lying on my side so my crotch was near his upper half. I started licking the head of his penis with my tongue when he started playing with my penis. So I moved his hips up and turned him round so that we were in a 69 position with him on top, his penis was staring me in the eye. It still had that layer of white froth covering most of it and had gone down to a semi as he had just orgasmed. So I started sliding his shaft into my mouth. It was fun because as it was only a semi I could get down to the base easily and because we were in the 69 position I could nuzzle my nose in his balls once I reached the base. I could taste the cum on his shaft as he started to wank me off. As he started to pick up the speed I had removed all the froth off his penis and was sliding up and down his shaft. I could feel the tension building inside me. I had never felt like this before, it felt like there was something at the gates just waiting to pour out but the gate wasn't opening, the feeling just got more and more intense as I moved up and down. I could feel like I was going to unload so I slid all the way down to the base of his penis and nuzzled my nose into his balls. As I did this the floodgates opened and this massive feeling of release filled me, it shot everywhere. Normally I shoot a little then dribble, it shot several times and got places it never normally does, I could feel in in my armpit, on the sheets, my neck and of course my stomach. I stayed in this position with his entire manhood in my mouth nuzzled into his balls for several minutes, I was taken aback, I was thoroughly amazed. My boyfriend even reached for the tissues and started cleaning me up as I remained clamped to his penis in amazement. So many things combined just made the experience different and immensely erotic for me. The taste of cum on his penis, the fact his cock was in my mouth, seeing his balls bounce up and down as I knocked them with my nose, all of this whilst I was being wanked off was just such an amazing combination for me. I have never had an orgasm like that before and I hope that I can replicate that again."
Now you can imagine what spending a weekend with Phoenix might be like.

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Ubarun/Article about stuff) so you may edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done slap a construction template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.
There are plenty of other things to do, of course. Often articles will require proofreading, among other fix ups, and we could always use more reviewers, and for the more artistic of folks, there's the option of creating images to aid articles that need more images and making them prettier, for instance.
If you need help or have questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, ask on IRC, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is here to bring experienced editors straight to you.

edit Template:Apple
Unless you want to actually write an article on the iPenis, adding a link to Penis to this template just makes it longer without helping the reader find other articles that have to do with the Apple, which Penis does not. So I undid your edit, sorry. Spıke Ѧ 23:17 11-Feb-13
edit Insults are not jokes
And your addition to Argentina and Chile of unflattering photos of shantytowns, with the identical caption, "It's just one more country," don't make our articles more encyclopedic and won't make our readers laugh. Spıke Ѧ 21:32 27-Aug-14
edit Manny Pacquiao
Perhaps I should not have said in my Change Summary, reverting you, that you added Lie to the See Also in order to state your personal opinion. That would indeed be mind-reading. But you should not have ranted at me in your Change Summary (which incidentally proves that you are not here to write in competent English but to give us a piece of your mind, even before reviewing your contributions, which are to add vandal-quality illustrations to pages on South American countries). I am reverting you again. The article Manny Pacquiao has nothing to do with the article on Lie; so there is no point to this link except to express an opinion. If this turns into another revert war, you will lose it again. Spıke Ѧ 02:07 30-Sep-14

Spring means melting snow and hints of green taking over for gray skies and cold ground, so it makes sense that Denver- based Ballet Ariel would follow that same pattern.
"We were thinking we wanted a show that was a little lighter in content — something a little more cheerful," said director Ilena Norton.
As a result, the seven-member company will present its most upbeat, eclectic seasonal concert yet this weekend. The fifth annual "Spring Into Spring" show, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre, combines classical and modern, delicate and comic in its four diverse programs.
"One of the motivations for the Charlie Chaplin piece is that it's a comic ballet," Norton said of her world premiere, "The Chase," inspired by the silent film master's work and set to a jumpin' 1920s jazz soundtrack. "It's funny and light, whereas 'Les Sylphides' is a very romantic piece."
The latter, choreographed by Michael Fokine and staged by former Colorado Ballet prima ballerina Patricia Renzetti, is the definition of "classic," a Russian-born work of movement over narrative danced to the music of Chopin. The company has performed excerpts from "Les Sylphides" in the past — and will again in the coming weeks when it tours to Wyoming — but never in its entirety.
Also on the program is Norton's "Latin Movement," danced to the music of local wind quintet Gossamer Winds, and Gregory Gonzales' appropriately seasonal contemporary ballet "Storm," which takes place in three big, bold-sounding movements ("Cyclogenesis," "Microburst" and "Gustinado").
"The Latin piece, I choreographed for our Denver Art Museum performance in the fall," Norton said. "It's definitely a ballet, but it incorporates Latin dances like salsa. And then we performed one movement of 'Storm' for our last spring show, but Greg Gonzales has added two more movements to it, so he's essentially finished that piece."
Gonzales, a former Colorado Ballet principal who has choreographed several pieces for Ballet Ariel, will dance in his own piece. Other guests include Paul Noel Fiorino as the dastardly villain in Norton's "The Chase."
"It's really a diverse range of choreography in both style and content," Norton said. "We want to have that broad appeal in what we offer, so we do classic ballets, we do contemporary ballets, and we create new ballets in the classical style."
The approach seems to be working for Norton's 12-year-old company. After years of sharing space — and occasionally stages — with Denver's Hannah Kahn Dance Company, Ballet Ariel moved into its own space on South Broadway last summer.
"We were running out of rehearsal space in her studio and beginning to need our own," Norton said of her company, which boasts 50 students. "Up until the recession, rents were just astronomical, but things changed dramatically over the summer, so we were able to find an affordable space on Broadway. We were also looking to have a more visible presence in the community."
With her Wyoming performances in the coming weeks and another slate of Summer Youth Ballet Camps planned for June, Norton's wish seems likely to come true.

48 year old woman | North Royalton, OH, USA | Seeking men 38-53 within 30 miles of Cleveland, OH
A good man wanted
I am a secure, confident, fun woman who is seeking the same in a man. One who is emotionally mature, open minded and honest yet compassionate with a strong sense of direction. I recently ended a long term relationship. I consider my job to be pretty interesting and I sometimes work long hours, however I still have time for family and friends. I'm a mom of a college student who does not live at home. I have lived in Ohio my entire life and wonder why because I hate the cold and the snow. I wish all winters were like last winter. I love meeting new fun and interesting people, the company of family, friends and co-workers, honest people, all kinds of music and concerts, shopping, eating, happy hours, studying people, world news, thunderstorms, the Cavs, Indians, Browns, pilates and my laptop. I'm a clean freak, always cleaning my house. I like to shop but I know my limit and my budget. Some might say that I decorate for the holidays too early and too much. I love the holidays. Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the decorations, getting together with friends, attending a beautifully decorated church and of course wrapping presents! I take a lot of pride in my beautifully wrapped presents. I'm currently actively working out with Zumba Pilates. I joined a local gym. If you are looking for a size 2 woman, I'm not there...yet:) I love to get dressed up but am comfortable just lounging around too. I'm very allergic to cats! I'm looking for someone who is fun and can make me laugh, outgoing, lighthearted, and honest. Most importantly, I would like to meet someone who has his life together and knows how to treat and respect a woman, enjoys traveling, spontaneous road trips to wineries, amish country, beaches, going to sporting events, amusement parks, camping, bonfires, spending time with friends and family, dinner, drinks, or simply spending days/nites cuddling and enjoying each others company:)

I like trying new restaurants, movies, the air show, local festivals, museums, social gatherings or just watching TV. I recently started doing Zumba and Turbokick.
In my free time I like going to movies, out to dinner, theatre, baseball games, football games and whatever is happening in Cleveland.

With Charlie home now for the summer and under Susanne's watchful eye, you would think there's no need for me to plug in NightScout at all. Why would I need to watch blood sugars while at work each day? What good would that do? The whole point of the thing was to be a second (or third) set of eyes when Charlie was at school or at a friend's house or in Japan. BECAUSE I'M A CRAZY PERSON!!!!!!!!! That's why.

Life is so short. I want enjoy each day & your company. Let's get beyond pleasant introductions & get right down to Our Story. You game?
And they say this part is easy, yeah right. Well here goes. Hello Gentlemen. I am gonna try to sum things up, I mean no one signed up to read my A& E Biography. " If you would like to know more you will just have to get to know me, I promise you won't be disappointed." I believe that what you want from the Universe you put it out there and it shall come. ( The Secret a must read By Rhonda Byrne) Honesty up front is a major thing for me. Honesty is the gateway to so many things. I love traveling,cooking, dancing, and spending time with family and friends. After taking a break from dating in order to love and enjoy myself, I am so ready to find a companion that I can truly be myself with. Laugh,sing, dream, and live.. PLEASE I HAVE NO TIME FOR GAMES. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY, PLEASE KEEP IT MOVING. Music is my pulse, I begin and end each day with some type of music. I am a lover of all Genres (Jazz, R&B : 70s, 80s and 90s, Soul, Neo Soul, Classic Oldies, Rap, Latin, Soca, and so much more) . If at any time you want to know what I am thinking without me saying a word? Pay attention to the music that I am playing. (lol) The kind of mate I am looking for, hmmmm. Well I want someone that I can connect with on many levels ( peel back layers), someone that I can only connect with on surface in my opinion can only really evolve into a friendship ( which is fine; however, this is a dating site right). I like someone outgoing but is also comfortable with being low key at times.Traveling for me is a must. I have frequent flyer miles, passport, and camera ready to go. No drama, I promise to leave my past where it is if you are also willing to do so. I have reached a point in life where I no longer want to play guessing games. So, with that said I am asking that only real inquiries come my way. Communication is key. Let's open up and explore. I'll meet you on the other side of happiness. Catch me if you can!
