Pinging Dyson Diver

Anyone know Dyson Diver? He's bought some 12s bits off me and was going to arrange a courier to pick them up but hasn't yet done it. He hasn't answered the last message I sent. He first bought parts off me 3 years ago and I still have them (they are large items - fairing panels etc). Hoping someone ...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio



Seems true Dave, prices on premium brand models are really increasing and when one looks at the cost of similar non premium brand models you question how can they be 5k more expensive. I refer to the fully loaded BMW 900GSA and its fully loaded Vosges rival. It is reported that they make the ...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio


Hi Dave,

Have you had a chance to put any miles on your Stelvio yet? What do you think of it so far?

Cheers,

Paul

I haven't yet Paul. It was delivered and put in the garage. I've added a few things - namely fender extender and more importantly a radiator guard as it is very exposed. I got the ...

Re: Wanted German language cassettes

thanks Steve but the cassettes are for a specific course - I have the books but only the cassettes for the first 2 books. It's a course I followed many moons ago before uni. My first German teacher used these books and I want them for my sister who has dabbled in learning German on and off for a few ...

Wanted German language cassettes

Not sure if this is the correct place to post and it's a bit of a long shot but I'm looking for the cassettes (or CDs if they were available) from a 3 book German course which I believe was used for GCSE. The course was called Deutsch Heute and the Course was developed by Duncan Sidwell and Penny ...

Re: 2025

Steve, I’ve done it a few times. It’s a brilliant trip on some fantastic roads. I worked in that region and love it around there. Often wished I’d stayed

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio

Nice one Dave, New bike how exciting is that! Adventure bikes are not my thing but have ridden the V85, It was a compact little beast and in my experience if the build quality on the Stelvio is as good as the Griso I had you will not be dissapointed.

Teasdale has built a cracking business over the ...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio

I have to say, Barrie Robson's have been a brilliant dealer for me. Hope Teasdale Motorcycles are as good. Initial impressions are favourable

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio

Well, I've bought a new Stelvio!! loved the ride - the conditions weren't perfect but I enjoyed the ride. It was time for a change. The bike seems so planted. The suspension was firm but it was comfortable so only time will tell

Well done Dave on the new purchase :D

Seems like an ideal time to ...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio

Congratulations! :D

Looking forward to your impressions once you have it. When do you pick it up?

Cheers

They're delivering it - I could have had it next week but I'm working so it will be in the new year. Measured the bars and it won't go in the front door. Was going to stick it in the ...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stelvio

Going to try a Stelvio today. If it has the same characteristics of my old 12GS I think I'll be buying it. The new Stelvio (or the offer I've seen) gives it a 4 year warranty. My 22 plate 1250 has some slight corrosion under the left hand cylinder. I've asked Barrie Robson's about it and they told ...

Moto Guzzi Stelvio

has anyone tried the Guzzi Stelvio? I'm thinking of getting rid of my 1250GS. There's nothing else that BMW are producing that tickles my fancy. I think I actually preferred the 1200 engine to the 1250 although I would have to ride them back to back. I don't think the 1250 engine is better or worse ...

That may be made by Oberon - I think they fitted one in the car park one year when I was at Motored Days in Garmisch
