Very cool, good friends and good times. The scale of the event is certainly impressive. Makes me think I should drag my old '72 CB350 out of the garden shed and do "something" with it. I certainly wouldn't mind having that HD XLCR 1000 in the garage.

I'm interested. I'll PM you with a few questions.

These are the small hole exhaust, also come in the large hole version.

I'm also still waiting to see if I won the raffle...I bought 100 tickets, so hoping to have a twin...if I win it, will sell it to you very cheap! I had my Norge out yesterday for a nice 100 miler thru the forest, the bike is running phenomenally after several months of extremely detailed electrical work, fixing some corroded wires, painting some panels and general extreme cleaning with a steam cleaner from head to toe. All of that to say that I'm now getting 50 mpg, which I've never seen before on my usual run, as I'm used to getting 42 all of these years. Good karma I'm guessing!

Agreed- the '05 BMW RT I gave away would have been awesome... but still soulless. That bike with some heart = Norge, I think. I haven't been notified that I won the raffle yet, but it's early.

Part One: Second Part next week.

Eric…I think you would be very happy on a solid Norge for touring! Here’s mine from earlier in the year at Rusk camp ground! Hard to beat for all day comfort, great in the twisties with an upgraded suspension and high speed touring…

Wow indeed, very impressive operation they have and some great pics. Looking forward to some video.

Oh, @Scud I'm in La Jolla. A nice meet point could be at the 15&78 and head north to Castle/Lilac/Couser and Palomar. I'm retired so weekdays are good. If you have a nice route from Carlsbad, I'm happy to try it.

Hi @scud, I just saw this. I ordered a plate from GP about a month ago. If it doesn't come in soon, I'll cancel and swing by. In either event, let's go for a ride soon. I have never ridden with another V11 owner. My Lemans is loving this cooler weather, has even stopped using oil! So I have rings/gaskets in reserve.

Next time I'll have a more appropriate steed...perhaps a Norge. Don't forget to upload your 'Ride Texas' mag picture as a separate stop- I hadn't seen that it's stop #0.

Finished up yesterday with a 600 mile round trip for the last 3 stops! Hope your suggestions make it into the tour next year!

Hey there, I have no subframe, since I had V11 Le Mans, not Sport model. I did not need it. But if you are interested in, this is a complete, good condition fairing kit. Only one part has a damage but not crack. Just deep scratches. Let me know how can I help if you are interested in Have a nice Sunday!

Same here. As I am interested in converting one of the V11 Sports to a LeMans, this is an interesting kit. Aloli Fra, is the subframe for the fairing also part of the set?

Good Luck With (the) Sale

No Swedish torque wrenches. 2 Snap-on, BRITOOL(UK),Usaq(Italia),Teng and Biltema. A good addiction. % no clue. Cheers Tom.

Very complete set of torque wrenches! All the way from Umeå to Luleå and everywhere in between. A Greenie, a Coppa and a Nero...someone has an addiction to V11's I would say, what is that, approximately 30% of all of the V11's in Norway?

Whew! No number...

Ooooh, yes - the Ford 351 Cleveland 4V . . .

Good plan.

That brings to mind the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III. For the uninitiated, that was an homologation special based on a four door family car in the early '70s to race in a particular touring car class in Australia. Even though I'm more on the Holden side of the Ford-Holden debate, I have to admit it was a very, very interesting car. There was some special stuff on them, but nothing that couldn't be sourced after-market after a few years. The point is, sometime in the late '80s or early '90s I heard that there were substantially more of them currently registered than were ever produced. This is one, althought the yellow colour was not that commion, I think. I always think of them as white (with the stripes), or maybe red.

Ok, so You didn't see the name on it. Coppa Italia will get it. May another plate when this one dissapears, hmmm. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Well, I'm not jealous. Not at all. Really. Weellll, maybe a tiny bit... One thing though: why is the Roper Plate hanging on the wall instead of doing it's thing in a bike? Ok, mine is not installed yet either, but I don't have a workshop like that for myself alone, and I still go to work for a living.
