I don't know how old your Triking is, but if it's older than 25yrs, it may be worth checking the cost of Peter James' specialist insurance for Vintage Motor Cycle Club members. Mine (T1, 42 yrs old) was a minimal-cost, admin charge only, addition to my existing motorcycle policy, but both of my sons...

I'll be there in the T1.

I never miss a Founder's Day!

Fingers crossed it doesn't get crashed into like it has on its previous two attendances.

Some idea of numbers will be useful. Please post here if you would like a 2026 Triking Calendar.

I'd like one too, please.

caveat: I've never had a big-block later than 1989, so your oil vent/return system may differ from my understanding, but... This used to be a relatively common issue on round barrel era Guzzis, so my carry forward to yours. It happens when crankcase pressure increases, possibly due to bad ring blow-...

2016 Stelvio had roller tappets, so it's not that.
is that with the engine hot or cold?
What air intake system are you using?
It can be a symptom of poor injector spray pattern caused by gummed-up injectors, maybe give 'em a clean and try again.

I have a fair bit of experience with 'Easyout' stud extractors. None of it has been good. I've not used them since having to shell out for spark erosion to remove the inevitably-broken one from an irreplaceable bit of Laverda. The only ones I've used which have been any good have been parallel-sided...

I could have really done with that gazebo on the way home. The storm hit while we were crossing Pitsford causeway, not much shelter on there, I reckon we'd have been drier driving through the reservoir.

I always use new bolts to the correct grade (10.9??), fitted unlubricated. There's a degree of stretch built into the design, the old ones will be pre-stretched, altering their ability to re-stretch and changing their fatigue resistance. I learned about this after re-using some flywheel bolts on a C...

Thank you for the wristband, received just now.

I'd better start cleaning the T1...

That's really useful information - thanks for being the one brave enough to try it!
