that is interesting, I wonder why 70% throttle? thanks for the tips !!

@@jeffmurray7448 It Makes you wonder about all new bikes Ha Ha. I assume this will preserve longevity and lower accidents with their brand.

@@jeffmurray7448 Have you done the KAMS update? It adds a cover under the seat for heat.

Thanks, covid lego projects!

Thank you for you comments, I loved so much the time I spent with my Guzzi, I miss her every day

​@@jeffmurray7448you can get another one! There are plenty out there at bargain prices

Thanks !! yup.. the hail was interesting for sure

you are welcome, thanks for taking the time to letting me know your situation. FS is a really fun game and finding the right combination of machine, controls can be a challenge. I don't talk about it in the video but I have used FS on an xbox s and it is an alternative to consider as well.

I like it as well, thanks for your comment

Will give that a try and let you know. Thanks !

OMG, That is so Cool, thank you for noticing it. I really appreciated it!! I will give that a try and let you know!..

you are right. Trial and error for sure. I will get better !! thanks for your comment

Thank you for your story and glad you got your bike the way you want it. I guess that the OEM Vaquero should be pretty close to the voyager in terms of loudness but not sure. I don't plan on upgrading my bike as I like the sound it makes with the OEM pipes and tuning. I figure why mess with it. I am not sure about the ivans upgrade which I have heard much about and recommended. My understanding is that the ECU gets a sticker on it when they IVANs tune the bike. might be worth checking. The other way to tell is to ask if they connected the O2 sensor to the muffler. I think they unplug that with an Ivans upgrade. Best of luck with your ride.

@@jeffmurray7448 The Vaquero and the Voyager have the same 1700cc motor so the exhaust is interchangeable. As for the Ivan's ECU Flash, I can let you know more about that after Tuesday! I'm riding my bike down to Greenville S.C. to Ivan's Shop (a 2.5-hour ride) to have him Flash my ECU. He told me that "I won't recognize my bike after he's done, because I'll think that I'm riding a brand-new bike home!"

Have not thought about that as I don't ride at night. I keep the side lights on as well as the headlight when riding during the day as well. Do you think they will help other see me better during the day?

@jeffmurray7448 100% they will..I bought some eagle lights LEDS and they light up the night with a white light..You can probably get some day makers offline for cheaper though.

I agree. I Guess this makes for unique offering for each year since they don't change the bike that much. Thanks for your comment

Thank you for the feedback. I will check our availability !! Yes, I watched the videos. I would be so lost from the start especially with the barking in the background. The new puppy did great, so extra kibble please!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the video !

There are smarter ways of getting there, like staying in the hotels nearest to the venue.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Have you hear of the Sony SRS-NS7? Was thinking of looking into that one but the price jump would put my expectations pretty high. But if it lives up to it, should be a great piece.

@@jeffmurray7448 I had them sent it back. 👎👎

I really like the Concours bike !! that is on my list to get. It looks very comfortable and fun to ride. Thank you for your comments.

@@jeffmurray7448 it is and it’s a fast bike with saddle bags and shaft drive.

Here is where I got it, shows unavailable now but might be some similar www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098K2TD4S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you very much!

bummer, these bikes have a place in my heart! thanks for watching

Yes it was, we plan on returning sans-balloons. Thanks for watching.

Thank you ! I need to do the Air Filter for sure.

Sorry, I was out of the country last week, how did it go? I am 6 feet. I have no problems with fit or reach on the bike. I know that the gold wing has more passenger room than the voyager. not sure is that is an issue. The key metrics I think about is 1) seat comfort 2) leg bend (are my legs bent too much) 3) windshield height and helmet shake at high speeds. All of which were resolved after a test drive. I was coming a Moto Guzzi Eldorado which was tighter than I thought in retrospect so the Voyager felt huge in comparison. Let me know how your visit went and what you decided.

You will be comfortable on it, I’m 6’1” 230 lbs. My wife is 5’7” and maybe 145-150 lbs and she says it’s very comfortable to her.

When Full it will go about 220 miles I think. I usually fill up no after no more than 150. Besides by then I need a break. Thanks for checking out the video.

I have run VR through the custom built machine to reasonably good results in terms of performance. Unfortunately after 15 min the headset is hot on my head and I start to get sick so I don't use VR that much.

@@jeffmurray7448 Thank you for replying and I do not think that pc is for me as most of my games inc msfs I run through my vr headset.

Glad it was helpful!

That is awesome, what a great bike. the reason that the voyage went to the top of my list is because I did own a 1999 Vulcan drifter and it was pretty flawless as well. The testament to a great bike (or car) is that the more you own it the more you like it. (not less) I think these bikes fit that category well.

ok, so I am in the middle of the Elon Musk book which is what got me interested in space travel and just so happens I have a lego set given to me during covid that I had not started yet. So seemed like a great match. Most of the video is shot with a insta360 x3 with a custom timelapse. What is great the mistakes and "redos" you have to with legos are carefully hidden with timelapse and editing. Does make me look quite easy.

Thanks Rich, I agree with your assessment. The voice was done after. i will do a recording with voice capture soon. I was not able to find an obvious way to get into landscape mode. my guess is the general use case is short camera style videos. And maybe wear a neck brace to limit head movement will help to. Might be my motorcycle training that has me looking around all the time.

Jeff, in your video, you were walking down a trail or walkway. Howabout you take the trail in segments where you, at the beginning, stop and shoot the scene. You pause the camera walk to the next spot, stop and shoot, etc. You can merge the various scenes as fades. The finished product may look like you are walking from place to place while you are shooting a video. Just a thought.@@jeffmurray7448

thank you

I’m going to Google it

howdy!! thanks for finding me on youtube !! enjoy

Thanks for sharing and what a great find on a low milage bike. I am sure mods are in my future but just now getting used to the weight and how it handles.

@@jeffmurray7448 Recently I added the Oxford heated grips (also have them on my Yamaha Super Tenere) after a trip up to Oregon. They heat up better than the OEM heated grips on the Yamaha. Amazon $100.

I miss mine for sure! ok well not the oil leak but the bike has so much character you just feel a bit special riding it. When I traded mine in for my voyager (so my wife can ride comfortably) they sold my guzzi in about a week for 7 or 8 I think so you got a great deal. Enjoy it

Great comment and your bike sounds amazing. I am going to give the Voyager a bit more seat time before I put money into modifications. There are lots of other options out there for sure.

good catch, thanks. yea.. not sure if it really matters, saw other people do it so I tried. I will figure it out. thanks for the comment on the bike.

It doesn't matter, enjoy your bike. Have a nice day

Thank you for your comment. the color does stand out amongst the other bikes out there in typical black or grey. I personally like the dark blue version they sold a while back. But this one is like a teal color and matches pretty close to my Favorite hockey team, San Jose Sharks.

Thanks for your comment. I have not but I do ride with others that have HDs. and have no problem keeping up with them .

Yes, thanks, she has me wrapped around her paw

Thanks for the correction.

LOL. Apprecate the comment

Yes indeed! Thanks for watching

I would have to say sometimes. first I don't feel as special on the Kawasaki, it is a proven design and classic looks and I feel confident on it. Sound is great, room for my wife and enough power to get me around but it does not want to be pushed hard. At first the weight difference felt huge! with the tour pack etc. but I think most of that is summed up in the way the weight is carried and the tires size differences. It is not a big deal now. The Motoguzzi was always ready to pull you and envite you to wind it out. Pure blast. The sound was ok but kinda industrial espeically sitting on top of it. It looked amazing and people don't just say "nice bike" they either ask what is that, have a story of their own or take a good long stare at it. So say, it has and always have a special place in my heart. However special comes with a price. 1 hour drive for survice, oil like that they can't sort out, and electronics that are bound to go out at some time. Kawasaki is likely not to have thoes issues ever. Hope that helps and thanks for the question.

Do you know what was leaking oil on your Guzzi ? What part it was or what area of the engine the leak was found ? Thank you@@jeffmurray7448

Thanks, the only thing I have been doing recently is making sure my inside shoulder is up (not pointed at the ground) it has given me more confidence. I tended to dip my right shoulder and thus leaning more than I should be. Something I have not talked about in other videos. oh.. and keep practicing

It does not have a quick shifter, I bet one can be added aftermarket though. I don't know the exact differences between the two bikes. They share many components though and obviously missing the tour pack for a more sporty look. I expect the exhaust and tuning to be a bit different. Thanks for watching the video.

maybe someday. thanks for the comment.

Glad to hear it and thanks for the comment. They are solid bikes for sure !! enjoy.

Thanks for the reply. I have sat on a Vaquero at my local dealership. Very nice bike!

thank you !
