Fall riding in the PNW
Some late summer weather here in WA. Hard to decide today between the V7 or the Eldo!

Trying to find these aux lights for a 2016 Eldorado.
I know they are standard on the California models. I can see the parts list for them on AF1 but no one source has all the parts.
Does anyone know if this light kit and mount was sold all as one piece as an accessory add on, and potentially have a part number for the full part?

Looking for opinions on turning my V7 into a scrambler
Sorry for AI photo, I just had trouble visualizing it.
Here is a mockup of a ‘23 V7 special edition as a scrambler. The original livery is referred to as the Black Devil. I’m calling this the Dirt Devil.
Would this be blasphemous to do to this bike? If it was a plain Stone I wouldn’t care, but not sure with this special edition livery. I dunno how special they are seems like MG made a bunch, but I really like the new look.
Would the V7 make a decent scrambler you think, if done properly? Instead of selling it, I think I’m going to learn to wrench on it and slowly convert it.

Finding the right bike
I ride MGs because it’s what I grew up with. I bought a V7 thinking it would be a forever bike but realized after a few seasons I don’t like riding it much as it feels too compact for anything beyond city/commuter riding. Began to understand while I love love love the look, what’s the point if it’s a struggle to ride after 100 miles. I happened to come across a 2016 Eldorado and decided to bring it home this weekend. The difference is night and day! I can see why they are harder to find as I can’t imagine people sell them too often once they snag on. The bike feels like it’s coded to me. Super grounded, super confident, better riding stance for my (old) back. The power difference in the engine size is crazy. Also floorboards and heel toe shifter are super underrated!
Curious on how other Modern Eldo riders enjoy their bikes and what some good accessories might be. I’m really trying to find the OEM Fog Light Kit…

Any idea if MG brings back the Eldorado or California in the next few years?
I have an opportunity on a eldorado at the moment, but wondering if I should wait and see if MY does a new drop again. It’s been years though since they last did with the Eldo and California, and they are somewhat harder to find.
I think if I want one I should go for it now, but wasn’t sure if anyone has heard or read anything about this besides the whack AI YouTube videos.

Fan theories on the current gameplan of the Blazers org?
IMO, it’s not just Tom being cheap. He’s INTENTIONALLY riling us all up and pissing us off so when he decided the community doesn’t support him or the team, he’s gonna blame us for any move. Then he can try to feel good about it as some new city embraces a new team, and he can point to that as proof we don’t appreciate what we had and therefore don’t deserve it. The cost saving clown show moves are a distraction from the larger issue.
Dude is speed running ways to break up the relationship with us and the team, so he can take total control and silence any voice we have in the matter.
*Also wanting tax payer help on arena renovations and then laying off 20% of the staff, taxable Oregon jobs? Fuck You, Thomas DumDum.

My mechanic sent me this later in the day after he worked on my bike.
Hope this is okay, but shout out to Dom at Rarity Motorcycles in Portland, Oregon.
Damn, MG makes a fiiiine machine.
