I think I might finally have all the niggles worked out. One or two little gasps for air in an hour long ride, both in the first 30 minutes. Needs a longer shakedown ride. Then, if I’m satisfied, I can get busy outfitting for touring. #motosky #motoguzzi #advrider #motoguzziquota #motorcycle

As much as I enjoy riding, I also enjoy this. #motosky #motorcycle #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #garage
Today it’s back to working on the Quota. Injectors coming out for testing and cleaning. #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #motosky #advrider #motorcycle
Sold the Benelli to a guy who was really excited about it. Did a bunch of research and knew what he wanted. A feel-good sale. One last pic for posterity. #motosky #advrider #throttlethereapy #motorcycle
I’m selling the Benelli. Comfortable even on 500+ mile days. I just need more room in the garage so I can bring another bike out of storage. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/d/portland-2021-benelli-trk-502/7852928889.html #motosky #motorcycle #advrider #benelli #trk502x
Nice day for a ride up Lolo Pass Road. Not passable yet, though. Will try again in a few weeks. #motosky #motorcycle #drz400 #mthood #pnwonderland
Old HWY 93 and Blake Ranch Road today. Ending with my brother eating a burrito in Kingman (I had one, too). #motosky #motorcycle #advmoto #dualsport
Oatman, AZ today. Video coming to my blog at a later date. Will include donkeys. #advmoto #dualsport #motorcycle #suzuki #kawasaki #drz400 #klr650 #oatman
Taking advantage of the weather. I don’t particularly enjoy futzing with carburetors, but here we are. #motorcycle #drz400 #suzuki #keihin
More previous photos from trips. This was Death Valley NP and Mojave National Preserve. #motosky #adventuremoto #advmoto #moto #drz400 #suzuki #motorcycle
Last summer when I bought the Quota in LA and tried to ride it home to Portland. Only made it to Sacramento. Had to leave it there, fly home, and come back a week later with a trailer to fetch it. #motorcycle #moto #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #v11
New manual petcocks replace the old (prone to fail) auto electric petcocks. It’s fuel injected, so you can leave them on between rides. No bowls to flood. No needles to wear out and let the tank drain. #motorcycle #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #project #moto
Home is where the garage is. #motorcycle #moto
New low pressure fuel lines from both sides of the tank to the fuel pump. Brass Y in the middle where the two red tank lines merge into the pump feed. #motorcycle #moto #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #garage #project
One of the issues with this Quota is that the breather box rusted out. Can’t just replace it, since it was integral to the frame (not structural). Ordered this breather bottle meant for custom Harleys. Mounts perfectly where the right-side horn mounted. Solved. #motoguzzi #motorcycle #moto
When I bought this Quota, I was promised by the PO that it was “sorted.” I’m deep in it now. It *will* be sorted when I’m done. #motorcycle #motoguzzi #motoguzziquota #project #garage
Glacier National Park last summer. #motorcycle #moto #trk502 #benelli
