Hey Eric...how are you doing on the tour? I'm at 47 stops, P6x at 49 stops. We should be wrapping up in the next couple of weeks to complete all 50 here. Another friend on a Stelvio is going thru Big Bend as we speak picking up stops also.

I see you made it to Bucee's! The Champagne one looks in nice shape...at what price was it being offered?

Wow!

^^ What little I've seen of her vids, she's a good one to play Neil. I think she's got a little more funk but can do all the doo dahs. Not a huge Rush fan, but saw them on one of their last tours.

Pretty excited to listen to/ watch some new video of Anika Nilles playing with RUSH . . .

I'll post a link to the videos when they get published. They will be pretty epic if I do say so myself.

Sorry about that... not really.

Oslo-Bergen-HAMAR !! SpineRaid

Only 900km , have beer. Cheers Tom.

Hey Ali Fra! Thanks for checking in! Once you get re-settled, there is another V11Le Mans waiting for you . . .

GLWTS ?

I was curious to see what this offering was, but couldn’t open the folder directly without permission. I ask for permission from Google Drive and @Ali Fra sent me a email message right away, sharing the picture folder with me. Nice piece of kit!! GLWTS

Hello friends! I currently sold my V11 Le Mans 2003 Nero, cause we are moving to another country I had a plan to make a secondary custom paint job on a full fairing kit that I have bought from Poland 18 months ago. Never had time and maybe for the best, considering I sold the bike. Anyway, my full fairing kit is for sale. I have tried to show all the damages on the kit as I can, but I can send more detailed photos if needed. Its a great opportunity for somebody who wants to make a custom paint job since the kit is damaged. Its not structural damages but I see many scratches on them. Some parts are better than the other. Some parts only require cleaning polish process. Here I share the photos that I took by myself today, trying to show every part of them. The price I ask for all is 600 euros if sold as a kit. If not, I will think about individual prices late. But as you assume it would be much more expensive than the kit price. The price does not include any shipping cost or custom duty fee. I can ship to EU or US. Edit: I have some problem with uploading the photos. Seems like I have to resize all of them cause all of them are above the singular mb limit. The photos will be put soon. Cheers.. No way to upload photos here so I added a drive link accessible to everyone: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Sj2_nWLnFworsFLGh2V95g4rDPrEJutJ?usp=drive_link

Hey Docc! I am moving from Norway, so unfortunately I sold the bike A bitter farewell..

@audiomick Here are the original Hose Remover Pliers ==> Linky

The Italian Stallion (among other wild horses) on Route 120 East of Mono Lake.

@Sempervee1 thanks for that. I didn't know those existed. Might go looking for one of those, too. Getting the fuel lines of the taps on the V35 Imola is always a bit of a pain, and that looks like the tool for the job.

Related to that, sort of: I have, on advice of someone much more experienced than me, a bit of fuel line, about 18 inches or two feet, with the grey connector on it. If the tank needs to be emptied (and yes, I have tried this...) that gets plugged on to the "out" connector on the tank, and the fuel pump gets activated with Guzzidiag. Takes a minute or two, but undoubtably the most comfortable way to empty the tank. PS: I think the "out" connector is the red one (as I already wrote, long tank with the pump in the tank), i.e. the one to the outer side. Please check for yourself though. Look here for instance, page 540 https://guzzitek.org/gb/ma_us_uk/1100/V11_1999-2003_Atelier(Compil-GB-D-NL).pdf

Oh, yes please. That'd be a plane trip though, I think. Hmmm....

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. To the quote: no need to relieve the pressure, but my (limited) experience shows that it helps. It's really not hard. Like I wrote, disconnect the fuel pump, start the bike and let it run till it starves. Last time round, just the start attempt was enough. The motor didn't start because the start attempt "emptied" the fuel lines. That is why I thought that this time round there would be no more pressure in there to speak of. Whatever, each to his own. Fuel running out of the tank: mine (long tank with the fuel pump in the tank) doesn't lose any fuel out of the tank. It dribbles a little bit when the fuel line comes off, but no more than you can catch with a rag. After that, it doesn't lose any more.

This tool is for an entirely different purpose, the jaws separate as you squeeze the handles where the green tool discussed above has the opposite action of bringing the jaws together as the handles are being squeezed. It works by fitting on the fuel line connector and pushing the retaining collar back while allowing you to hold and push the whole connector forward towards the elbow with one hand. Just make sure to hold the notoriously fragile elbow coming out of the tank with your other hand. Now, if you use that other tool successfully for disconnecting your fuel line, great! Its main purpose though is to disconnect rubber tube from their fittings by pushing the end of the tube away from the fitting. As you probably know, if you’ve ever tried pulling on a rubber hose to disconnect it from whatever it is attached to, the harder you pull, the tighter it gets.
